Fore!

Spring is here. So is the golfing fever in Augusta, Georgia. Today, all players at Masters Championship put their best shots on display. Their shots not only are accurate but are also very long. Once again they made this year’s Masters another memorable one with a double eagle by a South African player. Louis Oosthuizen lost the coveted green jacket to Bubba Watson, a self-taught American pro, and a leftie, but the precision shot he made today on the second hole earned himself a prominent place at Augusta National Golf Club’s history. The first double eagle happened a long time ago in 1935. These guys are sure good as their commercials said. This explains why the purses for the men’s professional tours are so generous.

And I am so glad that I got to watch this year’s Masters again on television. As long as the players of the game act gentlemanly on the course and do not swing their clubs against their competitors, I think I will always be a loyal fan to this frustrating but exhilarating game. - Ayee
