As you are looking back toward the tee box from the green, the slope on right bank is typically full of patrons having fun and yelling "skip, skip" to the players so they will make the attempt during the practice rounds (after their first real shot). I've spent much of a day watching approach shots on 15 (a par 5 that is reachable in 2 over the water), watching third shots into the green for those who didn't go for it, watching green play on 15, plus all the real action and skip shots on 16. That grandstand corner is one of my favorite places on the entire course. It's also right next to the Sarazen bridge, where almost all players will pass right next to you. That bridge is named after Sarazen's double eagle, which led to his Masters' win. "The Shot Heard 'Round the World".

Clints should be clean and hairy anyway IMHGeneration'sO, so no specific bells here.

I wish I would have seen this 30 years ago.

I worked in a museum that had old buildings in it. For safety reasons, the buildings with a 2nd floor has the stairs roped off. There were no pieces set out up there, so there was nothing to see. But you would always get people that would ask "what's upstairs?"

The first 7.5 hours of each day you would tell them "nothing", or "Storage for exhibits not put out". Sometimes you would tell them they are in a 200 year old house, and ask "do you really want to walk up there?". But half-hour before the museum would close, we would give out 4:30 interpretation.

• "Nothing. People were shorter back then, and were too short to climb the stairs"
• "This is a ghost house. Those stairs dont exist. Anyone that walks them has never been heard from again."
• "I dont know. They only have rubber grippers for the first 2 steps" (There to elevate the docent a couple steps above a tour group).

...but yeah, to say "Don't ask the stairs whass-up. they can't talk" would have been classic.

also, don't ever trust a college student making minimum wage to tell you the truth in a museum. They may just be tired, bored, teenagers. Just because they are in a uniform doesn't change the underpaid , tired and bored parts, but people will believe anything if it comes from someone they think they can trust.

Yep, Fred Gwynne in "Pet Sematary" if I'm not mistaken
