MASTERS HISTORY
Like many major championships @TheMasters wouldn’t be the great tournament that it is without the volunteers.
Every year, I am lucky enough to board up for Masters week in a house owned by Golf Course Superintendents. During the ANWA they wake up at 3:30AM to get ready to mow the fairways of ANGC, to wisp the sand off greens, to make a magical place even more magical.
My favorite stories they tell, are the ones about their first time on that crew. They are all deadly afraid they are going to scalp a green or miss their mowing line.
They are the silent volunteer heroes that wake up early to make sure the scene is set for that day’s drama. They put in 12-15 hour days and come back to the house with the biggest smiles on their faces. A special thanks to the heirs of Old Tom Morris - the golf course superintendents!!!

Incoming President Paul Carter, CGCS, is the man for the job…He took me up on my challenge to celebrate the @GCSAA Centennial by launching ourselves into the next 100 years at the #GCSAAConference Centennial Celebration.
