"Eisenhower Tree" at Augusta...Gonzo

[Masterofreality]

The recent Georgia Ice Storm did it in.

Will be interesting to see what they do now to protect the 17th hole.

I blame George Bush's weather machine. And ATL Muskie.

I think Gerry Ford smacked too many Titleists into it over the years. It's been dying a slow death since 1975.

Bummer. Seriously. But I'd love to go see what they do about it in a practice round in the near future! When I lived in Hilton Head I always passed it up because I was too busy or too lazy. Friends went every year and I always had an excuse. Mistake! Live and learn. Memories beat gifts/stuff. Kind of like I wish I'd gone to Kentucky Derby or Indy 500 while I was at X. I had no interest in horses or cars, but you have to get that experience once. The Masters is a great event.

ATL Muskie is a great American.
He must be...he went to the same high school that I did.
OK, 25 years later, but still....
