The Mythos of Augusta National
“It's just the way it looks on television. Like the last couple weeks you just watch them, it doesn't look great. I mean, last week, and I get they had weather, was just – I love golf. It was tough to watch. And that's why it pains me to know that they might leave Hawaii. It kind of pops on television.”
