The Masters Tournament, also
known as The Masters or The U.S. Masters (outside of the United
States), is one of four major championships in men's professional
golf.
The Masters, scheduled for the
first full week of April, is the first of the majors to be played
each year. Unlike the other major championships, the Masters
is held every year at the same location, Augusta National Golf
Club, a private golf club in the city of Augusta, Georgia.
The Masters was started by Clifford
Roberts and Bobby Jones, who designed Augusta National with course
architect Alister MacKenzie.

Hot Golf Tip
Each golf tip will teach you to
putt, drive, chip, hit fairways, bunkers, or tough shots - whatever
you want your club to do to your ball!
Drive for show, putt for dough. It's
that simple. Well, not
really, but we'll get to that in a few issues! Most of us get
our
practice in on the 18 holes we play. And that's fine. A driving
range is good for measuring distance, and is beneficial. But
how
much time and effort do we really have?
Let's face it, practice is on the 18 holes we play. Bottom line.
And that's OK!
For a crude, but effective method of gaining the correct
backstroke, lay a two by four down on the ground. Place the
ball 2
inches from the two by four. Take your putter, and place the
inside head against the two by four. A good putting stroke will
keep the head of the putter alongside the two by four during
your
back swing, and during your downswing. Get the feel of it.
That's
how your stroke should feel!
