45-54 - Green jacket
35-44 - Sunday contender
25-34 - Amateur status
11-24 - Back to the range
0-10 - Go fishing
 
44 points - Sunday Contender (missed Green Jacket by 1 lousy point)
 
Geeez, I suck. 11 points. Back to the Range.
 
I started off so well: five of the first eight. Then I got #18 right.
 
32 points
 
32 here.
 
36- In all fairness, I read a very, very good book on the Masters during my honeymoon and remember a lot of the history.
 
24 points maybe that's not all that bad for someone who didn't pick up a club until 5 years back and didn't watch a Master's until 2006
