Nossir ... just recently returned from Honolulu. Gotta get the house ready for Masters guests plus one of my GodDaughters and her parents are coming in for her tour next weekend. Then I work the Masters all week ... then back to Honolulu.

Barely time to breath these next couple of weeks. And I quit going to baseball games in Lexington. Hoping to change our luck up there.

We're trying to hold off moving to Honolulu until next year ... but it means we're going to be going back and forth a lot more than we had planned. The Mrs is going to have to go without me some this year though ... takes me too long to receiver from the jet lag going and coming every month.

got any practice round tix you wanna part with?

I'll pay whatever! Hate that I've lived in GA most of my life and never been to AN.

You know, we have to pay for those these days ... it's not like when I first started where they would comp us a couple of badges for the practice rounds. These days I have to order them shortly after I get my yearly invite - and I've got a waiting list of friends who always want them. I order as many as I can, and even get some of my buddies who work with me down there to get me their allotment, and still I never have enough between my kids and friends.

Wish I could help Dawg ... pardon the cliche, but they are a tough ticket. It's crazy how many foreigners are showing up these days too ... I mean tons of them. Japanese, Chinese, Aussies, Brits, Brazilians ... and the damn Canadians - I'd like to know how they score so many.

We are actually having to hire multilingual custodians these days .... it just amazes me how this thing has evolved over the years.

gotcha, no worries I didn't really expect anything anyway. I've only just in the past few years started putting my name in for the lottery, I guess I never knew about it before then. Hopefully my name will get drawn some day.

I dunno ... but last year they were busting people in the parking lots and along the walk into the gates selling passes ... I mean putting them in handcuffs and taking them away.

I think they are cracking-down on scalpers.

I've never, not ever, seen anyone give a badge away though because those are reusable plus they sell for big money to collectors on eBay.
