Well That Sure Was a Good Idea

I know that bloggers in general tend to hate on ESPN, some of it warranted, some of it because there really isn't anyone else to make fun of (name a friend that watches Fox Sports, really).

With ESPN hosting the first two rounds of The Masters this year, a few people, me included, were worried the WWL would end up throwing up on the beautiful white dress that is Masters coverage.

It appears they have decided to go the other way, with a great decision to televise the par-3 tournament on Wednesday at Augusta.

People that are richer than I that have attended the Masters have told me that some of the best parts of the week are the practice rounds and the par-3 tournament on Wednesday. You get to see a lot of the golfers, that normally show the personality of a coffee table, show emotion, laugh a little, and even play that "try to win without winning because nobody has ever won the Masters after having won the par-3 tournament" game.

Anyway, kudos to ESPN for this decision. Any golf fan worth their weight in tees will be tuning in or DVR-ing this thing.

(It must be a leaf-turning day here at DTCC. I just congratulated ESPN and showed a picture that puts Mickelson in a good light. Hey, it is Sunday.)
