The grill guys: Rumor has it there was a 3-foot flame coming off the grill the previous night, but Chris Anderson and Mike Read, The Toro Co., got that situation under control. Thanks for the food, guys! (Photo: Golfdom staff)
Remember Matt, from 19th Hole?: Sure we do, he was just in the December issue! Jones joins Erwin McKone, CGCS, Simplot; Bill Meyer, CGCS, Heritage Oaks GC; Matt McDonald, Water’s Edge GC; and Cummins for a quick Masters memory. (Photo: Golfdom staff)

Some E-Z-Go(ing) guys: Some familiar faces in Augusta: Bob Doria, Medford Village CC; Jones; Donovan Maguigan, Springdale GC; Leo DiGisi, Medford Village CC; and Jeff Haas, E-Z-Go. Jones still owes Maguigan and Haas for letting him crash at their rental house at the 2024 Masters! (Photo: Golfdom staff)
The KC Three on No. 13: Jones’ own tradition: taking a photo with his travel partners at the picturesque No. 13 green. Jones was joined this year by Cummins and Hollister. (Photo: Golfdom staff)
All is Rosey: We didn’t see a ton of golfers on Tuesday, but the first golfer we ran into was Rory McIlroy, shortly followed by Justin Rose. (Photo: Golfdom staff)
