Contest: The 1986 Masters, Where Were You?**
/**I'm moving the contest thread up to the top again just in case...
This one's simple: pen a post about your memories of watching the 1986 Masters on that epic event's 25th anniversary. It seems just about anyone in the game over the age of 32 remembers where they were when they watched or heard about Jack Nicklaus' sixth Masters win.
A few of the rigorous guidelines:
- Try to keep the posts under 500 words
- No fighting, gambling, bare feet and especially no swearing.
- Your words remain your property
- If you are a member of the media, please post your memories of that day, but you can't win a prize.
- Please post your email in the box a provided under your screen name. Aliases are fine, but you can't win if I can't email you your prize.
Ah, the prizes. A panel of esteemed three experts will select their favorite three entries Thursday and then you will get the chance to vote on your favorites Thursday through Sunday. The winner will be announced Monday, April 4, as the Masters kicks off.
First Prize: A copy of John Boyette's 1986 Masters, a DVD that any fan of the '86 Masters will love and, even though I know all of this website's readers already have one, a one-year subscription to Golf World.
Second and Third Prize: All of the above except Boyette's beautiful book, which they'll have to buy. (Boyette will be the subject of a Q&A later this week.)
So there you have it. Write away, don't be ashamed. This is about celebrating the greatest Masters ever and one of the iconic moments in the game that so often has people asking and certainly never forgetting where they were when Nicklaus won his sixth Masters.
