After a soggy Monday, Augusta National Golf Club looked as beautiful as ever Tuesday, as the 95 golfers participating in this year's Masters Tournament hit the course for the second practice round.

It's the last "serious" prep day for many of the golfers, as Wednesday things will turn a little more fun with the Par 3 contest.

The Par 3 contest will be airing on ESPN at noon Wednesday, as well as on Masters.com and the Masters app.

It's not an event anyone necessarily wants to win, as the winner of the Par 3 contest has never also won the Masters that year. Rickie Fowler won last year's and then finished tied for 30th.

It should be noted that many golfers don't take the event seriously, letting caddies, friends, spouses, and even kids take some of their shots. It makes for some memorable images, and a whole lot of fun

Here's a look at Tuesday's practice round, as we prepare for actual golf at The Masters.
