Getting Ready

Day 2 in Augusta still brought the wind, though not as much...warmer temperatures and a whole lot more action. Most everyone was out on the course at some point this morning, practicing, working on the little things, things to get ready for Thursday's beginning of Golf's First Major.

Tiger Woods finally made it out onto the course today. He played 9 holes this morning with one of the few people who hit it farther than he does, that being one Bubba Watson. We watched on the 9th hole as Bubba flew his ball farther than anyone else on the day...and arguably over the past few years, as his ball rolled down the hill and finally came to rest on the "patron" walkway at the bottom of the hill. Tiger...not so much, in the Pine straw, about 40 yards or so back.

The crowds again were huge and the Par 3 was its usually goof off day. Greg Norman easily with the highlight moment of the day as he dropped a hole-in one, made even more significant when he got a congratulatory kiss from his caddy. His caddy...none other than wife, Chris Evert.

All in all a good day was had by all. Some of Thursday's feature pairings include Tiger, with Stuart Cink and Jeev-Milkha Singh, the tee off around 2. Most everyone else of significance out early on what is supposed to be a warm spring day here in Augusta.
