yer smarter than that Tipp. No relation between where they are compared to par, and being in 'striking distance'. Being five back right now is a huge hill to climb. In some ways having a lot of folks within a couple/three of the lead makes it MORE exciting! Plus it's only day one! Gonna be a great tournament.Quote:

And trust me, unless you've spent time in the corporate counsel department for a company that is as large as one of America's biggest brokerage firms you do not know as much as me about management, governance and corporate responsibility. I'm not trying to be a dick waving idiot here, I'm just simply pointing out that you are wrong on the law when it comes to discrimination. No personal digs here pal, (unlike you) I'm just telling you that you're wrong, and the law is on Augusta's side. Touchy-feeley arguments hold no weight here.
Now, can we please stop thrunting up this thread?
Westwood, Jimenez or Bubba for the win; pick one fellas. I'd love to see Rory do well, as he seemed to get through some nerves today, but this is one tough course.
personally i'd never pick based on Thursday's scoring. Still w/Keegan and Rory. And i will quite possibly be very wrong. Again.Quote:

Westwood is due in my mind but an Oosthausen (sp?) or similar player could come to stun all the other favorites.
Good Lord, I wanted Boom Boom to hole out on that approach today, but again it looks like he keeps missing putts. The dream lives on...
Appropriate Masters question:
Out of the 3 honorary first tee shots, who was your all time favorite? Arnie, Jack, or Gary?
I personally love Arnie's attitude and workman's style, and Gary's class, but Jack's gotta take it by a nose.
agree. Love Jack kind of glancing at the ball flight, then, like us mortals do, reaching down to grab the tee...Quote:

It is a sweet, matter-of-fact look though that he pulled off today.
They're expecting another inch to inch and a half of rain tonight.
Pin-seeking conditions tomorrow. Gonna be fun to watch. Gotta go to Total and grab a pick-six of IPAs.
LPGA has stricter rules and average round time is considerably less than PGA.Quote:

Within a matter of minutes, his 36th birthday party went from what could have been a cool celebration of his holding the lead after the first round of the Masters to his simply eating cake.
It isn't every day a player posts an 8 on the 18th hole at Augusta National. It is the biggest number on the finishing hole anyone has ever written on his scorecard there. Before Thursday, only six men had done it.

even though it's not....today feels like moving day to me.
sure hasn't been much moving so far, couple/three strokes either way max...well, other than Lyle going from 14 to 20 over.:eek:Quote:

love to see Freddy in contention!!!
Go Jefferson Park!!!
Huh, I pretty much wrote Sergio off yesterday after he blew his tee shot on the last par 3 into the bunker, then left it in the bunker!
Good for him though. Looks like Rory's back on track and go Boom Boom!
Tiger with a birdie at 1
it seems like everybody is finding the water @ 13
Do you even play golf, or are you just a fair weather, or foul weather hater?Quote:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Tiger isn't going to win....he's doing nothing with the Par 5s, just doesn't seem to have it this week.
Rory is in great shape.
Boom Boom is $$$ at Augusta...52 and still killing it.
Tiger might miss the cut...he's just awful right now.
Going to be an exciting weekend....would LOVE to see Boom Boom win it! I look forward to that big dope Auburn grad Duffner choking.
I'm glad Tiger is back to cursing. Surprised none of the announcers apologized.
Wait - whut? How is pointing out he was 5 shots behind hating?Quote:

Wow. Tiger has just de-railed. His performance on 15 and 16 is really cringe-worthy to watch.
I'm loving the top of this leader board right now. It should make one hell of a weekend.
It's been sweet to have 6 channels of Masters coverage - reason enough for Directv.
Go play golf hacker .Quote:
