The Masters: What Augusta Can Teach Job Seekers

As an avid fan of the game of golf and an average player myself, I love Masters weekend.  The Masters is the first major of the PGA golf season where the best players in the world come together to play for the green jacket.  Winning this tournament puts you into a class of players that includes the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Arnold Palmer, among many greats.  Part of the allure of the Masters is the course it is played on - Augusta National.  The course is as beautiful as it is challenging.  Unlike the other three major tournaments with different locations each year, Augusta National is the only course to hold the Masters.

On any given day, a sport management student - or anybody for that matter - could be subjected to dozens if not a hundred or so news stories. Just browsing the homepage of ESPN.com, there links on links on links to sift through and choose from. Of course, we all typically have a mental filter and some sort of end game that we are searching for.
