On his infamous March to the Sea, Sherman bypassed Augusta .
Legend has it that when he was stationed there some 20 years earlier, he fell in love with a young woman -- and thus spared the town... More > because of her.
There is also a legend that the reason the Men of the Masters are so imperious today is because the town was spared that deep wound. In a real sense, their forefathers ‘got away’ with one. Even the title of their tournament is a bit of a give-away: "The Masters". Minorities, woman and Jews are still an issue with these people, and everyone knows it. Luckily for them, their multicolored ‘Boy Wonder' shoots a great game -- and avoids the 'real' battlefront at every turn. But not this time. Not with this opponent.
They are all due their comeuppance -- And they are about to get it.
Keep your eye on the ball with this one... It's as wild a match as you will ever see!
"The past isn't dead, It isn't even past!"
