Top of the Mountain: The Masters, Augusta, GAWritten by Andrew Kress
Top of Mountain: The Masters, Augusta, GAIf you’re a stockbroker, center of world is New York. If you are a commodities trader, it’s Chicago. But if you’re a golfer, center of world is…a little further south. “You actually feel it when you step onto course” says Brian Montgomery, who has been to every Masters for last decade. “It’s like being in an art museum or a history museum—and if you really live for golf, this isn’t just church, it’s St. Peters Cathedral on Christmas Eve.” For as those who have walked course will tell you, there is no place like Augusta. “It’s pristine, not like other tournaments, no paper, no advertising, just green everywhere and So perfect. I mean, you see it on TV, and you think, I could do that, then you see course and you think: “Par Four?!? FOUR?!? That’s like a…NINE. And these guys come out and do it in four and it’s just amazing.”

Safe Tailgating. There is a reason that at dinner time Dad was allowed to barbecue meat, but mom did everything else: Safety. Tailgating, in end is like day camping, and biggest risk isn’t burnt fingers, but bacteria. Slaws or cream based dishes can get warm, and Hot dished can get cold. Either situation can leave you watching game on a TV in local emergency room. Here are a few tips to keep you safer when you tailgate. • Keep foods hot (above 140°F) and cold (below 40°F), only things that should be at room temperature are non perishables like Chips or Pretzels, and even those should be sealed. • No Marinades. The are bacteria petri dishes. Be a man, bring a SEALED bottle of barbecue sauce. • Raw meat? Actually kind of dangerous. A good idea is to use separate coolers when you pack raw meat and ready-to-eat foods. Raw meat packages should placed in plastic ziplock bags for added safety. • Don't put ANYTHING on a plate where raw meat has been placed. Seems inconvenient, I know, but then so is a bout of Diarheeah when you’re 467 steps from nearest bathroom. • Paper towels and napkins. LOTS. • Refrigerate. Food left outside for more than an hour should be thrown away. In doubt? Toss it out!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
