Be clutch every time.
Thank you for joining me here for this week's edition ofThe Opening Tee
Shot.
You might notice this week's newsletter looks a little different (and shorter) than our usual ones because frankly, it's Masters week and we have coverage to watch!
This is truly one of my favorite weeks of the year. Living here in Augusta makes this time even more special because this town rolls out the red carpet for the patrons and many visitors. The flowers are in full bloom, the weather is gorgeous, and who can be in a bad mood when the best golf of the year takes place right down the road?
My favorite storyline this week
This year's Masters is even more special to our family because we get to see Mason Howell, the reigning U.S. Amateur Champion, join the greatest in golf.
For those of you who are new to the Junior Golf Playbook family, Mason and our son
Hamilton are part of the Class of 2026 and both committed to play golf at the University of Georgia in the fall. They'll be teammates and roommates — it's hard to believe Mason's playing in the Masters and he hasn't even graduated high school yet!
Mason and Hamilton have played in junior golf tournaments together for
years. It's so exciting to see someone you've watched grow go on to compete on the biggest stage. We wish Mason the best and can't wait to watch all the stories that unfold here in Augusta this week. 🌸
Make sure you come back next week as we return to more junior golf content. Until then, you know where to find
us!
