  1. It would be interesting to see the course in the fall, or even a few weeks before the Masters; because the aim at getting into prime shape for this week. Pretty sure the azaleas are kept in greenhouses, conditioned to bloom this week and transplanted to the course for the players/guests/TV audience enjoyment. No telling what else is done to make for prime time viewing. Not that I would ever get an invite during one of those times; hell I can't get an invite to be part of the general public. Now that I think about it, they treat me like I am Greg Norman & what did I ever do to them?
  2. bravo - and to add to your point I have 1 word to add Jim Furyk
  3. I have 2 thoughts as I've watched some early play today a) Watching Jordan is almost painful, seeing him miss the green on 15 with a wedge in his hand makes me wonder where the magic has gone. His short game and dropping bombs on the putting green was amazing. He seems like he is a high level grinder now. Sure help he can find the spark again (but I'm not hopeful) b) I have to remember to watch Freddie today, because I am not sure how much longer he will play here. And from my days as a young adult, I've loved to watch that swing. He is about my age, and I have enjoyed his career (and that he was the king of the skins game, winning more than $4.4m in skins)
  4. 13 & 15 pins are in about as safe a spot as you can get, 12 who knows - yesterday shows how hard that hole can be with wind, 11 pushed all the way back and away from the pond (there is no place to make 11 a "gettable" location Gotta love the green complex at AGNC, really challenges the best players
  5. Intra-day rollercoaster is dizzying, I need to back away from looking & thinking I should do something. And yet that isn't a comfortable feeling either. Fuck me
  6. If you want to donate your dollar eclipse glasses, Astronauts without borders has collection partners. https://astronomerswithoutborders.org/programs/solar-glasses-distribution
  7. Homa short of the bunker in front of 12, and it stays dry 😳
  8. it has to go up some of the time to qualify as a rollercoaster
  9. And Steven Hawking, cheating on his wife with his nurse? Saying physics shit that only 10 +\- people on the planet could understand? - oh crap, google tells me that Hawking was a 1 time guest on Epstein Island, I give him mad props if he went (was taken) there to have a sex weekend And why is the queen mum on the collage twice, again maybe they are different people and I can't differentiate white haired white royalty
  10. Both?
  11. RIckie threw that chance away yesterday, with the Par 3 jinx - nobody who has won the Par 3 has gone on to win the Green Jacket in that year. No way Rickie is going to have the mojo to break that kind of voodoo. All that being said, I am okay if they get some good shots of Mrs Fowler
  12. How has this not been posted yet. Only tour event that we know what it means when AGNC pin placements are posted 13 & 15 balls will be in the water, 11 in the front is a tough pin/chip from the bail out area
  13. Thoughts and prayers to his family but I've had him on my list for a number of years - patience pays off with 24 points on the real killer of Nicole and Ron
  14. not sure if you can still sign up
  15. I have to say that the Masters has the best traditions with the Champions dinner and the honorary starters. I wonder who will fill the spots for Gary & Jack when they can't hit a tee shot anymore - they are more than past champions, they are icons Gary (88) stripes one, hope I am still swinging a club at his age Jack (84) looks like he can barely walk, putting the ball on a tee is accomplishment, but he finds the fairway (which is pretty wide at 150 yards off the tee Tom (74) is a youngster in this threesome, hell he almost won the British only 15 years ago
  16. No favors done for Tiger by making him late (now 3:54)/early (10:18) tee times - he will likely have to play about 27 on Friday, depending on how slow play is around a wet track today. Hopefully all the money spend on drainage will pay off today and they get most of the round in today (footnote - sunset in Augusta today is 7:56 - they are not going to play 3 hour rounds)
  17. No wonder they won't let me win the ticket lotto - they must know that they'd have to throw me out for yelling choker at the Patrons, well at 1 Patron anyway. tldr: fuck that guy
  18. Yes - the link is to the Masters site, it will take you to their pickem, and the Surly group I created. I am currently in first place (and last place)
  19. Is there a secret squirril version of this story, where the wife and hotshot TED talker show you their appreciation of the great brisket? Asking for a friend
  20. One guys analysis, that I saw linked on anther site (so I'm "stealing" it) https://www.golfwrx.com/736980/the-22-players-who-can-win-the-masters-3/
  21. Gotta love Brooks response when asked if someone could shoot a 59 at AGNC this week I mean, now, anything’s attainable. But, yeah, if you want to go play the members tees and maybe play like 15 holes, yeah, I could do that. With the course record being 63, it’s somewhat unclear why the reporter thought a soft golf course would be enough to result in a score four shots better than the record
  22. CPI spikes in March - {insert prepare your anus rep} Interest rate cuts are moving farther away, or are off the table & if this becomes a trend in April & May then IMO rate hikes discussions are back on the table. On the other hand, in election years, the Fed has tried to stay neutral ... but 2024 might just be a different thing Shoulda loaded up on SPY puts
  23. I went the other way - it is hard not to pick Scottie, so I did. My picks are from the pick'em on the Masters website - where are y'all playing? You can play in a Surly group here https://www.masters.com/en_US/fantasy/join.html?leagueId=43725&leagueJoinToken=3f86cf5335
  24. Was really hoping that Rory would be with Phil, Brooks, Sergio or DJ. And seeing the pairings, I am disappointed every year that Patty Reed and Willet won hear because it means they get to keep coming back; it is like the ticket lottery - disappoints me every year.
