Track and Field and The Masters

Normally my weekend would be taken up by an out-of-town track meet.  Since the weather in the Midwest is so awful, our meets have been canceled.  That means more time for watching golf.


Here is the Sportscaster card that discussed The Masters.  Let's see how they describe the event and how that compares to today.  Of course Jack Nicklaus is shown on the card since he already had won the most green jackets as this point.  He won his last one in 1986.

Who is interviewing Nicklaus?  Maybe I will try to figure that out.



The card describes the history of the tournament well.  It also mentions that the winner value the green "blazer" more than the prize money that they receive for winning.   The 1980 winner earned $55,00 and the 2018 winner will take home 1.98 million dollars.

The text is definitely written so that those who are not golf fans get the idea that this is an important tournament.
