This is the weekend that even casual golf fans settle in for some long stretches of TV.
The Masters – and the beauty of Augusta National Golf Club – is quite the draw.
What a rank amateur would score from the championship tees at Augusta National was the subject Friday during my time on the Morning Rush radio show with Tommy Craft and Tye Richardson.
I’ve played that exact setup, although not at today's more brutally long setup. Augusta National was around 6,800 yards from the tournament tees when I played as part of the media lottery after the 1977 tournament, when Ray Floyd beat runner-up Ben Crenshaw by eight strokes.
