The Power Fade Golf Blog

The best week of the year is finally upon us. It’s Masters Week!!!! Tiger is playing well and–maybe not as well as last year, but–there is a lot to be excited about seeing the big cat get back at it. Lots of younger guys punched their tickets playing well. And lots of the veterans trying to figure out the slopes of the greatest golf course on the planet. Will Rory finally complete the career slam? Can Phil win one more before the Champions Tour? Will Kuchar pay his caddy enough? Will Bryson be allowed to putt with the flagstick? LOTS of great stories, as always. Here we go….
