Back Porch

Morning in Augusta

All right, folks. It's showtime.

Billy Mayfair and Ian Poulter kicked off the tournament this morning at 8
a.m., and they are quickly approaching the turn.

Ian would really like the jacket to match those pants, but I don't think it's going to happen.

No one is off to a blazing start, just yet. I promise to blog as often as
possible. But, as I mentioned earlier in the week, Augusta National strictly
prohibits the use of cell phones on the course, even for e-mail purposes.
So, I will pop into the clubhouse as much as possible.

Don't expect anything for a few hours, though. I'm working on a super-secret
special mission that will keep me under the radar for a while.

Let me know in your comments if there are specific things you would like to
know, and I will try to answer as many questions as I can.

Don't forget that you can watch live from Amen Corner at Masters.org

As for the superstars, Phil Mickelson tees off at 10:56 a.m., and Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh are at 1:52 and 2:03, respectively.

Think it's just a coincidence that Woods tees off in the third-to-last group, when the greens will be far from ideal?

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?

The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
