The Big Kahuna of Golf - Augusta, Ga.
Monday, April 7, 2008
By Will Durst


Will DurstYou want to get a feel for what it’s like in Augusta, Ga., the first full week of April? Imagine every Super Bowl being held in Green Bay, Wis. Doesn’t matter who’s in the game. Every year, Green Bay hosts football’s most prestigious game because of their connection to the history of the sport. And since the Super Bowl is only four decades old, now double the tradition. If you want to extend the analogy, try the same thing with the World Series and Cincinnati and the Stanley Cup and Montreal. But for golf: This is it. The Big Kahuna of the dimpled ball. And it happens in a place where the fans and the media and the players and the townspeople all rub shoulders in a town the size as Amarillo, Texas. At the equivalent of a third of the way through the season. Which admittedly, is weird. Of course, the weather in December is even more mercurial. To put it politely.
