Well, it might have been the best weekend of my life. There's too much to type so I'll just copy and paste my post from FB:
"I can't truly put into works the experience of attending the Masters. Walking through the gates, seeing the emblematic scoreboard on the first fairway, the serene tee box on two, the elevation drop on six, the magnolia tree on 10 that Bubba curved his approach around to win in 2012, the pine straw that Lefty hit out of on 13 to win in 2010, and the Sunday hole location on 16 that has shaped so many wins and losses throughout the years. On top of that, I got to witness arguably the most iconic athlete since Jordan winning his 5th Masters 22 years after his first, after so many people had written him off. The atmosphere at Augusta National with Tiger in contention is indescribable. No matter where you are on the 345-acre course, you know when Tiger hit a remarkable shot as the roars echo through the pines like thunder. This weekend was one I'll never forget and one I'll be talking about until the day I die. Just bury me in this hat" :wearing Masters hat in pic:
That pretty much sums it up. I lucked into weekend passes so we saw the 3rd and final rounds. The first day we took our time, hit the gift shop on the way in, so by the time we walked out to the course it was after 9AM, so all the good chair spots were taken. We ended up setting up on the 17th tee box and then walked the course. I followed Jordan for the second nine. Spent some time in the bleachers on 12, fairway on 13, and bleachers on 15.
On Sunday, we got up earlier, and were able to get about 5th row on the 16th green with a great vantage point. They don't serve beer until 11AM on Sunday, but fortunately we had some suite passes with a full bar. Had a Tito's in hand by 8AM and walked the course. We spent a lot of time on the 2nd tee box and that might be my new favorite spot on the front nine. We were on the side with the wall and you're so close to the players that you can reach out and touch them. On the groupings with no notable players, we were literally the only patrons at the tee box. We could heard all the player-caddie and player-player convos. Got to hear them cut up, make fun of each other's drives, and drop F bombs. Definitely a different experience than on TV, and it was surreal that we were at the Masters and were the only people on a given hole. We ended up back at our chairs on 16 right after Justin Thomas' ace, so we missed both that day. Ended up watching the last 7 groups come through. The Tiger effect is real. The electricity in the air when he is on a hole is unreal. And to top it off his shot on 16 sealed the victory for him.
10/10. Would experience again.
My friends gave me shit at the spring game for saying I'd rather have a badge for the Masters than go to the National Championship game with the Horns in it.
You just don't know til you go.

I need a ruling here from the marshalls.
Wife decides to purchase a massage for me, even though I don’t want one and never had one and don’t like people touching me.
It was for like 5 days after she told me. I forget the appointment. I tell her I missed it, she gets mad at me for wasting money.

Here are some of the worst people in air travel:
I travel weekly and deal with some variant of these folks every week (although I no longer fly SWA)
Fat Zero Core Strength Guy - Uses the back of your seat as a fucking pull up bar to lever himself up out of his seat to go to the head
Fast Recline Guy - Seeking out the destruction of laptop screens every trip as he slams his seat back as fast as it can possibly go
Carrying 9000lb carry on down aisle sideways guy - Determined to shoulder check entire plane with his giant Helly Hansen bag stuffed to the gills full of shit from his Princess Cruise trip
Rush up the aisle as plane is at gate guy - doesn't ask or articulate the fact they have connection - just bum rushes as fast as they can towards front of plane.
Old person who apparently hasn't watched news in regards to airline travel rules in 15 years guy - O/U 3 times through metal detector before they get all of the shit out of their pockets - change, knives, phone etc etc etc
If you are flying Southwest
Family who boards plane last because they were stuffing their face at the airport McDonald's but has to sit together and you are flying solo so you get asked to take middle seat elsewhere for a drink coupon and maybe some karma people - Fuck these people
Fat Zero Core Strength Guy - is also the guy who when he gets in the seat, collapses in it enough to almost break the bolts anchoring the seat to the plane.
The I always sucked at Tetris guy - huge line behind him, no one in front of him as he tries to stick his carry on in the compartment every direction but the right way
the I’m in C group but I’m gonna pretend I don’t understand Southwest boarding guy - he’s self explanatory. And an asshole.
the I love salmon when I fly guy - the leftover shit you bring from home to eat should not foul the entire airplane!

We have that dilemma next week, think we're going to try Seaworthy.
Justine also has an interesting late night menu.
Thanks, it’s on my list. Would welcome a report.

So I keep seeing folks post this. "Hey everybody, just use $20 /gal gas, and you'll be good".
Meanwhile, every mexican that cuts lawns for a living fills their cans at the cheapest station in town, no matter what town you are in. ( And they gather at the coffee pots and take forever to get the cream/sugar blend just right)
Seriously, let's say gas is $3 bucks a gallon. Trufuel is about 20. So, 17 bucks extra per gallon.
How many gallons do you expect to burn over the life of a mower? 10 gallons is $ 170.00 extra for trufuel, give or take. If you burn 20 gallons, you've spent more than the price of the average new mower. I fill a 5 gal can every month or two, I suppose. Maybe I'll start keeping track of that. I'll bet I've burned over 50 gals in my weed machine. I would have spent an extra $850 on trufuel. I could have replaced the mower with a comparable new one a half-dozen times for the price differential.
Look motherfucker, we don't come to Surly for a dose of common sense. Or maths. 😉

I'm 6' and about 180 and I'm wearing a Masters medium today.
If any of you guys at the tournament could hook a brother up with some golf shirts, I'm good for it.

Did you fly into Liberia? And how did you get to the resort? The site says it's a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours from either Liberia or San Jose to the resort.
I'd be tempted to rent a car, but not sure about the quality of roads. The good thing the Southwest flight from Houston arrives at 1:00 PM , so that leaves plenty of day light. Also are taxis readily available for La Fortuna?
Flew in to San Jose. It’s it is much cheaper and same distance. To the hotel in Arenal in a van arranged by the hotel. It was a no brainer. I don’t recommending driving there. We then took another van to Tamarindo for a few days. Then flew out of Liberia. More expensive but much closer to where we ended our vacation and a better departure time.

Headed to Kentucky 4/15-4/19 for [mention=1802]BTW[/mention] 40th. Hitting up some distilleries, horse races, Louisville Slugger HQ, and Valhalla.
Any can’t-miss recs? I know we’re doing Makers. Others are up in the air at this point, I believe.
BT for sure. Stitzel Weller was cool as well

In what resort did you stay?
FYI if you do Arenal (and you should) here is one of the best hotels in the world to bring your lady friend, same company and next to each other, I've stayed in both and had an extraordinary experience

Not to go all male privilege on your collective asses but this is example #3,247,898 of shit most of y'all don't have to worry about that some of us do. I mean, God forbid we females should be able to go out drinking and having a good time without having to be hypervigilant about being raped and murdered just because we were distracted or drunk and mistook the wrong car for our ride. I mean, I have seen some of you fuckers BRAG about doing shit a lot more infantile and idiotic than that, and give high fives all around. "Oh, hahaha, we were so fucking smashed, hahahaha! Oh, too bad I wasn't there, sounds like it would have been a riot!" Yeah, 99.99% of the time it turns out fine for everyone. Until it doesn't. Is it so much of a goddam burden to talk about things that Uber and Lyft might be able to do to mitigate the possibility of something like this happening again? Or to create additional visibility around the issue so that people know that, you know, it's an issue? Or is it just so much easier to just call the girl a dumbass and the father a whiny bitch and move on? Jesus H. in a sidecar.

Buy them there. There’s a spot for your business card in the back so you can ID your chair over the other thousand in the vicinity so bring some cards
Buy as much Masters stuff as you can afford. Or you will regret it later. The golf shirts are excellent. Also hit it early. It’s a mad house and they may run out of popular items. Or the size that fits you.

Thanks for the responses. Although many of you are suggesting I run from hole to hole, my plan was to bring my own cart and just drive. It'll keep me off my feet and give me a place to put my cooler, phone, metal chair, and air horn.
My plan for walking the course was to follow the first group from 1-18 just to see every hole, then head to 16 since that is my favorite hole from a spectator stand point. My favorite hole on the course is 13 but you're so damn far from the green that I don't think I'll want to spend much time there.
I actually only got tickets for Sunday, but I'll be arriving in Augusta on Friday. Where are the best bars and/or places to watch on Saturday?
13 is one of the best spots to watch. Get your chair on the rope early. You can see them approach and then hit to the green. Everyday a golfer will hit into you, so pay attention. You can see the 14th tee as well. Easy walk to Amen Corner and also 16, which is where shit gets real. And the 15th green. And the guys hitting over your head on 5. Walk a little further to watch them play the par 3 4th and approach on 3 is also great. And the concessions are right nearby. And the pisser is right up the hill.
