4/11/2013 8:57:59 AM

we did a 6 man snake draft for all for majors. i got 4th pick might not have anybody playing this weekend haha

1st Louis Oosthuizen
2nd Brandt snedeker
3rd Bubba Watson
4th Hunter Mahan

$100 and you can buy a new golfer for $5.

the guy has a excel sheet that is based on Four Ball/Better Ball so you take the best score for each hole out of your 4 golfers. should be interesting.

4/11/2013 9:07:49 AM

and we are live at Amen Corner!

second monitor at work is tuned in for the day. I fucking love Masters weekend

4/11/2013 10:44:38 AM

dammit. work has every sport streaming source blocked. it's about time I get a tablet to bring into work.

4/11/2013 11:11:32 AM

i got my hot spot turned on my iPhone and using my iPad to stream. i could steam on the work internet, but they monitor the shit out of that.

Tiger on 11 and just dropped the F-bomb haha

4/11/2013 1:55:07 PM

4/11/2013 3:29:31 PM

^I don't get it. Are they not allowed to run or anything?

4/11/2013 4:41:35 PM

Can't run, can't lay down on the grass

4/11/2013 4:43:51 PM

Can't have a vagina

4/11/2013 5:30:36 PM

In downtown Augusta at my apartment right now. Maybe I should walk down and beg for tickets like last year tomorrow...

4/11/2013 5:33:35 PM

Let's see how Sergio chokes this time.

4/11/2013 5:50:38 PM

I can't believe Phil hit 15 of 18 greens and made 5 birdies. It seemed like he was all over the park off the tee today.

I would definitely like to see DJ hang around until Sunday as well. He was close at Whistling Straits a couple years ago until he grounded his club in that waste bunker that knocked him out of the playoff.

Also, if you aren't pulling for Guan, you're a bad guy. It's so awesome that a 14 year old kid is out there getting it done hitting hybrids in where other guys are pulling 8 irons. I hope he can make it to the weekend. He sounds very humble and grounded in the few interviews I've seen with him.

4/11/2013 8:46:23 PM

I'm not sold on Guan yet

I am happy that Couples is hanging around the top of the leaderboard after the first day. And I'm rooting for Tiger to win it all, I have yet to find a better day in sports than Sunday at the Masters when Tiger is at the top of his game

4/11/2013 9:30:22 PM

My week long sabitical from sports talk radio has begun.

4/11/2013 9:32:13 PM

Yeah, I can't listen to Adam and joe anymore. If I head Ovies say "yeah, but is Tiger back" one more fucking time I'm going to break my stereo

4/11/2013 9:48:51 PM

as much as so many people love masters weekend, i just can't seem to get in to it.

i've never played golf, but would like to learn. maybe i'd enjoy it more if i started playing.

4/11/2013 11:16:14 PM

garcia +4 today so far. haha, ouch.

[Edited on April 12, 2013 at 2:20 PM. Reason : and freddy just about put a layup in the water]

4/12/2013 2:16:19 PM

poor Guan

4/12/2013 2:38:29 PM

Boy, Johnson really stunk up the back 9. I think the shot in the water on 15 really messed with his head.

lol at slow play penalty

4/12/2013 3:33:49 PM

^^ what happened? did he get hurt or something

4/12/2013 3:39:55 PM

1-stroke penalty for slow play.

4/12/2013 3:41:09 PM

That'll show China.

No offense, shoot.

4/12/2013 3:46:16 PM

lol at Furyk asking the fringe to be cleaned with a leaf blower

[Edited on April 12, 2013 at 3:48 PM. Reason : and then knocking it 10 feet by]

4/12/2013 3:47:15 PM

poor Tiger

4/12/2013 6:31:35 PM

Tiger dropping F bombs on the worldwide leader

[Edited on April 12, 2013 at 7:16 PM. Reason : "gotta be kidding me...it can't, fucking, be long"]

4/12/2013 7:15:46 PM

So Tiger maybe DQ'ed this morning due to an illegal drop on 15.

4/13/2013 8:27:55 AM

2 shot penalty but no DQ.

Confusing since be DID then sign a bad scorecard.

4/13/2013 9:39:19 AM

I'm glad he's still in it for more drama but I can't figure out how he can continue after signing a bad scorecard. Apparently rule 33-7 gives the committee discretion to not disqualify.

Also it's a dumb rule. If you drop it farther back there shouldn't be an issue. Now if you drop closer there should be an issue.

[Edited on April 13, 2013 at 9:48 AM. Reason : ]

4/13/2013 9:47:35 AM

Yup you have to wonder if it was anybody else would they dq them. We now go from the tuck rule to the tiger rule

4/13/2013 10:18:22 AM

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say either an American or an Australian will win this thing

4/13/2013 10:35:47 AM

rules committee made a major mistake IMO. The 33-7 rule is for instances where a penalty is noticed because of new technology like super slo-mo hi def cameras and there is no way the player could have reasonably known a penalty occurred. It is not applicable when a rule is violated due to ignorance of the rules. Tiger should have known the rule. He should be dq'd. Glad he wasn't though

Agree 98%, left your last sentence off b/c that just doesn't make any sense.

4/13/2013 11:00:27 AM

It doesn't make sense that the dude would like to continue watching Tiger play rather than him being DQed? Ooook.

4/13/2013 1:57:25 PM

If he should be DQ'd he should be DQ'd

adding the....but I really want to watch tiger despite the rules just sounds bitchmade to me.

4/13/2013 2:08:56 PM

I want to see him absolutely destroy the field now

4/13/2013 2:11:06 PM

Rule 33-7 states that if the penalty is brought to your attention after the fact, then it is only a 2-shot penalty.

So in that regard, they made the correct ruling on the issue.

Noone said anything to Tiger when he was actually making the drop. Officials are there to watch you when you make a drop, so if it was illegal, someone should have said something right then and there.

Did Tiger know he was willingly breaking the rule? Only Tiger knows that.

4/13/2013 2:12:58 PM

^ no walking officials at The Masters

4/13/2013 2:15:09 PM

^Didn't know that. Thanks.

That is ridiculous, then. Do they just depend on the players to police themselves? They need walking officials.

4/13/2013 2:26:11 PM

I dont undertand what he did that was wrong. He step back two feet and then dropped it?

4/13/2013 4:49:21 PM

What's not to understand? The rule states he is supposed to drop the ball as close as possible. He openly admitted he intentionally did not do that in his post round interview.

Also it was about 6 feet behind, not 2.

4/13/2013 4:52:05 PM

I thought it was ok to walk back

4/13/2013 4:53:31 PM

I think they have walking rules officials at The Masters, just not one assigned to each group, like most events

4/13/2013 4:54:04 PM

4/13/2013 5:48:53 PM

do the rockaway, now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back

4/13/2013 5:52:07 PM

realistically, what do you guys think you could shoot at Augusta?

4/14/2013 12:36:22 PM

99

105 if the greens are extra fast

4/14/2013 12:43:02 PM

I dunno, is this course especially difficult? I would have to factor that in to my answer.

4/14/2013 12:49:22 PM

Playing the tournament setup? Or the members' tees?

I fluctuate between a 4-6 handicap on my home course. I'm not a bomber, but I'm always in play and use good course management to post numbers.

That being said, I'd probably shoot somewhere between 85-90 on the tournament setup just due to the length alone. Hitting long irons and hybrids into some of these greens would lead to more trouble around the green complexes and more missed greens.

On the members setup I feel like I could shoot 80-82 and even better if I got some rounds in and got familiar with the course.

4/14/2013 12:49:41 PM

^^ I think the greens alone could add 5-10 strokes for most amateurs
