tnweathernut Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I really DON'T want this cold. 90+ hours below freezing with temps bottoming out below zero in some areas with an entire day in the single digits.......... and my customers pipes will be busting all over TN and VA when it warms up!

Carvers Gap Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 NOVA has Doomsday Volcanoes coming on @ 9:30. Think I saw this on DT's FB page. Anyway, I "think" it is about Iceland's volcanoes for which I don't have a font that will type the names. Just an FYI since it is a program discussing significant items which impact wx.

Carvers Gap Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 ugly LR. Warm and wet until the 300 hrs....then cold and mostly dry Like I said...wild run. Snow, ice, rain, thaw. Probably going to want those 50s after single digits. Wind chills will prob be below zero Mon night/ Tues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I do feel confident in saying the pattern prob won't stay dry. For the past year, it has been wet. A wet pattern with arctic air is like throwing a fastball to a big hitter. Won't always go over the fence...but chances are better than average. Way better than last two winters.

I actually got to go to a practice round several years ago and the place is AMAZING!!! If you have never been, it definitely needs to be added to your bucket list.

If you have never been, it definitely needs to be added to your bucket list. Interestingly, my neighbor qualified for the US Open and played in it a few years back. He worked the pro-shop during the Masters for many years. I would have never guessed it until we were out in the yard talking one evening. Evidently he can swing the driver. He loves Augusta. Never played in the Masters, but like you, enjoys the atmosphere and event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's dad has badges and we have gone the last two years...My dad used to have access back in the 70s and 80s so I have been many times and would go everytime if offered...it is truly unique and worth the trip even if you are not an avid golf fan. Even the beer and food is still cheap by today's standards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the beer and food is still cheap by today's standards! Great memories. I look forward to it every spring. Seems to be one of those events where someone actually has to play well to win. Very few have "backed" their way into wins there. I have never been fortunate enough to view it in person, but I always enjoy watching the back nine on Sunday. Though Saturday is pretty awesome on its own. Whether it be Jack or Tiger chipping in, El Pato taking a puff on a cigarette before a big shot, Lefty striking a wedge off the pine straw, or Bubba playing that crazy shot out of the woods...it's nice to hear these words, "A tradition unlike any other..."

Eric Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I still have my Masters badge from the Wednesday practice round in 1987. I remember being blown away not only by the beauty of the property but also by the steep topography of the course...especially the green at No. 9. Television does not do that place justice.

I am not ready for spring yet but seeing those images...one of the best sporting events of any sport IMO. Last year's winner Adam Scott was named the 2013 Player of the Year today over Tiger. He certainly has one of the most beautiful swings in golf and one of the best ones too. Agree as well!!! I actually got to go to a practice round several years ago and the place is AMAZING!!! If you have never been, it definitely needs to be added to your bucket list. Lucky! I'd give my right nut to go to Augusta. Heck I might give both nuts. It's definitely on my bucket list!

Jim Nance I remember this chip shot from yesterday and how near impossible it really was to make on 16. I think that thing is still hanging on the lip.

1234snow Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Forgot about Larry Mize's chip in, that was up there too on the greatest moments from Augusta. All this reminds me that the 2014 starts tonight from Hawaii as they start the 1st round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. I watch every year wishes I could be there instead of this freezing place. Also Alabama plays Oklahoma tonight. I think the Sooners will put up more of a fight then everyone else thinks.

Carvers Gap Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 1234snow...I should correct U.S. Senior Opens 2006 and 2011: He is one of the state's top amateurs. I hate to put his name on the net w/out his permission, but you can't miss "Kingsport" on the sectional qualifier list for St Ives Country Club (GA)....Take that person's name and take a look at the leaderboard for the second link.
