Mastering Augusta National – The Winning Trends

As the naysayers may quip that “trends were meant to be broken”, these specific trends have actual relevance with regards to the recipe that it takes to have success at Augusta National and to win The Masters championship.

Every trend does not need to be predictive for it to hold some meaning and value.
