In what has quickly become a great kickoff to the Masters Tournament, today was the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals at Augusta National. Getting up on Sunday morning and watching these kids on the Golf Channel is so much fun, and I can only imagine that it is a dream come true for these kids and their families.
