Masters 2024

Nellie Korda is the hottest player on the planet.   She is long enough to break par over 4 days.

Never mind.

If Scottie putts, he wins.   My heart wants Rory to finish his story.

[Uncle Rico]

Hopefully, Koepka doesn’t cheat again this year.

I hope for the best from Tiger. Truly enjoyed his career thus far. But I have to ask why he is still out there? I just read Begay's comments of Tiger's health and it sounds like he's a mess: "Begay said "He's got zero mobility in that left ankle and really has low-back challenges now""

[tower912]

He is a past champion and Tiger Woods.  He has earned the right.  I think he has a slightly better chance than Couples, Vijay, Weir, etc.   Not zero, but I will definitely leave the Tiger wagering to Herman.

Rory has to be ready to play. He's been great on the weekends the past couple of years, but nearly impossible to win when you're making the cut on the number. Unfortunately, I just don't have much confidence in him anymore.

I hope Reed misses the cut. It has been fantastic not seeing him play anymore. LIV does have some positives.

I like Hideki this week for green jacket #2.

Please, don't misunderstand my question. Woods has every right to be there. I was only questioning his decision to play. And really to play any competitive golf. I'm good with him playing every year until he's 100 years old and scoring 70 on the front nine.

My heart wants Rory to finish his story.

His story finished before he turns 35? Depressing.

[tower912]

Sigh.  It is a reference to the WWE.   To make it more clear, I would like him to complete the slam.

Jordan wins his fourth (seems like) Masters.

Just wait till all the other golfers wilt from being intimidated by Tiger. He'll win by 9. Or so says 9-9-9.

The divide in golf has even creeped into my excitement for The Masters. I have watched less golf this year than any other year in my life. Watched Live from The Masters last night and got me going a bit, but I really need a great Masters to get my excitement back. There is very little that I like about pro golf at the moment, and I really hope to shake out of this funk. Aside from MU basketball, golf is second on my list of favorite things to do and watch.

With you on this.  My golf group was texting about when to play this weekend and I told them good with any time.  Don’t care if it cuts into Masters TV time, to be frank. 

I’m sure it’ll be a compelling event.  It almost always is and the ratings will be like they always are.  As for the guys playing, outside an unlikely Tiger run, not sure any one current player will make me want to watch.  Maybe Spieth or Rory, but outside that, eh.

Am excited to see if Nelly can win a 5th straight start at Chevron next weekend, however

If I were not a golf snob, I likely would play this weekend and miss some of The Masters. I am not an early year or late year golfer and that will keep me in front of the TV.

Yep.  I no longer watch men's golf and was a huge fan.

I'm betting on the LIV mullet this year.  Love his game and its well suited for Augusta

[Herman Cain]

Enjoyed the day today at Augusta National. Was able to see a few holes of Tiger, Freddy and JT. Tiger was hitting the ball well, however he was visibly in a lot of pain. A lot would have to go right for him to be in contention down the stretch. If the weather is warm anything is possible.

Scheffler looked great on the holes I watched him play, the driving range and putting. Seems to be ready for a good tournament.

Watched Brooks Koepka quite a bit as well. Was very impressed with his putting drills. Fun to see him going through his repetitive putting motion.

Matsuyama looked very confident in everything he did.

Spieth looked very unconfident.

Morikowa looks fantastic on the practice. Was having a lot of problems putting though.  Hopefully can figure it out by the time the tournament starts.

Tom Watson was out on the range and was in great form for a guy his age. Will be one of the starters.

Lots of older major winners who hadn't the Masters were hanging out under the Big Oak Tree by the Clubhouse . Was kind of cool to see Annika Sorenstam as well.

How much did they charge for a dead person to attend, 9-9-9?

I’m caddying for Scottie today at the Par-3 contest.  He asked me at the champions dinner last night.  Should be fun
