Have told this story in other places on here, but will re-do it here…
Grew up 75 miles from Augusta. Actually lived in a house that was in a neighborhood with a golf course, but never had much interest in the sport.
April of 1997 was my senior year of high school. I watched that Masters and as basic as it sounds, I saw a guy playing golf that looked a little like me (non-white, tall, skinny) absolutely dominating and it was unlike anything I had ever seen in golf before. I started playing golf because Tiger won the 1997 Masters, and it’s been part of my life ever since then.
I’ve had great luck and have been to multiple Masters tournaments since that time, so all of those in-person experiences were special as well. But 2019 was also pretty special because I was a father by then, and just like KVV said, the hug between Tiger and Charlie meant a heck of a lot more because I was a father.
