DQ? Could have a put a nicer way, but the truth is the truth. Here is a free tip for anyone entering golf pools; don't pick your neighbors! Loren Roberts and I live about 10 miles apart. No, I don't know him personally, but some clients of mine who do know him say is a class act.

I'm pulling for Norman now. I think he is "owed" one by the golf-gods. Nothing against McCarron or Jose, I just would like to see one of the games most dominate players in my lifetime get a green jacket.

BV,

If you get to play Augusta maybe you can find Norman's ball behind the twelfth.

Have several friends who have played the course (four of them in the Masters) and they all say that the twelfth is the most intimidating hole. Most of them were not overly impressed with the course and described the greens as carnival golf. Much is done in the way of aesthetics to make the course look good for TV.

I would still like to give it a try. First USGA tournament is in July so I had better start practicing.

Play often and play well.

Ken
