Why is The Masters so famous?
And, it is the only major played on the same course every year. Incredible history on every hole.
The back nine is very risk/reward. Someone will shoot 31; someone will shoot 38. Huge swings, great hole designs, lightning fast undulating greens. Usually sets up for great drama.

So to recap yesterday: Bostondevil is like LeBron and professionally she goes off weekly while I am Tony Delk and you see my name and go: "Tony Delk. He didn't suck. Nice little change of pace point guard. Wait? He had a 50 point game one time?
So basically the Masters started as a tournament before the real concept of majors became a thing. There were just some tournaments more prestigious than others. So it was a tournament played at the same course, just like the Kemper open or the TPC at Sawgrass. It was just the most prestigious one. Here is a good article on the modern concept of majors. Golf is like tennis in that many of these tournaments were open only to amateurs and not professionals. This persisted for a long time so a lot of the past champions of tennis and golf tournaments may not have been among the greatest players of their era. So basically it's a major because people decided it was and it's played at the same course because it always was.

The Augusta National was founded by Bobby Jones and they started an invitational event in 1934. It is an annual invitational event put on by the golf course itself. All the other events on the U.S. calendar, I believe, are sponsored by the PGA.
The other three majors (U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship) have locations chosen by their respective committees and they move them around.
Jack Russell Terriers are a pain in the butt when they visit.
I would like you to explain more about this. I'm interested in why so many Jack Russells come to your place. Do you have a Jack Russell terrier haven? I have so many questions right now. Is this federally protected Jack Russell land? Are there feral packs of Jack Russells? Why the hell does a dude named Jack Russell have a terrier named after him? My mind is absolutely swirling right now. I'm a little dizzy. Going to sit down.
Aimo is going to read my post and think I'm either asking too many questions about Jack Russells or not enough. But she will definitely think one of those.
we have one who visits us with its owner for dinner...the first thing it does each time is jump over and deck railing and disappear for hours, inducing stress in its owner, and hence us. It can stay home next time. My wife even provided it with a perfectly lovely marrow bone, but it still had to bolt...I remember our Exalted Leader Julio telling me all about his Jack Russell Terrorist...now I get it.
