My number finally came up this year having been drawn in the annual Masters’ Lottery.
I received the notification as my family and I drove down a mountain near Estes Park, CO, in July 2025 and – quite frankly – have been nervously excited about the experience ever since.
When I registered for the aforementioned lottery, I selected every possible session (Augusta National Women’s Amateur, three Masters‘ practice days, and all four competition days) and when I learned I’d been selected for Wednesday, well, I attended Wednesday.
This bonus Conversation is just my dad and I (my friend Wayne and his father also attended) briefly discussing what it was like to be there as Event No. 51 of my Around the World in 80 Sporting Events project. (Spoiler: It did not suck!)
