Golf World Golf thread - Welcome to the The Masters

[peternorth]

A tradition like no other......

For the first time since 1994, the hallowed fairways of Augusta will be missing two of this generations greatest players - Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Their absence are explained via strikingly contrasting reasons, which the author of this post will leave alone of respect.

Get ready for late nights, early mornings and the dulcet sounds of birds chirping. The Masters Tournament, watch if live on Fox Sports and Kayo.

Couldn't help myself

Locked in baby!

Teachable moment for a certain someone I know on 12. 5 guys in the lead, tied or in position to win walk to tee box. 4 dump it in the water. 1 puts it safely on the left side of the green takes his par and moves along.

Sometimes par is a very good score.

How??
Bloody hell!

 

[AmericanCrow]

I am trying to figure out if it would take me 6 or 7 shots to get that far.

 

[peternorth]

bloody hell! What ball does he use?

Depends are you allowed to tee it up each time?

If accuracy or keeping the ball in certain boundaries is not a prerequisite it maybe achievable for moi

Am guessing not this one:

As a former single figure golfer (no longer play) I had a 6 6 6 rule. On a typical day there'll be 6 holes where you play to your true ability, there'll be 6 holes where you play worse and 6 holes where you'll play better (not necessarily scoring-wise). It doesn't matter what order they come in, so if you start off playing badly, remember there are 6 holes where you'll play badly anyway, ie, a bogey on the first hole doesn't mean you're in for a bad day, it just means you had one of your bad holes. I found it helped me to never give up.

If you go over a 6 does the umpire warn you for inpinging on the 6-6-6 rule

Y U no play no more

You are the umpire Once you go over the 6 bad holes (before the 18 is up) you can stick a fork in yourself, you're done.

Y U no play no more

Health issues. I still take an 8 or 9 iron out regularly while I walk the dogs around the local course and hit one or two dozen shots. Plus I've moved to a rural area where the local course is only open 6 months of the year and it has dirt greens, so...

That camera they used at the Masters had, I think, McIroy's head speed at +130MPH, which is just crazy. Love to know what speed this guy was at.

Interesting that it's faster before the ball strike than at the actual ball strike.
Great technology.

The closer to the ball strike the better, that's the art of longgg

Looks like orange man will be coming to the Presidents Cup

 

[Elixuh]

I think I will come down for the Saturday and Sunday rounds of the Pres Cup. Looking forward to it.

 

[Pklz]

My girlfriend bought me a Friday ticket for the presidents cup for my birthday. Thinking I might also go another day though, either a practice round day or a weekend day.

Anyone have recommendations as to which other day I should go on?

Sunday features the greatest number of games (12) and you're guaranteed to see every player play but the day with the most golf on offer timewise is Saturday (8 games but spread out over AM and PM).

Given how bad the Internationals are there's a fair chance it will be all over by Sunday so a possible letdown.
