Held every year at Tammy’s Diner and Nail Emporium off I-20 in Augusta, the Tuesday Night Losers Dinner looks like a convention of men whose dogs just got run over.
Brock Random Thoughts: On The Masters
This week is Masters Week. The first major of the year in men s golf. The Masters signifies the start of spring (along with baseball s Opening Day) in the United States. And it s got as much, if not more history, than the other three majors (PGA Championship, U.S. Open, British Open) combined.
The first time I watched the Masters on TV was 1981 with my Dad. And my all-time favorite golfer, Tom Watson (I said my favorite, not the best golfer) won the second of his two Green Jackets that year. And I fell in love with it.
Major champion Popov overlooked for exemption to LPGA finale Follow Us
Question of the Day By DOUG FERGUSON - Associated Press - Tuesday, December 15, 2020
Sophia Popov not playing the ANA Inspiration after her Women’s British Open victory was understandable. The ANA Inspiration was postponed until September because of the pandemic and, just like the Masters, decided to leave the field as if it were played the first week in April.
More curious is Popov, one of the more celebrated stories in women’s golf this year, not playing this week in the CME Group Tour Championship.
By the book, she didn’t qualify. The LPGA Tour only awards Race to CME Globe points to members, and Popov wasn’t eligible to be a full member until after her victory at Royal Troon.
