It's time for The Masters
The Masters golf tournament begins today and, as Brian Wacker reports, the tournament is -- as usual -- a tough ticket:
As I write this, the going rate for two badges to the second, third and fourth rounds of this year's Masters is $4,999.99 on eBay. In case you were wondering, shipping is free. Conversely, for $1,200, you can get two Trophy Club packages for the entire week at this year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot.
The following provides a good primer for the weekend:
Phil Richards of The Indianapolis Star provides this fine article on golf's most exclusive dinner -- The Masters Champions Dinner.Brian Wacker's analysis of who's hot and who's not;
The current thinking in Las Vegas;
Gary Van Sickle's handicapping of -- and observations about -- the Masters field;
Who Golf World's Masters Performance Index model predicts will win; and
Previous posts over the past couple of years on The Masters, including a good dose of Clear Thinkers favorite Dan Jenkins.

Anyone else think it's very silly in this century that we can't watch it on TV until the last couple of hours of each day?
It's a bit like this very pertinent summary of the recent Winter Olympics
