I must admit I got chill bumps this morning when I woke up and walked my dog. The reason: it's time for one of the greatest single sporting events of the year — the Masters. I'm not a huge TV watcher, especially when it comes to sporting events; I'd much rather be there to see the action in person.
Now I must admit, however, that HD technology gets you pretty darn close to that. Still, one of the things I watch obsessively each year is the Masters. Coverage begins today at 3 p.m. on ESPN.
There is a semi-local tie to this year's Masters. It's not every day that someone so young gets to play Augusta National, but such is the case for Alabama senior Michael Thompson. Former Clarion Ledger writer Ian R. Rapoport has a great write-up in today's Birmingham News.
Here's hoping he's playing well. It must be nice. I'll have to call up Wade Phillips of WTOK and get him to tell me how great Augusta National is again. Wade, as many of you will recall, moved to Augusta for a few years before returning to Meridian.
