The golf we get to see at #TheMasters is only a fraction of the memorable moments in the course's history.

The craziest round of golf at Augusta National ever happened in 1983, and it featured Ronald Reagan, 7 hostages, and an early cell phone.

This is the wild story. It was October 22, 1983, and President Reagan was in Augusta, GA, for a bucket list round of golf. His Secretary of State was a member at the course and so some of the cabinet had traveled to Georgia for a day at the hallowed course.

Reagan teed off a little before noon.

3 weeks ago, Vincent Mejia worked 2 jobs, dreaming of becoming a pro @WWE wrestler.

The only problem? Mejia has Down syndrome, & nobody with Down syndrome has ever been a pro wrestler before.

Here's how @HulkHogan, an influencer, & @official_flo helped make a dream come true: Image The 25-year-old Mejia watched the @WWE religiously. He practiced moves. He came up with a nickname, Triple V.

He even had something worth fighting for: His sister became paralyzed after an accident, and the money could help his mom renovate the house to be accessible. Image
