I took full advantage of being on the grounds of Augusta National for the 2009 Masters Wednesday practice round.  While there isn’t as much golf to watch on Wednesday it provides a great opportunity to take pictures and video of the best golfers in the world on one of  Earth’s great courses.

I’m getting set to make my annual pilgrimage to Augusta for the 2009 Masters this week and figured I will actually head into this year’s first major with a few goals. Here is my list of Ten things I want to accomplish at The Masters.

10 – Have at least 1 Pimento Cheese sandwich. This will be easily accomplished.

9 – Take in some of the Par 3 Contest. Awesome little course and very real chance of seeing a hole in one.

8 – Watch players try to skip their shots across the pond and onto the green of #16 during Wednesday’s practice round. 

7 – Watch Spaniard Alvaro Quiros hit drivers on the practice range to get a first hand glimpse off his much talked about power. 

6 – Shoot video of Fred Couples teeing of on #18. Great swing and great backdrop! Something I could put on a loop and sit and watch over and over.

5 – Secure the perfect spot for my chair on the hillside of the par 3, 16^th.

4 – Be at the first tee Thursday to witness Greg Norman’s return to Augusta.

3 – Be at the final green Friday to watch Fuzzy Zoeller hole out his last putt and say farewell to Augusta. (Sorry Fuzz, but I’m anticipating you missing the cut)

2 – Enjoy a beer while watching Tiger play through Amen Corner.

1 – Be part of an “Augusta Roar”
