Colin Morikawa, who has been injured, played really well, and maybe he's beginning to get that understanding of the nuance of the golf course.

But back to our day.

So you've done this drive with me.

Mm-hmm.

The radius of the Masters and Augusta National continues to grow.

You have all these little retreats for golf that are just really packed for two weeks out of the year.

And where we are down in the low country in the Beaufort Bluff Denarii is about two hours and 20 minutes to Augusta.

And with all the parking that they've created, you can feel pretty confident that by the time you get there, you don't have to be there for gate crashing unless you're trying to get a gnome, which I really don't.

think there needs to be we have gnomes we have the mini gnome so apparently there's a full-size gnome that they sell out of in the first 20 minutes and then i'm sure jolene has 10 gnomes i'm sure she does but it's just this awkward thing where you have these these grown adults who are walking around you know eyeing each other up and down to see if they have a gnome the peacocking of the gnome as everyone else is watching to see what logos you're wearing but no this uh it it now is a very quiet

And it was great for us to take that moment to ourselves.

We have big birthdays coming up.

The boys were happy and safe with their grandparents.

We got there and just to see the course, the experience through her eyes.

And I've now been there a few times.

So I sort of, I knew how to make the most out of it.

We made sure that we went to,

the founder circle so that we could get the the photo together in front of the clubhouse in the distance and of course we immediately lost the little qr code that lets you get it later but you know what liz had a lot of time on the way home to uh write a very thoughtful email to the uh to the group running the photos and they by the next morning they had it and to take her down through the second nine go stop at amen corner we're able to run into a friend of ours

And just for her to look at the course and all the slopes, particularly around some of these greens that not a lot of people focus on.

So 17, 14.

And for us, you see over the weekend, those same spots where you were always end up being in play.
