Augusta Diary: Inside the ropes and the tour trucks at the Masters 

Everyone has heard about the green speed in Augusta but the amount of slope is a bigger factor, according to Mike Carroll, S&C coach to Augusta debutant Seamus Power. Here's his insights from the week.

MONDAY

A huge sense of awe as you enter the course and get to appreciate the vastness of the grounds. It almost feels like the set for a movie as everything is picture-perfect. Immediately you start spotting familiar holes and walking over for a closer look. Seamus Power played the back 9 with Billy Horschel at 9.30 am and played the front nine with Rory, Harrington, and Lowry at 12pm. The weather was perfect and the fourball drew a sizable crowd. Harrington and Rory beat Seamus and Lowry 1up in the 9 hole match. Seamus did the first of his three gym sessions Monday evening in the great gym at nearby Augusta Country Club.
