The show must go on…

Given the temperatures here my fear was that the usual convivial atmosphere would be absent at Six Hill, that stretch of lawn between the tee and the green on the par 3 sixth that is transformed into a UGA fraternity mixer during the Masters.
But Six Hill didn’t disappoint as I watched Tiger Woods roll through a little while ago. There was still college-age men and women downing cups of beer while oblivious to the golf played around them. There was still the usual assortment of madras and colored pants, as if everyone in attendance arrived at Augusta directly from their local Ralph Lauren dealer.
Sadly, there weren’t as many sun dresses, another personal Six Hill favorite, but there was still the sense that almost everyone there knew each other from a recent chapter meeting of Georgia Young Republicans.
In fact, my personal favorite was a college-age guy with moppy hair and red pants wearing a sweatshirt with the words “REAGAN” stripped across the front.
I guess his “NIXON” shirt was in the laundry….

Meanwhile, shows how much I know for poking fun at Stuart Appleby. The Australian is 2-under par and leading the Masters through six holes, with Tiger Woods now just three strokes back.
The Brett Wetterich green jacket will have to wait. He just made a 7 on No. 3 to drop to a tie for ninth..

My favorite golf fashion statement took place at Inverarry in Ft. Lauderdale where I saw the ever suave Continental Seve Ballesteros in a pink Izod golf shirt and khakis and he looked mahvellous, dahlin!
Seriously, this Masters is taking all kinds of turns that we haven’t seen at Augusta before. Some wind and a few landscaping changes have made a big difference.
