Back in the pool yet again. Sure to be let down yet again. Pool is smaller this year again due to potential COVID rollover, so I won't be too downhearted.

I've also entered every year since it went online and never "won" tickets. I entered again this morning, 2 practice and 4 tournament days, haven't been in person since 1989. ☹️

I tried for ANWA tickets this year too, just to see Augusta again and show my bride, didn't get that either. But I will enter that lottery again this year too - applications start 6/8 IIRC.

The one redeeming quality about both is they don't make you wait months to find out, the disappointment comes within a few weeks (Jun 21 for Masters IIRC)...

If it makes you guys feel any better the rejection letter seems to always come within a week of my birthday.  So at least I have that going for me.

Making your application is kind of like standing on the first tee opening a brand new sleeve of golf balls.  So much promise. So much hope.  
 

Then reality strikes as it goes sailing past the white stakes. Yet we do it again anyway. 
 

Having gone a few times, the chance is worth the momentary disappointment.

I've improved the odds for those still in the game.  Much as I've always wanted to attend the event, my enthusiasm has waned.  I've been submitting applications for a long time. The combination of low odds of being selected and not being able to share the experience with my Dad has taken me out of the pool.  Good luck to everyone.

If you get tickets, where do you stay?

Many years ago, I was working at the Savannah River Nuclear Plant near Aiken, SC for two weeks... the week before the Masters and Masters week.  When I checked into the hotel, I had to sign the registration saying that I would be out of my room on Friday of my first week.  I had to drive back and forth to work starting Saturday, then through Masters week from my hotel in Columbia, SC.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

you hunt for a hotel about an hour away or pay exorbitant rates if you want to be closer.
