Green Jacket Inspiration
The young, fresh-faced and awesomely-talented new US Masters Champion, Jordan Spieth (21) could well be the key to inspiring a new generation of golfers around the world. Millions of golf fans from more than 200 countries were glued to the television for the 79th edition of The Masters at Augusta National (9-12 April). And what an absolute golfing delight it was! Never a dull moment … intense, intriguing and truly inspiring. The Augusta National Golf Club certainly knows how to host and organise one of the most prestigious golf Majors on the calendar. And the knowledgeable BBC commentary team really know how to inform and entertain their viewers. The producers letting the drama simply unfold before your very eyes. Add to this April magic a few days of sunshine and the fragrance of freshly-mown fairways, then you have all the ingredients for a successful start to a great new golf season.
