The Masters

Jim Nantz recently paid tribute to Dave Loggins, the composer of The Masters theme song “Augusta”, who passed away last summer.

It’s a sweet and sentimental tune, indelibly linked to the most staid, buttoned-up and tradition rich event in golf.

Ironically, Loggins’ cousin Kenny also wrote an iconic song indelibly linked to golf: “I’m Alright”, the theme song from “Caddyshack”….which, as far as golf goes, is about as diametric to the Masters as it can get.

Was his song on top gun the in essence theme song?
 
with the front nine complete, it's time for some golf humor....




....So there’s this guy who golfs with his buddies every weekend, and his wife keeps bugging him to take her along and teach her to play. He finally relents, and the following Sunday finds them on the first tee.

She’s never played, so he tells her to go down to the ladies tee, watch him drive, and then try to do like he did. She goes down to the reds and waits. The guy tees one up and hits a screaming line drive hook right at his wife’s head knocking her down and killing her.

At the hospital the police are there to investigate and the coroner says, “It’s the damnedest thing I ever saw. There’s an imprint on her temple, and you can read “Titleist 1.”

“That was my ball,” the guy said.

“What I don’t understand,” the coroner continued, “is we found another one up her ass that says “Titleist 3.”

“Oh,” the guy replied, “that was my mulligan.”

Wow.
 
And that putt sums up Rory’s Masters luck….ball sitting on the rim of the cup but won’t go in.
