No Masters Tournament Tickets for 2017 for Me

Looks like no tickets to the 2017 Masters Tournament for me. I received this e-mail this morning letting me know that my name was not chosen in the ticket lottery:

2017 Masters Daily Tournament Tickets Random Selection

We have completed the random selection process for 2017 Daily Tournament tickets and regret to inform you that your application was not selected for tickets.

I can only hope to be selected for some practice round tickets.

Guy Getting Hit In Face With Driver

So you’ve seen it done before, someone teeing up a ball in their teeth and a friend hitting the ball with a driver, and you think “What an idiot”.

Now we have our proof of why this is not a good idea.

The video is playing in slow motion, so I am guessing it wasn’t a full power swing but I am sure it still stung. I am also pretty sure that the National Dentist Association does not recommend this sort of activity.
