Immediately following the game, I'll drive down I-77 and spend the night in Charleston, WV. Over the next eleven days, I'll play courses in West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Indiana.
The highlight of the trip occurs on Sunday, April 13 where I'll be rewarded for years of persistence with The Masters Tournament's ticket lottery. Imagine the thrill of receiving a notification from The Masters Tournament that you have won the right to purchase two tickets to the final round of the 2014 Masters Tournament and then ask a friend to join you at the event! My good friend, Steve Ramp of Cape Coral, FL will be joining me a few days before the tournament for some golf prior to The Masters. And we will play a round of golf the day after the tournament ends before he heads south on I-75 and I head north back to Indiana.
This will be my second trip to Augusta National. In 2004, I was invited to spend the day at one of the tournament's practice rounds. 2004 marked Arnold Palmer's last Master's Tournament. While I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to experience the final round of a Major Tournament, it is unfortunate that cameras and phones are not allowed at this event.
