It was the night before the 2025 Masters Tournament, and Nick Faldo and Ben Crenshaw sat on a back porch for a soiree typical for this time of year around here. Small, exclusive, deep-pocketed. A fireside chat between the two Masters winners was tabbed as the highlight of the evening.

One thing about golf that makes it hard to get into as a spectator is slow-play. The time some players take to carefully line up their shots can be grating.
