Masters 2024

[WhiteTrash]

30 mile winds forecast for tomorrow.

Bwahahahahaha.   Giddyup.

I enjoy watching the pros deal with wind. Favorite aspect of The Open Championship.

I've never been to Augusta but it appears to this TV viewer that the course is pretty well protected by trees that would mitigate the wind. True?

Sometimes the trees mitigate the wind, sometimes the wind mitigates the trees.

As long as the trees don't fall like they did last year.   Augusta places such a premium on the second shot because of the speed and undulations of the greens that 30 mile winds would have a larger impact than they do at the British Open.

Well, if that's true about the winds, eliminate 30-40 guys who are soft as charmin

[tower912]

 Trying to hit British Open approaches to ANGC greens is the stuff of nightmares.

[Lennys Tap]

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

I knew that. My post was a joke, guess you missed it. Nice homage to Chico, though!

    should revive the "journalists" no hat conspiracy.  if they only would have asked patrick himself why "no hat" instead of getting their news from the internet...oh, never mind...real "journalists" would have been wondering what rory's bac was when he and joe lacava went at it in the parking lot...classic dishes it out but can't take it.  he's still pissed at pga for lying to him while he missed out on some boo coo cash

other contenders-fitzpatrick, harman, d johnson, koepka

Like the "real journalists" who claimed inside information that Drew to Louisville was a done deal?

[DegenerateDish]

FWIW, I appreciated your reference and knew what you meant, well done.

once again, you guys have the attention span of hunter with his crack pipe and a russian prostitute.
 
      never said "done deal" and i never said i got the info from journalists, but nice try

9 out of 10

[tower912]

Conversely, this rain will soften the greens enough that the players will be able to make longer clubs stick.   High winds and soft conditions should be fun.

Speaking of the Masters, what is your favorite Greg Norman choke job of all time at Augusta?

Was it in '86 when he queefed his approach into the gallery on the 72nd hole and made bogey?

Was it in '87 when he played like a coward on the 2nd playoff hole assuming par would win leaving a 50' birdie putt instead of pressuring Larry Mize?

Was it in '89 when he missed the green short on the 72nd hole and bogeyed yet again to miss a playoff?

Was it '96 when he gagged a 6-shot lead on Sunday against Faldo who gutted him and proceeded to bury his soul?

Was it '99 when after tying for the lead on the 13th on Sunday, he backed it up with bogeys on 14 and 15?

The easy answer is '96, but '86 was a just as colossal.

[4everwarriors]

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

Chick-fil-a or 5 Guys, hey?

Stop picking on golf's all-time choker/a-hole.

[tower912]

Yes.  He is entitled to his feelings and it isn't nice to mock them.   A shame.  I like some of his clothes but will never buy any.

[MU82]

I apologize for limiting Greg Norman to being only golf's all-time choker, as he very well might be the biggest choker in sports history.

(Not counting Latrell Sprewell and Bobby Knight, of course.)

[tower912]

So far, the soft greens have been more important than the wind.

Jason Day's pants.   Just sayin'.

Jason Day's pants.   Just sayin'.

I'm thinking they're about 45 PSI.

[tower912]

They are a throwback.   To something.

Tiger looked great out there today. If he is anywhere near contention on back 9 Sunday, watch out.
