"The Masters is the most well-run sporting event in the world," proclaimed David Meeks in his presentation to the Better Sports Club. He especially enjoys watching the event from the gallery because, "You notice the power of the game--such incredible power and grace [which is hard to see on TV]. The athleticism of players is much stronger than 20 years ago." Click on the video below to hear who are the young players to watch.
