Easter Sunday greetings from the Media Centre at Augusta National.

As we wait in anticipation at the fitting of the green jacket to the 2012 Masters champion there has already been good news for some lucky journalists in the now annual draw to play the course Monday.

Among the some 40 chosen to play Augusta National is BBC Radio’s Iain Carter and the Australian duo of Martin Blake and Jim Tucker.

I had the pleasure of having dinner with Martin last night where we could not help ourselves and visited the local Outback Steakhouse.

Martin and myself shared a nice bottle of Jacob’s Creek Shiraz and he’s celebrating today in learning he’s playing the course in the morning from forward tees but to pins that the players are facing today.

Naturally, The Age correspondent is delighted. 

Martin’s only concern is finding a set a clubs and the wish he breaks 100 – Good luck!
