I don't know about anyone else but when I see these commercials on CBS. I get chills. I love the Masters. It also reminds me of watching it with my grandfather growing up. He'll be watching it and probably playing in heaven this year for the first time.

Of course I can't go this year (the BIGGEST YEAR EVER) because my buddy, a HUGH golf fan is getting married in Dallas that weekend. Forget wedding gifts, that guy should buy us a gift. That's tongue-in-cheek of course, or is it???

I've been there twice. Television needs smell-a-vision. Both times I took the whole family and everyone could not get over the smell of all the flowers. Almost like you were walking through a forrest of Summers Eve. Seriously, the course is the best I've ever walked on.

The Masters is probably my second favorite annual sporting event behind the OSU/Michigan game, and since I've been to that, attending the Masters and walking Augusta National is #1 on my sports bucket list. I always watch all the coverage I can being it live coverage on TV, live online feeds, of the Golf Channel's round-the-clock coverage all week. I also love it because it finished off the best week in sports (Final Four, opening day, Masters).

I also wasn't surprised that the Master commercials you spoke of suddenly had Tiger Woods in them the day after he announced he'd be playing.

Also, Jim Nantz has the best job in the world for a week, Final Four straight to Augusta.

I agree I like the commercials but I don't watch a ton of tv.

Augusta National Golf Club, with the help of our sponsors, is committed to limited commercial interruption, bringing you 56 minutes out of every hour of golf action.

Love the first week or two in April, you've got the NCAA Tournament wrapping up, baseball starting, then the Masters :) Can't wait for this year because of all the hoopla with Tiger. Used to watch this every year with my Dad, we probably talk on the phone about 10 times on Sunday :)

If you're down on your luck and not feeling all that fresh, attend The Masters. :D

Nantz is the best commentator is sports in my opinion. The guy can call the Super Bowl, Final Four, and the Masters and make them all sound like they are the only sport he does. Most commentators only call one or two sports, he can do it all.

One of the best things about the Masters.
