My in fact extremely first standard year at Golfweek stays in the books, and yeah, there were some memories.
I’m going to cut finest to the chase. A specific week at Augusta National in April extended as the clear winner for my 2016.
Yes, the Masters * hint flowery music with smooth Jim Nantz voiceover *. Every golf fan dreams about being on company or industrial or property home homes of Augusta and any who discuss they do not are phonies. I started playing golf when I was 7 and have really in reality been yearning for that possibility for 16 years– it’s certainly appeared a series of times in between myself and my papa, similarly a dedicated golf fan.
I was hoping it would occur some day, nevertheless not at 23 years of ages, and I absolutely didn’t think I would be covering amongst the most waited on golf competitors all over the world by that age. It took location, and I’ll be entirely grateful for that.
You’ve certainly described the very best place if you pick a little insight into specifically what it’s like for a media member going to the Masters for the extremely truly exceptionally actually extremely very first time. My incredibly genuinely really first day at Augusta was the Sunday prior to the action, and it was a general day.
Myself and associate Brentley Romine, similarly a first-timer at the Masters, picked to get as much as Augusta as rapidly as possible for no other part than to soak whatever in. That exposed a sleep reduced night, a half-hour flight to Brentley’s home at 1 a.m. to park my cars and truck for the week, and after that a location in the tourist’s seat while he drove 6 hours through the wee morning hours so we may reach the centers well prior to twelve midday.
It needs to have the lack of rest. We were at the Masters.
From there, the remainder of the week passed quickly definitely, nevertheless every minute was sustaining. And I specify that without even seeing the whole course!
Some other observations from a Masters novice:
Perhaps it’s just me, nevertheless I’ve seen the trees through the screen and figured the course was rather usually restricted. It remains in locations, nevertheless there are lots of locations where it sort of appear like you’re in a substantial pasture.
My favored put on the entire Augusta service or industrial or home based business or domestic property or industrial home was honestly not on the 18-hole course where they play the Masters. Yes, it was a lot more fantastic than Amen Corner. I lowered there Wednesday to take a look at out the Par-3 Contest and it’s challenging to discuss how cool it is to look down at those 2 holes, surrounded by water with fans hugging every inch of rapidly utilized land with the sun spraying down.
Anyways, it in truth took me a long time to find them, in the starting going to concessions (because that’s where the beer is) nevertheless no dice. Not particularly existing shot-by-shot as Spieth shockingly lost the Masters, nevertheless I honestly enjoyed doing this merely as much. Whatever you’re doing on the centers on Masters Sunday at Augusta National, you’re on the centers at Augusta National on Masters Sunday.

The Masters experience was most amazing, nevertheless there was definitely more to my year. I went to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., for 2 weeks which was a blast.
When it worries the genuine action, I do not need to state extreme on either last, idea of that if you focused, they were both fantastic. The Oregon males’s win had the cooler environment, I think, merely due to the reality that there was your home crowd there slowly cheering on and rushing the green at the end. Washington ladies’s accomplishment was more surreal, considering the marvel hole-outs the Huskies dealt with to win all of it.
And this is how the match ended: UCLA’s Bronte Law, the finest player in college golf, holes a putt to win a crucial point and screams in total complete satisfaction. Basically 30 seconds in the future about 100 yards away, Washington freshman Sarah Rhee containers a greenside bunker shot to basically seal the Huskies win and move them to the finals.
There were great deals of others I went to this year that I was delighted in cover and totally delighted in. When I went on the highway and even when I didn’t in 2016, it was an amazing year. When 2017 hits, I think we made fantastic strides at Golfweek.com this year and will make more quickly.
