Day 9, April 4 2012

After a restless night thinking about the next day, we finally arrived in Augusta. We both enjoyed mingling with the masses watching some of the worlds greatest golfers get in some practice time before the annual par 3 tournament. As would have been expected, the course was in great shape except for some overnight winds and heavy downpours. Rae's creek ran over and flooded the low area around the 12th. A tree came crashing down on one of the service buildings but by opening time, the fairways and greens looked great. We walked around the course starting with 18.

The 12th hole with the aftermath of the flooding. It won't be there tomorrow.
