Turkey hunting or going to the Master's. Guess which one I chose? By the way, for several years in a row.

I did for years and now I regret never going to The Masters. My wife’s father lived for golf along with her family. They couldn’t understand me not wanting to go. They are all gone and she lost possession of the 4 family tickets for her family. Long story but not really. Anyways her grandfather on her mothers side was good friends with Bobby Jones. Her most embarrassing moment was her father telling Fuzzy he’s coming over the top, stay down and through the ball. She said fuzzy said a few choice words, shook his head and walked off. LOL They always booked a house on the course and stay the week. Sell their tickets on Sunday to pay for the trip and head home to watch the last day in tv. One could see the final much better that way.
I played for UNA during the 80s and hit a long ball. Couldn’t score for squat, poor putter.
One of the few regrets I have.

Never said I have a problem with it, just said I don’t understand it.

As much as I love to Turkey hunt, you crazy for not jumping on the opportunity to go…I’ve been once and it’s incredible.
I love golf and I went to The Masters for the weekend in 2014. I'm glad I did it but have zero desire to ever go back. Cool experience but it's way better watching it on TV, in my opinion.

Been signed off for while - great story FreeState - i went in 92 to practice round - anybody could go then - it was awesome
If some of you didnt know - the reason most were upset w liv is because it is backed by the saudies - you know - our biggest enemies 🤣🤣. You know - they guys that wish we all would dir - remember thise guys ??? 🤣🤣. So whiny r not - what they are doing could hurt an american tradition and an american business and why guys like JT - tiger - etc hav nothing to do w it - showing some backbone and character. America is in a big enough down spiral to hope the freaking turbin heads kick us in the nutts. Something they want to do anyway Unbelivable 😀
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

You’re dead on T-Dog. I don’t fault a person for wanting to do better for their family but when they do it with money that’s dipped in American blood I personally don’t support it.

I’ll never understand people clicking on a Masters thread to tell people they don’t understand why people like the Masters
But; they love to watch fish swimming around on a 20" screen on their boat. Let everybody enjoy what ever they enjoy; I love turkey hunting but my trip to the Master's was memorable. Looks like a 2 man race right now; I will pull for Rahm. Not a fan of the Saudi money thing and he has a hawt wife
I went to practice round in ‘97 when Tiger won his first one. I’ve got a hat someplace that I would love to get Tiger to sign. It was an amazing experience and I’m not a huge golf fan. I bet I haven’t played more than a dozen rounds in my life but I love watching the Masters. And I’ve never missed a single day of turkey hunting watching the Masters.
