The Green Jacket

Listen here


You might not consider a green jacket to be among the most desirable fashion items.

Nevertheless, the world's best golfers will be trying to win a green jacket this weekend at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

In addition to receiving a couple hundred thousand dollars in prize money, the winner becomes an honorary member of the Augusta National Golf Club and receives a green jacket.

The winner gets to keep the green jacket for a year, then he returns it to the club to wear whenever he visits.

It is traditional for the winner of the previous year's tournament to present the jacket to the present winner.

Words

desirable: worth having or wanting (Random House Unabridged Dictionary).
