The Single Greatest Experience of Your Life
It’s that time again. Dogwood trees are blooming, the azaleas are bursting with vibrant colors. It’s the official end of winter and time to put the parka and the snow blower away.
And, more importantly, “a tradition unlike any other” draws nigh. Yes, I’m talking about The Masters golf tournament.
A visit to the hallowed grounds of Augusta National Golf Club for The Masters is widely known as the toughest ticket in sports to obtain. Scalpers can fetch north of $10K for one badge.
If acquiring a Tournament badge is difficult, getting an invitation to actually play the Augusta National Golf Club is downright impossible-for any sum of money.
But, for the last year I’ve been going to church and calling my Mom regularly. And, last week I was finally able to nervously push a wooden peg into that hallowed and historic ground. It was epic.
Not only did I get to play Augusta National but I got to enjoy the round with a lifelong best friend. It was an experience I will never forget and, more importantly, it did not disappoint.
