The Masters thread

[shortstop20]

Chad Campbell came out firing today with a 65.

Tiger is gaining some momentum finally.

Who's everybody rooting for?

 

[cmantle1]

Tiger, i want him to come back and kick as much *** as he always has.....

you been playin any latley?

i got a few rounds in the other weekend in utah.....now im ready for the season!

 

[luvtoride]

I hate spring time in MN. Too much snow to golf, not enough to ride....ugh, I'm going to tear my hair out.

I want my last day of riding to end, then the snow to melt overnight, then the grass to green up for a 7am tee time. That would be awesome. But alas, there are almost 2 full months of blah before the courses open.

Oh well, go TIGER! The sport practically revolves around him, I hope he wins.

cmantle1,

I've played 4 9 hole rounds so far this year. That was before winter started here. LOL We never had any snow until 3 weeks ago, now there's a foot of it on the ground. Shot 45, 43, 43, and 44. Not too bad considering I started last summer as a 100 shooter. I played before that but took 3 years off so needless to say I was a bit rusty. Hoping to shoot 40 or below at least once before the end of the year. If I can get any sort of consistancy with my driver I think I can do it.

Snow is too hard to ride the sled, too cold to ride my sportbike and too much snow to golf, what the heck is a guy supposed to do. Good thing the Masters is on and I always have SnoWest.

I'm rooting for Tiger and Paddy!

I'm pullin for super smooth Freddy but my money this year is on Olgivy. Pick any player other than Tiger in this pool. This is just the finest sporting event there is. Whats a better Sat than teeing off at 7:30am and finishing up just in time to come home, lay on the couch with a cold beer and watch the Masters?Nothing LOL!

i hate you....

 

[Disco Dan Richter]

Dookie, you are nuts! No way Ogilve is going to win, I hear ya on Fredmeister, would love to see him win. My pick, Tiger....even though he bugs me. A possible dark horse, Jim Furyk or Tim Clark. I doubt Campbell will hold up, especially after the way he finished today.
Paddy???? ROTFLMAO! I doubt he will make the cut.

 

[duke1n]

You can't pick Tiger in my pool. Of course he's the odds on favorite. Other than Tiger my list is pretty small of players I think can handle the pressure of Sunday at the Masters. My other pick is Zach. I like his swing and hold off move. I like Kenny Perry as well.

 

[oregunrmk]

Darn Duke, I was gonna say Kenny Perry, but ya beat me too it.

really? honestly? it's a sport?

 

[Yellow Sno]

Campbell is -4 through 10 today and -11 overall. 5 shots clear of the field. He will struggle at some point no doubt, but can anybody catch him if he has 5 shots on the field going into the weekend when the course will play much tougher?

Tigger E through 5 today and has a lot of catching up to doo.

 

[Yellow Sno]

really? honestly? it's a sport?

Yes

 

[luvtoride]

really? honestly? it's a sport?

Criquet, javelin, and others are sports, why can't golf be? Its as much about physical skill as most other sports, it just doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in shape to play it.

 

[shortstop20]

Paddy???? ROTFLMAO! I doubt he will make the cut.

Padraig has just as much of a chance if not more of a chance of winning than Furyk and Clark.

Campbell is -4 through 10 today and -11 overall. 5 shots clear of the field. He will struggle at some point no doubt, but can anybody catch him if he has 5 shots on the field going into the weekend when the course will play much tougher?

He'll fold under pressure on the weekend.

if 12 oz curls count, 1001, 1002...
Golfing is fun, you can always be better at it. I played in high school, my dad is a big golfer too..kinda is in the family!

 

[duke1n]

Started off bogie, bogie, triple, this morning and then managed to shoot 79 lol. Got a cold beer in hand firing up the Tivo now.

 

[Disco Dan Richter]

Damn, 79 on 9 holes, not too shabby Judge Smail.

 

[duke1n]

42/37

Move back to the blue tee's mr chump change and shoot that 90 you're capable if lol

 

[Disco Dan Richter]

Uh......I play the blue tee's Smail, I have to enter from the whites only because of Mens league, but in all recreational rounds I play the pro tee's. It sucks being able to hit a ball 300 plus anytime, white tee's leave me with too short of approach's, to use anything other tha adriver on a p-4 is uncivilized.
I am going out tomorrow morning for a round of 18, 2nd time on the course and first of the year, I bet I shoot a 75.
