It's going to be interesting with the expected weather issues. The last group may be my favorite. I like all three.

 

[Irvin Snibbley]

Just a guess....The winner comes from the Fitzpatrck,Morikawa,Zalatoris pairing.

 

[accock]

10:42 pairing is a good one

I'll go with one out of the 1:36 tee time....

This want be popular, but I'm getting a feeling Patrick Reed will be in contention come Sunday. He feeds off others not "liking" him. Especially if the LIV stuff keeps being brought by media etc.

I do love watching the masters on Sunday. (Not so much the first 3 rounds) The only thing I don't like about the Masters is when they changed the course when Tiger was obliterating it in his early years. The analogy in my mind is like : It's like when MJ came to the NBA and (if) the NBA decided to make the rim 15 feet tall instead of 10.

I didn't like it. Still don't. I like that Rays Creek hole. Not sure what # that is. Seems to give a lot of em' fits though.

I'll be there Thursday.

Ham & Cheese on Rye, bag of chips and a pink lemonade.

I'll see you near the landing area on 13.

I read that 13 has been lengthened by 35 yards. Let's see what the scoring average is this year. I guess it takes out cutting the corner and
longer clubs needed on second shot.

Plenty of those who hit as far or further back then

What happened at the Masters Champions Dinner 2023? Fuzzy Zoeller and others give us the dirt

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The elephant in the room went unaddressed Tuesday evening at the Champions Dinner. According to multiple past champions, the topic of Masters winners leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf was not mentioned during the annual get-together. “We’re just…

Well, ALL of the guys would be obliterating it by now. Both back nine par 5s would be par 4s and EVERYONE would go for the green every time. It’s nice to have these really good players have to make a choice that matters.

12,13,15,16 make the Masters the most fun to watch major.Don't mess too much with a good thing.

No pink lemonade yesterday but got my ham & cheese on rye. Man, it was hot and humid. Is it just me or does it seem like Augusta National is selling a lot more tickets? I've been going to the tournament since the late 70's and it just looks like the crowds are getting much larger. Took 40 minutes just to get into the pro shop yesterday.

I was there, also. Gift Shop was something. Could hardly even move once you got into it. I know someone who spent $1,600. People go crazy in there. They don’t release the number of tickets sold…so we will never know how many. I guess as long as there is no safety issues…the crowd number is ok. I got the BBQ. Can’t beat the food prices.

They are much larger. Especially in the last ten years or so

I’m still amazed every time I go.
