The world’s best teed off at Augusta National this morning. The golfers did, too. 9 members of The Herd joined YHC for a 9-hole mosey this AM. We turned the Howard Park parking lot into the front 9 of Augusta National. The longer the hole, the longer we ran and the more work was done. The Herd’s Masters knowledge was also tested. It was a good morning in the Jumanji gloom.
Conditions: 45 degrees
