A Thursday at The Masters

I have so much I want to tell after this Thursday at The Masters, but I don't know how to explain it. How do you describe a course that is nothing but perfect? How can you tell about how it was to see the best golf players in the entire world live, standing only seven yards away from you?
Before we went there, I expected it to be a fun and cool day and, for some reason, I felt a little nervous right before. In there, after the security checked our bags to make sure we did not bring any electronics and after entering the club facility, an amazing day started.
I've heard that it is one thing to watch The Masters on TV, but that it is another thing to see it live. I've heard that the course and the greens look flat on TV but actually are very hilly and tricky in real life. I've heard that there's nothing like the Pimiento cheese sandwich together with a Coke at the cafeterias they have around the course. All of this was true and I am so grateful I got to go.
The Masters is something I know I'll watch every year for the rest of my life, but after being there and seeing it, I'm going to watch the competition on TV in a different way. I was so excited to see who Bubba Watson would hand over the green jacket to when the 77th year of The Masters came to an end on Sunday!
