Well, let me tell ya ’bout this John Harris fella and that fancy golf place, Augusta National. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I heard some things.
Augusta National, that’s a big deal, I reckon. They got this big golf thing there every year, the Masters Tournament. Been goin’ on since way back when, 1934 they say. It’s one of them “major championships,” whatever that means. Big shots playin’, I guess. And they always play it on the same ol’ course, ain’t like them other tournaments.
- Big important golf game, they call it the Masters.
- Been happenin’ for a long, long time.
- Same place every year, Augusta National.
Now, this John Harris, he’s a golfer too. A pretty good one, seems like. They say he’s even a member at Augusta National. Not just any member, mind you, an “honorary member.” I ain’t sure what the difference is, but it sounds important. They let him play there, and that’s somethin’. He ain’t the only one though. That Jack Nicklaus fella, he’s a member too. Heard of him? Yeah, he’s a big name in golf.
John Harris, he plays in them Champions Tour events too. That’s for the older fellas, the ones who been playin’ a long time. I guess he ain’t young no more, but he can still swing that club, I betcha. He must be pretty darn good to be playin’ at Augusta and in them Champions Tour thingamajigs.
I heard someone talkin’ ’bout followin’ John Harris’ scores on somethin’ called *. Sounds fancy. They got them scores up there right quick, so you know if he’s doin’ good or bad. I ain’t got no computer myself, but my grandson, he’s always on that thing. Maybe he can show me sometime.
Augusta National, they call it the “holy grail” of golf. That’s a fancy way of sayin’ it’s the best, I reckon. Everybody wants to play there, but not everyone gets to. It’s a special place. They had a big to-do there this year, even with all this craziness goin’ on in the world. People were still excited about it, same as always. They were lookin’ forward to seein’ them golfers play, especially ol’ Jack Nicklaus, I bet.
Now, I heard tell that if you win that Masters Tournament, you get to be a member for life. That’s a pretty good deal, ain’t it? You get to play on that fancy course whenever you want, I suppose. And you get to rub elbows with all them other big shot golfers. It’s like bein’ in a special club, a secret society almost.
But you know, even if you ain’t a big shot golfer like John Harris or Jack Nicklaus, there might be other ways to play a fancy course like Augusta National. I heard there’s a place over in England that’s kinda similar. Maybe not exactly the same, but close enough. So, if you dreamin’ of playin’ on a course like that, maybe you can go over there and give it a try.
But as for John Harris, well, he’s made it to the top, ain’t he? Playing at Augusta National, playing in the big tournaments. He’s done well for himself. Seems like a nice enough fella, though I ain’t never met him. Just goes to show, if you work hard and you’re good at somethin’, you can go far. Even an old gal like me can appreciate that. Even if I don’t understand all them fancy golf terms and rules. Golf is golf, and winning is winning, that’s what I say.
So, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. John Harris, Augusta National, the Masters Tournament. It’s all a big deal in the golf world, that’s for sure. And if you’re lookin’ for golf scores, go to that * place, they got all the info you need. Or ask my grandson, he knows all about that computer stuff.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about golf has made me hungry. And maybe later, I’ll watch some of that golf on TV, if I can figure out which channel it’s on. It’s kinda peaceful, watchin’ them fellas hit them little white balls around. Even if I don’t understand half of what they’re doin’. It’s better than watchin’ that silly news, that’s for sure.
