7 things about masters we have never noticed (or enjoyed!) Until this year

Collectively, Golf.com edit crew has been in its part of the gentlemen, including 2025 edition just last week. (If you lost it – but, really, there is no chance of this – Rory Mcilroy Made’s story.) After some visits, you might think you’ve seen, heard and enjoyed all, but that’s the beauty of masters and Augusta National: Tripdo trip ‘about wealth reveals something you miss in a preliminary loop. Upon their return from this year’s tour, we asked our staff fleet what new observations caught our eyes.

Favorable good point

The best place to see masters? It is left of 7 green. This is right – in BEFORE Nine, not back. I am not sure how this look at my eyes has avoided me over the years, but it is my new favorite place (See the red circle below). You can see the zip wedges at 7, torn drivers going to green at 3, that descending, the long iron rope cords go with 2, and its opposite is going 8. All deep shots, and you should not even move to any of them. Better still, there is a concession attitude 80 yards away. – Sean Zak

An underestimated craft

I love politics without phoneAnd I want we have to rely on the giant screams and tables of results to guide us through what is happening during the rounds – but until last week I had never noticed the dramatics that those smart workers put on their craft. Sunday, for example, like Rory, Justin and Ludwig fought itPatrons gathered about the 18th green were fixed on the score table between the 10th and 18th holes, and each new number kept them aware. But the way the operators posted the numbers and on the unison, as if they were at the same time removing band-Aids-was a delicate but important technique that I never caught. It was fun – and I bet those responsible for posting the results were conceit knowing the power they possessed. – Joshow Berhow

Newly

It happens to me not to be a meat. Do not eat the bird, the pig – nothing on foot. He was pleased to see a new article in the club’s concession menu: The Thomato Pie. It looks like a McDonald apple pie, but it is, by its name, a kind of tomato.

My friend Bertis said, “Yes, well – you know what makes it so good, right?”

No.

“Those Led”.

I couldn’t tell whether he was joking or not. I asked one of the young people working behind the counter if she knew about the ingredients in the tomato pie. She said she did. I asked if there was any meat in it. She said she didn’t – that it was a vegetarian dish. I asked him how he can know it.

She said, “We were told during the training.”

Augusta – club, tour, concessions – is directed to how the rest of the world should be directed. – Michael Bamberger

A famous glance … Unlike any other

Does this count?! I saw Roger Federer! This was distinguished as extremely delightful. Roger Federer! In real life!

There are many celebrities in masters, and it’s good to see them too – I saw Rory Mcilroy’s 17th holes from adjacent to a screaming Noah, for example, and it seems at least one -third of the NFL’s start -ups do it here, and the mannings are now members, and now are members, and are now members, and are now members, and now are members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members, and are now members now, They are both members, and now they are members, and are both members, and now they are members, and are both members, and are both members, and now are members, and mannings are both members, and mannings are both members, and mannings are both members, and Ken Griffey Jr. It was at the media center – but Federer’s atmosphere is at another level.

I had just asked Xander schauuffle A question in the interview area after the round and Federer walked after him from the club and I thought by law to stop saying, “Hey, Xander, check it, it’s Roger Feder!” I didn’t. But I wonder if Schauffle left Augusta thinking to himself, ‘damn, feder was there and I didn’t even see it?’ Hope no. – Dylan Dothier

For that bar

It’s no secret that Augusta National Basics Drains the fair and fragmentation areas THEir grain, ie, from green to tee. “The result”, as my colleague Josh Sens noted in 2020“It’s a beautiful look uniform, with no different shades of green you see in clubs that mow in striped or striped patterns.” They are also a strategic reason for the mowing model: the removal of the update bar is said to be more challenging.

Last week, however, I learned that there is an exception from the rule: the area in front of the PAR-4 removable.

“The only place that is descended,” Jordan Spieth said after his third round 69 on Saturday. Spieth’s press conference that day was predominantly dominated by his disappointment with the predominance of mud balls He had encountered during his round, but by the end of his session, he brought the surprise to the 3rd hole.

For the deduction mower model in front of that green, he said: “This rewards you for a phenomenal blow, and it makes it a second blow not to go crazy if you just don’t pull it off. The better the second blow can hang on the road.”

He added, “I like it a lot in this regard.”

Earlier in the day at 3, Spieth had left himself 44 yards in green. He led a low wedge, rotating to the right front in 11 feet, setting a stress -free precursor.

Apparently he liked this too. – Basic Alan

Something in the air

I never knew I had seasonal allergies. In fact, I never knew I had allergies of any kind.

Then I arrived in place in Augusta and my skin literally changed pigments.

It turns out, the golf course was having one of the worst years ever for seasonal allergies – the “highest levels” of spores in 80 years, someone told me partially run by Hellenic hurricane. My eyes were red and itchy, my skin was soft. It was deplorable. Then my collaborator Claire gave me an allega, and my life changed for the better.

Great lesson here? When Augusta’s national leader Fred Ridley says it’s a great year for Azaleas, pack your allergy medications. – James Colgan

Witness

As a routine wheel first, all I saw, listened and enjoyed was unexplored waters-from the echo of cheers like manual results tables the taste of my first Georgia Peach ice cream sandwich to see my childhood printing (Joe Jonas) a stogie outside the club.

But the only thing I will never forget: I made my way through the crowd to take a direct eye to Rory’s Putt at 18 in the regulation. I am prejudiced, so I closed my eyes, not being able to endure the thought of me shooting the moment. Silly, I know. The fall showed me the result.

When Rory turned 18 years old to play off, I said, screw it, I am watching it this time. And I did. And it was epic.

Oh, a sudden weakness of staying on my land at 18: half of my face was burned. – Ema Devine
