There are plenty of beautiful places to have your photo taken at Augusta National, but don’t miss out on Founders Circle.
It is at the base of the flagpole in front of the clubhouse, and it features two plaques dedicated to founding members Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts.
A tournament employee will even take your picture and give you instructions on how to retrieve it from the Masters Web site.
One change this year is that the scoring area has moved from behind the 18th green to an area near the clubhouse. The change brought to mind 1968, when Roberto De Vicenzo signed an incorrect scorecard and didn’t meet Bob Goalby in a playoff.
Goalby on Sunday discussed the aftermath of his only Masters victory.
Q: What do you remember about the 1968 incident?
A: The best thing that ever happened with the scorecard incident that year with Roberto and me is they got tents and buildings now to go into without somebody bothering the player. When I finished that year, Roberto and (Tommy) Aaron were still sitting there looking up in the sky.
Q: Where did you sign your card?
A: My playing partner, Ray Floyd, took a chair and the official scorekeeper was there, so I had to kneel on the ground to do my card.
Q: Who else was sitting there?
A: Aaron and Roberto had finished 30 minutes earlier, and they called them back.
If you’re having a hard time picking a winner this year, consider a golfer from the state of Texas.
The Lone Star State has produced the most Masters champions, with seven different players amassing 12 wins at Augusta National.
Jimmy Demaret won three times, and Ben Crenshaw, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson won two apiece.
Jack Burke Jr., Charles Coody and Ralph Guldahl round out the Texas winners.
Crenshaw, who is making his 41st Masters start this week, is the only active former champion from Texas.
