Kolek planning to go pro
Tiger has this wrapped up. In the final group . Will shoot 68 tomorrow and grind out the victory .
Get up early tomorrow. They are going to endeavor to be done by 4 EDT. Threesomes, split tees, early tee times.
I caddied for Phil at the 1999 Western Open Pro Am, and can confirm I did not get stiffed.
Planning on getting to Augusta tomorrow at 5:00am.
I was there with my boy today, our first time. We had our chairs in the front row on 16. It was nuts when Tiger made his birdie
I know this isn’t necessarily the thread for it, but I’d be curious if anyone else had either good caddy stories. I caddied at St. Charles Country Club from 13 through my senior year at MU. Best job I’ve ever had. Phil was biggest name I ever caddied for. Phil talked to Bones far more than me during that round, but experience of a lifetime otherwise. I was on a bag in a foursome with Hal Sutton, and other rounds with Tony Jacklin, Ray Floyd, and Billy Casper. Non tour pros Gene Keady, Dale Tallon, Howard Sudberry. I regularly caddied for Jim Skinner (and his wife Kathy) before he became CEO at McDonalds. Great sense of humor and always tipped very well.
that's awesome! the lambeau field of golf! i hate the term "bucket list" but augusta is on my top 5
Good for you and son. I took mine some years ago and both of us talk about it each year the Masters is on, seems like yesterday. Always remember how hilly it was, not one weed or piece of clover, even in rough, and how well treated by the staff there. Spent lots of money at merchandise tent, lots.....

@darrenrovell Yesterday at 21:02$1,190,000: What one bettor would win if Tiger wins tomorrow. Bettor placed an $85,000 bet at 14/1 at a William Hill sportsbook in Nevada on Tuesday. It represents the greatest single bet golf liability in the US operator’s history. Tiger now 3/1 at all of William Hill books.Tiger Woods Has Bookmakers Sweating After Third Round of Mastershttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-04-13/tiger-woods-has-bookmakers-sweating-after-third-round-of-masters Former world No. 1 is seeking his 15th major tournament title One bettor is hoping for a $1.2 million payday on SundayBefore the tournament began on Thursday, Paddy Power discussed which seven players posed the most danger for the people running golf books. Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy was top of the pile but is now out of contention, and Woods was ranked the fourth-biggest potential liability.“If the Woods-meister starts shooting the lights out everyone will want a piece of the action and that could mean carnage,” the Dublin-based betting company said. “We’ll be diving for cover if Woods starts to put on a Masters-class.”------------------We had threads on this before. Bookmaking is such an ultra-competitive tight margin business (meaning it is not that profitable anymore) that the days of just balancing the books and diving the money are long gone. Now the bookmakers have to take one side of the bet. Seems like the public likes betting on Tiger and the bookmakers were all too happy to take the other side.
Decent amount of golf to be played. But this looks like Molinari will win. He's been Rock solid with scrambling. Would need someone to go really low to catch him.
Never ever ever ever (did I say ever) predict a winner on the front nine unless they have a 10 shot lead.Tiger now one back on 8. Molinari stopped being rock solid the second you hit "post" as he cannot hit a fairway or green anymore.
