On this episode, hear stories and insights on The Masters and Augusta National from 2011 US Senior Open Champion Olin Browne, Backspin Golf Host Matthew Laurance, and Broadcast Legend Ben Wright.

Olin Browne takes us on the course and explains the wind tunnel on Amen Corner and what it's like trying to figure out which club to hit on the 12th tee. We also hear about how intimidating the tee shot is on 18.

Matthew Laurance talks about how the reality of being at Augusta National far exceeds regardless of how high your expectations are. We also talk about how nervous any of us would be if we got that invitation to play the course.

Ben Wright takes us behind the camera for what it was like preparing to broadcast the tournament. We hear about legendary Executive Producer Frank Chirkinian, how Clifford Roberts summoned Mr. Wright to Butler Cabin to audition to see if he would allow him to be a part of CBS's broadcast team. We also get his thoughts on the chances this year for Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, and Jordan Spieth.
