One of the most memorable trips to The Masters was a Wednesday practice round. We followed John Daily and Fuzzy Zoeller. Those two were a hoot! Chain smoking, joke cracking crowd interacting hoots. Occasionally they even made a good shot and were rewarded with the golf clap. Later that day Greg Norman was on the practice green. He had putted the ball to within 4 feet of the hole. Removing his cap and scratching his head he announced that he needed putting lessons. He walked to a five year old boy who was glued to his every move. Lifting the rope he hands his putter to the kid and says "Show me how to do it". The kid takes the putter and makes the shot. Something he'll remember the rest of his life. The crowd roared as if he had just won the tournament as the ball found the hole. You can't buy that, it's just part of what it's all about.
