    What does the Masters mean to you?

    It's a pretty broad question, I know... But I'd love to hear your answer.

    The plan is to compile some of the best answers in a blog post on Team Titleist later this week – so make sure you put your Herbert Warren Wind hats on before you start writing!

    (Who's Herbert Warren Wind? He's just that guy responsible for coining "Amen Corner." He was also a pretty good golf writer.)

    Feel free to make it as short or as long as you want. I look forward to reading them.

    It is Golf excitement at it's best. It highlights the best time of year for sports. Have been to one and followed everyone for 48 years. Nothing says springtime, and nothing brings me back to my youth like the Masters!

    The first Tournament I vividly remember watching was the 1992 Masters.  On Sunday, Freddy C's ball miraculously stopped on the way down to the depths of Rae's Creek.  I remember sitting there with my grandpa watching him pull it off and go on to win.  I thought, and still think that Freddy is so cool.  After we watched him slip on the jacket, we went into the yard and chipped balls until it was dark.  I had always liked golf but never really loved it until then.  I'm sure somewhere out there there's a kid watching his first Masters, and it will no doubt be the beginning for him.  The Masters is not just the beginning of spring, or the beginning of the Majors,  every year it's the beginning of Golf as a love affair for someone.

    The combination of the golf history and traditions that go with the Masters along with the drama that usually comes on the back 9 Sunday afternoon, add the beauty of Augusta National and it all equals up to my favorite sports event of the year.

    The Masters brings out everything I love about the game of golf.  I love the history, traditions and mystique surrounding Augusta and this tournament.  It seems to awaken golfers in Indiana as the weather changes and we start getting out on the course then watching the tournament afterward.  I got hurt last year in Afghanistan and they medevaced me to Fort Gordon for treatment (broken wrist, nothing heroic).  My wife flew in the first day I arrived back in the United States and the first thing I did was go eat a real cheeseburger and the second thing was drive around Augusta trying to get a look at the course.  Not much to see from the roads surrounding the course but I remember thinking how cool it was just to see it from the outside.

    I would have to say it is a shrine to golf's greatest players who have walked this course since the beginning.
