Oh yeah, and a winning score of 289

Final tallies on the week at the Masters, and a rental house that this morning looks like it was hit by a typhoon.
Eleven different people sleeping under our roof.
Six people who were paying to be there.
Two brothers from New Mexico who didn’t pay a dime but cooked us a full Mexican meal at midnight on Saturday.
One (that I know of) fitful sleep that night.
Two early-morning tennis matches.
One early-morning tennis match prematurely ended when a writer was seized by back spasms.
One prominent, well-respected writer, overcome by rage, tossing his tennis racket over a fence.
Four pairs of shorts packed, none of which left my bag.
Two pairs of khaki pants in my bag, which covered me all six days.
One writer with apparently a very understanding wife, who literally asked me this morning how to use a washing machine.
Seventeen times I was forced to come up with a new way to describe the temperatures here. Among the winners: frigid, bitter, bone-chilling, raw, arctic, chilly. And oh yeah, cold.
Zero people who feel sorry for me that I had to spend a week covering the Masters.
