A tradition like no other ****Official Masters Thread****
 

Anyone watching

Yep, I'll be watching when I can. Caught a little of the par 3 contest today. That's always fun to watch.

Going to master bate this weekend

wont get to watch until highlights or sat

I think it's pathetic that the PGA have allowed Saudi Arabia to hijack the proud sport of golf. The 2024 Masters jacket is the same colour as the Saudi flag FFS.

Why would anyone watch that pretentious garbage?

I’ll watch, just as I do every year. Not sure who pissed in the cheerios of the posters above but have fun missing a great tournament!

Pulling for Rory to finally get it done. But if he or Scotty don’t win, I think the jacket is going to stay on the LIV side.

My pops is actually attending for his first time ever. Stoked to hear all about it from him and get the merch order I’m making him bring back from the pro shop.

I’ll watch it this weekend, I’ve been pulling for Scotty lately, beautiful course I liked the Florida courses as well. My brother in law is going and looking forward to it.

The Masters is owned and run buy Augusta National Golf Course.

I believe the R&A lost some players to LIV too so it's just not the PGA.


I'll watch some tomorrow and Friday but I'll be driving for three days in a row so I won't catch it all live but I'll catch the replay. The Masters has always been my favorite tournament to watch.

I'm pretty sure it's on the radio.

The Masters is not operated by the PGA.

Yet another swing and miss by Wombe-Fail.

I'll have it on the XM while driving. If we get an early start leaving Memphis on Sunday morning I should be able to catch Sundays television broadcast.

Only golf event that is can’t miss TV for me. At least on Sunday.

And I for one wish they would take a stand and not invite those pussy faced Liv players.

LIV>PGAT as a product all day every day

Then they can stay there and play

I’d rather watch the best players in the world in the majors myself.

That's just it they don't play there.

I’ll never miss The Masters or the other major tournament formerly known as The British Open.

They have one of the best websites.

Someone should bring an air horn.

You know there will be someone that does something stupid this weekend

FYP

Honorary Opening tee's were Gary Player, Jack Nickulas and Tom Watson.

I agree. Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, DeChambeu are just a few of the names that make watching golf more enjoyable.

Is Tiger winning ?? Otherwise, don't care.

My son in law is there. Third time in 8 years. Have no idea how him and his brothers have been lucky enough to get tickets that many times. He said it is a good time and the Pimento Cheese Sammy is the bomb.

**** SOCCER! You gents enjoy your golf.

The Masters reminds me of this::D

Ryder Cup ...

My annual Masters ticket rejection letter is a tradition unlike any other.

He is not kidding....I have never been a real fan of a Pimento Cheese sandwich but the one time I did get to go to the Masters I did pig out on a few of those.

They are the bomb...that's a fact.

:clap:ROFL

LMAO

Can black people go to Augusta yet? How about women as long as they serve sandwiches?

Max Homa tearing it up this morning.

I really like the coverage. Different groups or parts of the course to watch. Rarely any commercials

You mean to tell me you dont think Patrick Cantlay or Brian Harmon isn't riveting TV?!

Yeah unfortunately they let some amateur woman event play there now. Woke bullshit! Bitches are to be seen and not heard. Or make pimento sandwiches

Anyone watching?

Tried to watch on ESPN+ and much like every other thing they do, it was terrible.

So now I'm sitting at my computer watching how it SHOULD be. No idea why The Masters can do something once a year better than a company that does it every single day.

No, but Bryson is. This one will be interesting if he stays in it and actually competes with Scheffler.

A little bit of info I learned today. They were talking about Tiger's left-handed shot yesterday. They then talked about Vijay Singh being a scratch golfer playing left-handed. That's pretty ridiculous.

I think you are doing sarcasm as Cantlay takes 6 hours to finish a round. There are a few of these guys who should be forced to ALWAYS go out last.

Tiger just made the cut. 24 straight years

It's gonna be awkward tomorrow evening when Dechambeau tries to go sit in Butler Cabin after his round thinking he won.

A buddy finally won tickets to practice rounds - of course he took them. The issue is that it boots him from the lottery for several years (I wouldn't know, I have never and will never be selected...)

****ing last few groups are taking 6 hours to finish a round. That ridiculous.

Max Homa is a very likeable guy and a good follow on twitter.

Scottie is just a goddamn terminator out there, the only hope these other guys have down the stretch is his ol' lady shitting out that baby early.

Scheffler's swing is so unorthodox. Jim Furyk and Tony Finau and Jon Rahm also have non traditional swings, Furyk the least.

I tried the Fred Couples/Jim Furyk "natural swing" and it never felt natural. It is easier on your body, but I struggled to square the head up at impact.

I say tried, but it was really about 5 range sessions and a few rounds.

However, when I went back to my original swing, I found that it was much easier to fix, because all the natural swinging had erased a couple of bad habits. Who knew?

Its not like I was fixing a bad slice/hook, or hard pull, but I went from mid 80s to shooting rounds in the high 70s.

My best round was a 76, but it was at Hoots Hollow at Country Creek, and I think everyone who plays there probably shoots a PR. It's a great course, but there just isn't a lot of trouble. Sure, it's has several holes over water, etc. but when I played, there were not a lot of trees, or other obstructions.

Still, you bet your ass I claim that score of 76.

Exactly. Bryson may be a dbag but at least he isn’t boring. Hes ****ing Paige Spiranic. Smokes the ball and does everything just a little bit different. You can be a villain and be boring...see Patrick Reed but that ain't Bryson.

If you want to feel good about yourself go to Painted Hills. It was actually a much improved track last year. But that place is so easy. I can shoot 60s there. Whenever Im in a funk I go play a round there or Sykes/OP.

Golf for most of us is practice, practice, practice.

I took up golf as a fluke to avoid going to afternoon classes in high school when we went on split sessions due to over crowding while another high school was being built. I had hit golf balls with my buddies at 12-14 years old but had never been on a course before other than sneaking on at night.

Two of my best friends from childhood at 7 years old are great golfers, both naturals. One rarely plays anymore for a variety of personal issues but the other still plays 3 days a week at nearly 62. He was always #1 or #2 on the varsity high school team and my other buddy was #3 or #4 until senior year he was #1.

Both have shot rounds in the high 60's and most often 70's.

I on the other hand sucked in high school. I was #7 on the JV team and didn't get serious until my early 20's. I shot high 80's to high 90's with 100-105 clunkers from time to time. My handicap was between 18-27

My first set of clubs were $79 Spalding Eagles with a cloth carry bag. I had a 3, 5, 7, 9 iron, PW, putter, driver 3 wood. That's it. Not even a sand wedge!

When I got into the game I got a complete set, practiced and lowered my handicap to a range of 12-16.

Then in my late 20', early 30's I really got into it and started to drive down my handicap and bought new, complete golf clubs of better quality. I was solidly around a 10.4-12.8. I joined a well known country club in New Jersey as a social member with 10 rounds a year there to play on a real quality course. It was called Shore Oaks in Farmingdale NJ but changed their name to Eagle Oaks. It's gone way upscale. Joe Pesci was a member I saw and spoke with as well as NY Giants Phil Simms and Bill Parcells.

Then I moved to San Fran and Silicon Valley California and could play 12 months a year. I played 3 days a week at a minimum of 40 different courses all over the Bay Area. Between practice and three days a week playing, I got to my lowest handicap ever at 7.8 and was never in the 90's anymore, mostly 78-86

My best round was a 74 from the back tees at a golf course in NJ called Woodlake. Not an easy course.

I've had some under par nines but never a complete round.

Fast forward to Arizona and I haven't played a single round in 5-6 years for health reasons and think I would be a 30-35 handicap at best.

Hoping like hell I can get back to playing at least one day a week by the end of this year.

This current coverage from ESPN BLOWS DONKEY DICK! Waste of time.

I stopped watching it and went to work in my yard, get something productive done. I'll watch it later but not ESPN.

The Masters itself is who you should be blaming for any lack of coverage. They don't and have never allowed full TV coverage of this event until the mid-afternoon on CBS. The first hole of the final group won't even be shown live on TV today.

Sucks to see Tiger falling off. Just too much for his body to take. He just isn’t built like Michael Jordan, The Goat

Tiger already kept his record going for another year. Somebody should show you MJ's Wizards years.

I dont get why the masters has been so resistant.

These guys are really struggling today under pretty good conditions. Their distance control has been awful. Long, long and long.

Dudes, wind has stopped and temps are 10-15 degrees higher. That"s about a 1-2 club decrease needed.

Scheffler eagles.

The Scheffler Eagle and the DeChambeau birdie shots were great shots.

People complaining about Masters coverage have no idea about the history of its coverage. In the 80s and into the 90s, you saw almost no shots on the front nine at all. They expanded their coverage significantly in 2004, and have, by far, the least amount of commercial interruptions of any other tournament.

Gotta bet on Scheffler. He should be up by 5 right now. Burned so many edges.

I might be mistaken but I thought like 10-15 years ago they had it on commercial free for like 6 hours.

Was that an experiment or short term trial? :hmmm:

That was them saying, "**** you, we're Augusta," to the protests over lack of female membership.

He played quite poorly today by his standards (particularly with his irons) but still has the lead anyway. I’d imagine he’ll win.

announcers jinxing people on Amen corner


Someone just three putted on 13. Rimmed out 2x

woods-at the bottom of the group with not much to play

scores getting a little better today...except for Phil and Tiger

61 yr old Vijay Singh beating Woods

That long Saturday killed Woods. His back and leg are shot.

The one announcer said Thanks for the memories Tiger.

Wonder if he is contemplating giving up a lot of stuff.


Dont drive fast in the Hollywood Hills.

Dude speaking on 12-13 is a fact machine

Wind a non factor today.

An actual tiger could have shot better than Tiger.

41 year old Vijay was beating him too 20 years ago. His 2004 is one of the better golf seasons ever.

Exactly. I'm still floored they let it be in EAs game 15 or so years ago.
