Going Off The Grid: Golf Writers Opine On Masters Traditions, Memories

"Going Off The Grid" is a weekly survey of sports execs and personalities offering their thoughts on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, three golf writers take a trip down Magnolia Lane to talk all-things Masters.

  • Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner
    -- Favorite Masters moment was Tiger's '05 chip-in: "Not sure I've ever jumped higher or screamed louder."
  • SB Nation's Brendan Porath
    -- Thinks The Masters should require players to use a regulated tournament ball.
  • Golf Digest's Alex Myers 
    -- Had some incredible ping-pong battles with Jaime Diaz while covering his first Masters in '15. 
Going Off The Grid
 
 Favorite hole at Augusta National What would you serve at your champions dinner? Pimento cheese or egg salad? Will professional females ever compete at Augusta? Strangest place you'd wear your green jacket
Lavner
No. 15 -- the second shot is exquisite torture
Filet mignon and lobster. I'm a man of simple pleasures
Egg salad. No debate
Yes. "Ever" is a very long time
It would never come off, so the possibilities are endless

Porath
No. 15 is as fun as professional golf gets
A taco assortment
Pimento cheese. The entire concept of egg salad is offensive
I think the ANWA will be the only one
Kids' parent-teacher conferences. Power move
Myers
You mean other than 12?
Buffalo wings and pasta
Neither. Classic chicken for breakfast, lunch and dinner
I wouldn't bet on it
Picking up Chinese takeout
