It's that time of year again, the most wonderful sporting event of the year -- the Par Three Contest that is played before the Masts golf tournament officially starts tomorrow. This is where pros often have their children caddy for them (in full caddy regalia), or perhaps them hit a shot or two. As the littlest kids struggle to carry the bag, or get bored and do somersaults down the fairway. Or perhaps a player will have a celebrity friend be their caddy.
It's a joy, easygoing, and often a hoot. It's on right now and goes until 2 PM Los Angeles time, 5 PM in the East. Broadcast on ESPN.
