Vertical View

In this episode of the Vertical View - TP and Chris finish their imaginary round at Augusta National by playing the back 9.  They carded a 13 over par (49) on the front 9 before stopping for lunch.  This episode picks up following their round after eating their traditional Masters style lunch!

We hope you enjoy the hole by hole descriptions (taken from the Masters spectator guide) as well as the play by play shot making of Chris W. (player) guided by his steady little caddie (TP).

As we enter the 2020 Masters week - We hope you enjoy the sites and sounds as we believe we would see them while playing the course.  Have fun, we certainly did!

In this episode of the Vertical View - Chris plays an imaginary round at the 2020 Masters.  During his round he and caddy, TP, give you a hole by hole view of the Augusta National Golf Club.  

The Masters is being played as the last major of the 2020 year and then back for the first major again for the 2021 season.

All hole descriptions are taken from the spectator guides given to the patrons upon arriving at The Masters.  All play by play of the imaginary round are straight out of Chris's imagination!

Hope you enjoy this 'real' episode of the Vertical View.
