Porky discusses the Masters' jackets, why they're important and why the color is significant.
Several years ago, the decision of the color of the jackets was left to a few of us masters — Joe Gobel, Harrell Champion and myself. The chosen color was green. We had eliminated red, as it was Doc Faison’s National Driller color. Blue was NGWA headquarters’ color. Gold was Century 21’s color. Green remained the only color, and especially because in golf, green jackets symbolize a master. This was the image we masters wished to present. Over the years, it has grown to be recognized by others in the ground water industry as representative of those in the know.
