The Masters not only signals the start of the golf season for many of us, but also seems to get writers’ juices going too. A toast (beer in a generic green paper cup will do just fine) to Dave Shedloski and Chris Millard for stirring the memories with their excellent reporting of that bright spring day 25 years ago in the March 21 issue of Golf World. Shedloski got way inside the ropes to recount several great lines between Jack and Jack II, including Jackie’s plea on 16 tee, as Jack’s 5 iron set a path to the pin: “Be the right club,” which was followed by Jack’s “It is.” I underlined at least five of Millard’s insights to Verne Lundquist’s own special day, but I think I like this one best: “Brevity. Experience. Expertise and a voice that can make a La-Z-Boy recline. It all came together that Sunday afternoon like pimento and cheese.” It also came together for two fine writer/reporters in a memorable issue.
