burrito day 4/8/05

Aaaaahhh -- the pinnacle of the golfing season is upon us. So early in the year you might ask? Well, while most other professional sports save the best for last, the PGA schedules its first, and arguably most important, major event relatively early in the season. The MASTERS is simply a thing of beauty. Whether you are a golf / sports fan or not,the MASTERS offers everything that is great about sports, and especially golf -- an impeccable golf course w/ a fair but incredibly challenging layout, ultimate prestige, and more than anything else, the overwhelming pressure of a Major tournament. For those that are more familiar with the sport, some intriguing stories come into play for the 2005 edition-- will Tiger build upon recent momentum and continue his march towards Jack Nicklaus' seemingly insurmountable record of 18 major careervictories? Can Lefty (or Lumpy) defend his 2004 title and solidify his position as contender in the Majors? Will this year's early weather conditions allow a new championship to rise to the top? This weekend will answer all...

Golf fan or not, the BDC strongly recommends tuning into this weekend's tourney, if only to watch the leaders play the back nine on Sunday afternoon. Having walked the fairways of Augusta (home of the Masters)last spring, I can assure you it will be time well-spent.

...and one more thing -- while the BDC nominally chooses not to endorse any one team or player (this is an absolute lie of course!), it is inevitable in this case -- Go TIGER! YOU THE MAN! Go on with your BAD self! The ultimate athlete -- in Robin Williams' words, "Black athleticability combined with Buddhist concentration -- SSHHIIITAAH! -- not even a German geneticist could thought that one up!"
