T&C Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 ⛳ Who do you like? Going with Phil even though the odds are pretty low. But, that's why we watch. https://www.masters.com/en_US/tournament/schedule.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I’ll take Jon Rahm. 🤷♂️ Walking that course a few years ago on a Thursday was surreal. I recently saw they play the women’s amateur tournament there or something (no sound in a bar for lunch). THAT would be the way I’d like to see that course, with fewer people. Yeah, it was cool when Tiger walked past with the crowd and energy, but the magic is in the golf course. Television does not begin to convey the extreme topography. It’s much more than tricky greens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's going to be delayed so a Sunday finish could be a little dicey. Have never been there but yeah I'm sure it's a small paradise in person. Closest I ever got was being stationed at Ft. Gordon lol. "According to Weather.com, Thursday calls for morning thunderstorms, a 100 percent chance of rain and winds hovering between 15 and 25 mph, including the potential for strong gusty winds in the Augusta, Ga., area. The hour-by-hour forecast says there’s about a 50 percent chance of showers beginning around midnight on Wednesday. The chance of rain slowly increases on Thursday morning, with the forecast escalating to thunderstorms and a 99 percent chance of rain by 5 a.m. Thursday. Thunderstorms, a strong chance of rain and wind around 16-18 mph are present until about 11 a.m., when the forecast begins to improve. After 2 p.m., the rest of the day will be partly cloudy, with little chance of rain and winds around 17 mph." https://golf.com/news/masters-weather-thursday-storm-threatens-delay/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Did anybody else see Tiger get sandblasted in the face a while ago? That was pretty funny with the wind trying to empty that bunker! 😂 That is basically our weather and the HOA sent landscape crews to get all the fallen branches out of everyone’s yard. I can’t IMAGINE golfing in that, but they are the best of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in Buffalo I remember telling my mother “I HATE WIND!” Okay, I was young, but I had a point. Rain, cold and snow don’t mess up every sport! Try to shoot hoops, play tennis or throw a frisbee in a nasty wind! It can become comical! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projected cut keeps going up, I would say due to the wind=rotten scores... it's at +5 now. My man Phil is done for the day at +3 so he should be playing this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I know very little about golf, but I placed a bet on Scheffler to win and cashed. Also had Homa and Aberg bet to win, and also Cam Smith to finish top 10 (which also cashed). I think I bet $35 and won ~$145. Anyway, I watched pretty much all weekend long. It was very entertaining. Although my wife was pissed bc I never watch golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
