Three years ago my son made the Regional Finals for Drive Chip and Putt. We got to drive 9 hours to watch him hit 9 shots. I told him that if he got me to Augusta, I would get a Masters tattoo. He played well but came in third.
Two years ago he made the Regional Finals again, we were happy for only a 2 hour drive to Whistling Straits. He asked if the deal was still on, of course my answer was yes.
He got it done, so last year we had the trip of a lifetime to Augusta National for the DCP National Finals. And about a month before the trip, I got my first (and so far only) ink, as seen in my avatar. (I told him if he makes a college golf team, perhaps I’ll get a second tattoo with the school logo.)
For those who have never been, Augusta National is even better than expected. I should be there next year for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur final round, if it happens with fans. Can’t wait to get on the property again…
