Two hours into the first ball which was struck in rage in the ravenous final round of the 75th Masters Tournament, a spectacular mist crept through, coming from the Savannah River into the Augusta National on its renowned cat feet. The glimmer of early morning paved way for a fuzzy, annoying mottled gray luckily, the haze lasted for less than half an hour and was lifted up fortunately, and the green jacket came back in all its verdant glory. Watch Golf Masters 2011 and see for yourself if you can sport the color green in your outfit to.
That’s just one of the unique things that’s breath-taking at Augusta. The big, shimmering, verdant Green. Now why would the Masters choose the fecund green hue for their symbol of victory? Simply put, the old English word for the color is “grene”, which means to grow. It is widely used to designate color on the visible light spectrum seated between 492 nm (the edge of blue) all the way through and up to 577 nm which is yellow’s backside on the wavelength scale. It pictures out the fertile, the sick, the inexperienced and nature for the larger perspective. So, you think you too can don the Green jacket? But first, see for yourself and watch Golf Masters 2011.
Maybe not for those who have vertiphobia, funny, the fear of the color green then this would be the wrong place for you. Green feels like home here. The Queen of Green, it means go in the case of traffic lights, and for those who are fashion-chic, green is the new black of the season. Everywhere, other colors can’t compete with green, just look at the grass, the peapods, the green eyes of your British boyfriend, and the soothing sea foam. And what’s fascinating is that most players for the tournament is from Australia which is known as the Oz, which in other words was the Emerald City, which is also green. And so is money.
And if you’re up for trivia everything about the Masters has been assigned to complement or match the verdant hue. Including tickets, ropes, the Green Jacket, the souvenir cups, garbage bags, the observation stand, even the beer cups. And speaking of munchies, even the health sandwiches are wrapped in green paper, plus the photographic perches, the Spectator Guides, canopies, gutters, and most of all, the green bricks and fences.
It’s actually a spectacular sight that everything isn’t that vomit-green, but verdant, cool green, that’s always easy on the eyes and spirit too.
