Today's Apocalypse Sign: The "G" Spot


Seriously, you thought this was going to be a post on sex!!!

This is going to be the challenging weekend of the A-Z Challenge. I have to work all weekend AND The Masters golf tournament is on. Today is round two of the tournament so the G-spot today is Golf in Augusta, GA. Tiger Woods will be in the feature group and his whole round should be on TV. The DVR will be working overtime this week capturing roughly 24 hours of golf!

The Masters is one of the four major golf tournaments each year that are most coveted by all professional golfers (and the amateurs that qualify toplay in it). It is the one Major that starts the season and is played at the same course since its inception back in 1934 by the great golfer, Bobby Jones. This is the top major tournament that golfers like me would rather watch than go out and play a round.

The golf course itself is stunning. Every hole is named for the flora that surrounds it. The grass is surreally green. You almost smell the magnolias as the camera pans down the entrance to the course. The putting surfaces are fast as counter tops and precariously pitched to put a premium on shot making.

Tiger Woods' shot in this video was absolutely phenomenal. Even if you are not a golfer you can appreciate thousands of people with all eyes trained on you waiting to explode, hoping for that great shot. Maybe they made the earth vibrate just enough to...well I won't spoil it. Take a look.



My bucket list includes a round of golf at Augusta. All the money in the world won't buy anyone a round there...you have to be invited by a member or you can't play. A friend of mine got to play there 10 or 12 years ago and he said it was almost a spiritual event.

I was hoping this was going to be about sex. Damn. Anyways, I'm not a golf watcher. Like most sports, I would rather play than watch.

Hi Chuck .. sorry about that - I expect I'll watch a little with my mother - I didn't know the holes were named after the flora - I shall keep my ears open for the names now. Cheers enjoy what little G you can watch .. Hilary

Hannah: I watched today when I got home and saw Tiger make a spectacular run to end up in the second to last group tomorrow. I am so stoked for the weekend. I am going vicarious!

Hilary: I'm watching it all! Tiger is in the mix and that is what I watch for. Click on the flora word in the post as it links to a page with all the hole names.
