Masters time!

Alright golf fans, it's officially spring again! In case you live in Glendive and your recent winter blast has you second guessing my proclamation, on my calendar the official first day of spring revolves around the second Thursday in April, also known as the first round of the Masters! Every golf fan is different but for me the Masters is my favorite major championship of the year! I love all four of them in their own way but the Masters has a special kind of luster!
So it is only inevitable that my family and I have started a little competition. Last year was our first ever Gannon Masters Challenge and it was a blast! The game is we each pick 10 players and we are awarded points for each player for where they place in the tourney. $20 buy in and he who has the most points come Sunday night gets the pot! Last year we split it up and payed three places but this year it was decided winner takes all which makes us think about our picks a little more, such as Curtis doesn't have Bo Van Pelt on his team this year:)
So consider this an open invite, if you want to join us just email me your list of 10 players and ill reply with a points breakdown and come Sunday everyone gets a group email showing the big winner so you know where to send your $20, or just how much you should be expecting:). Wether you want to play or not I hope all of you look at Masters week with the same joy that I do and even if your not a golfer turn on CBS this weekend and take in the beauty of the most perfectly manicured golf course in the world!

Remember, as my buddy Jim Nantz says, "it's a tradition unlike any other!"
