Great Shot!

Ania did it again. She wowed the crowd with an awesome three point shot in basketball, just a short half an hour ago. The team went on to feel the pains of defeat, but in my eyes, Ania was the star.

Makes me think of a time last season....

Totality of the Experience

The "catch phrase" for all Masters' employees this week is "the totality of the experience." Whether you are working as a concessions cashier or as a washroom attendant, as a caddy or a crossing guard, it is our privilege to give our patrons a warm, genuine, southern hospitality experience.

I am a concessions cashier for the week. This is my first Masters' experience ever. I have never been a patron, but I have heard so many good things about this world famous tournament. Now I have the privilege to be a part of it.

As I served our patrons these past two days, I have heard wonderful remarks from them. One gentleman declared he was "in heaven" when I asked him how his day has been. One wife said to her husband, "we need to transplant this much friendliness up north" while another patron referred to "these people as a breath of fresh air."

They were speaking, of course, about the totality of their experience.

I have met patrons from Melbourne, Korea, Scotland, and Nova Scotia, as well as from all over our beautiful country, all remarking on the friendliness of the employees. There are first timers and veterans of the tournament. It is truly a world wide, world class game.

So, "welcome to the Masters. It will be my pleasure to serve you today!"

What's the Point?

I thought about calling my dad to tell him that his 13 year old granddaughter made a 3 point shot in basketball last night, and this is how my imaginary conversation went:

Me:  Hey Dad, Ania shot a 3 pointer yesterday.

Him:  What?  That's great, another good aim in the family.

Me:  Yeah, that's quite an achievement for 13.  I never shot a 3 pointer in my life.

Him:  You never shot an anything pointer in your life.

Me:  Wait just a minute.  I wasn't all that bad a shot.

Him:  You just needed to practice more.

Me:  Well that might be true.

Him:  Well, I've never shot a 12 pointer in my life, so don't feel bad.

Me:  A twelve pointer?  What are you talking about?

Him:  Deer!  What are you talking about?

Hmmmm......I think I better go make that phone call.
