Carl Spackler!!!!\n\nHe is THE greenskeeper extraordinaire portrayed by Bill Murray in "Caddyshack."\n\nThe word you are looking for is greenskeeper.  A "groundskeeper" can pertain to landscaping duties for a much wider range of clientele than golf courses (such as Groundskeeper Willie from "The Simpsons" - who takes care of school grounds).\n\n" ... and, it's in the hole!!!!"\n\n"... Cinderella story ... out of nowhere ... Masters champion."

I got this off of eatgolf.com, I think it answers your question sufficiently.\n\nDogg\n\nCBS Masters Theme Song   \nEverybody is looking forward to the Masters. Here is a little something to hold you over - an MP3 of the music they play during the tournament broadcast:\nMasters Music \n\nJust listening to that makes you look forward to this week. \n\nSome of you may not know but that song CBS uses during the telecast is actually just the instrumental version of a song written by Dave Loggins that was inspired by his trip to Augusta in 1980. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere are the lyrics: \n\n\n"Augusta" by Dave Loggins\nWell, it's springtime in the valley on Magnolia Lane\nIt's the Augusta National and the master of the game\nWho'll wear that green coat on Sunday afternoon?\nWho'll walk the 18th fairway singing this tune?\nAugusta, your dogwoods and pines\nThey play on my mind like a song\nAugusta, it's you that I love\nAnd it's you that I'll miss when I'm gone.\nIt's Watson, Byron Nelson, Demaret, Player and Snead\nIt's Amen Corner and it's Hogan's perfect swing\nIt's Sarazen's double eagle at the 15 in '35\nAnd the spirit of Clifford Roberts that keeps it alive\nAugusta, your dogwoods and pines\nThey play on my mind like a song\nAugusta, it's you that I love\nAnd it's you that I miss when I'm gone.\nIt's the legions of Arnie's Army and the Golden Bear's throngs\nAnd the wooden-shafted legend of Bobby Jones.\n\n\n You know who Dave Loggins is; he wrote that song "Please Come to Boston.." \n\n "Augusta" was re-released five or ten years ago by Don Cherry... I haven't heard it but it is song #25 on this album The Don Cherry Collection
