Teddy Greenstein: The Masters would have teed off this morning. Here are 11 vivid memories from the last 11 years at Augusta National.

A boring day at the Masters is like sushi at McDonald's _ it doesn't exist.

I remember thinking, "Not much going today," during the opening round in 2016. And then Ernie Els _ World Golf Hall of Famer Ernie Els _ six-putted the first green at Augusta National.

The place produces memories unlike any other.

This would have been Masters week, featuring a Champions Dinner menu selected by Tiger Woods. Instead we're settling for greatest-hits TV coverage, Kevin Na's Instagram feed and the promise of a one-of-a-kind fall Masters. Proposed dates: Nov. 12-15.

I've covered every Masters since 2009. Here are my 11 strongest memories from those 11 events, a mix of much-celebrated accomplishments and some inside-baseball stuff.
