A New Era
What could be better than watching The Masters for four days a year? Watching it for five!
The annual Par 3 contest will be televised for the first time ever this afternoon on ESPN. Tiger's sitting it out, but most players will get in on the event and try to lose. For those not in the know, no one has doubled up on Par Three Champion and Green Jacket in the same year.
If I'm Joe Grinder and made it into the field this week, I'd be trying my best to win this event. Why, when it's such a bad omen? Because then my name would be forever inscribed at Augusta National. That's not such a bad thing.
