Masters Tournament

[bogey]

Augusta National Golf Club
7,445 yds. Par 72
Longest hole: 575 yd par 5
shortest hole: 155 yd par 3
Defending Champ: Zach Johnson
Tiger's won 4 green jackets, will this year be 5?
Davis Love will sit out his 1st major since 1990.
Arnie will hit the first tee shot for the second year @ 8:15 ET on Thursday.

I'll be parked in front of my TV Saturday and Sunday.
This is the first time I would actually take Tiger over the field.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm fully expecting Tiger to win, but Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott could make a run. They've both been playing really well as of late.

[tmax63]

Gotta a chance to walk the course during the practice rounds a long time ago and as a country boy growing up on a farm I was amazed as to how well that place was groomed. I got down in the bottom of the ditches and there was rake marks where some poor bastard had to go down there and "make it purty".

[smittysbar]

I am ready. I will take Tiger over the field.

[Ultra Peanut]

I already told you, Nantz, I don't give a **** about Amen Corner.

My favorite four days of the year in sports.

[OnTheWarpath15]

My favorite four days of the year in sports.

Me too.

Especially this year.

My 77 year old FIL, 3 months post-bypass (his 3rd in 25 years) and a pacemaker installation is down there with my BIL.

Plus, if you have DTV, they have a dedicated Masters channel this year, where you can watch 4 different areas of the course, including a dedicated Amen Corner cam.

[morphius]

Uverse has 3 extra channels they turned up just to cover the Masters, for free.

Now if I only liked watching golf.

[Skip Towne]

Where are they playing the Masters this year?

[phisherman]

Augusta, same as every other year.

[Deberg_1990]

Where are they playing the Masters this year?

You know....that place where they dont allow people of color and women.

[Skip Towne]

Oh yeah, that place. Did Hootie ever run off that old bitch who was hanging around causing trouble?

[Fish]

My favorite four days of the year in sports.

Ain't that the truth. But I would extend that a little bit. This month we've got the NCAA tourney, start of MLB season, Masters, NHL playoffs, NFL draft excitement....

Damn fine time to be a sports fan....

Iron my shirt. That's awesome. ROFL

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I don't think Scott has a chance in hell, OTW. He's not a very good putter. And Ogilvy, despite winning recently, really strikes me as more of a U.S. Open guy than a Masters guy.

The best thing about Augusta is that the cream almost always rises to the top, because it's easier to make pars than it is to make birdies (which is both the boon and curse of the Open).

[bogey]

I imagine the PGA is hoping Tiger is in the hunt when the week-end comes around. I must admit that if a top 10 player isn't competing on the week-end, I tune out.

[Skip Towne]

What channel has coverage on Thursday and Friday?

See you have a Cobra av. I am hitting the new LD F this year, love it so far.

[King_Chief_Fan]

See you have a Cobra av. I am hitting the new LD F this year, love it so far.

I read that the LD F (all the LD's) have a draw bias. I hit my driver fairly straight. Did or do you have any issues with the draw bias?

I am still using the Cobra Composite 414....I like the smaller club head size. shaft is 45g.....but stiff.

Pretty consistent with it......265 yards

My Cobra irons are a few years old. When I wear them out, I will buy more Cobras. Everything in the bag is Cobra except the putter(Ping)

[Bearcat]

Now if I only liked watching golf.

It's okay though, because the Frozen Four is on tonight and Saturday, and the NHL playoffs are.. well, not 'on', but I hear they're taking place. :) [/hijack]

I can't speak for the driver, as I play a Titleist.

But I do carry a Cobra LD F 3-wood, and I've yet to see anything that suggests a draw bias.

The Pro is neutral to open, yes it has a small draw bias. And I hit a draw, but the way it sets up it doesn't bother me. It is a VERY long club. I was hitting Titleist 905, this thing blows it away. I had the Diamanta X-Stiff shaft put in it. I think I am going to change shafts, launching a bit high, but the accuracy is awesome. This is the first Cobra I have bought, have not been disappointed.

[PhillyChiefFan]

I'm in the market for a driver but my swing speed is upwards of 110. Does a graphite shaft come on the LD F??? I'm considering a TM R7 but liked the LD F too, I haven't swung one yet though and need a shaft that doesn't flex too much.

I would HIGHLY recommend a Cobra X-Speed Pro with an x-stiff shaft.

[smittysbar]

Wouldn't get the pro. I have a high swing speed also, the F you will love. I didn't think the pro was quite as long. Also the pro produces more side spin. Have heard real good things about the new LV4 also.

[smittysbar]

Some big numbers getting posted so far. Woods finished even.

[PhillyChiefFan]

Thanks for the input all, I don't have very many golfing friends to help me out, they mostly just get drunk and swat the ball around.

I'm surprised Woods finished even!

[smittysbar]

They about didn't get everyone through before dark. No real big blow ups today.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Mickelson's round was pretty interesting. He was striping the ball on the first twelve holes, then starting spraying the ball, didn't make a single putt but that miracle on one, and finished -1.

he and Tiger are both in great shape.

[smittysbar]

Yeah, they are in good shape. That is what is great about the masters, tomorrow the leader could go to the back and vise verse.

[Donger]

How much weight has Phil lost?

[smittysbar]

How much weight has Phil lost?

Don't know, but he looked like he hit the gym hard

['Hamas' Jenkins]

How much weight has Phil lost?

He's lost a lot of weight, and it's really stabilized his swing. You can tell that his base is a lot stronger from the gym work (and work with Harmon) and he's not nearly as loose in his legs, which really helps his driving (which was excellent for the most part today, save for his teeball on 15).

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'm thinking about finally changing my irons this summer, after 8 years. I'm pretty much a Ping guy through and through. I've been playing the i3's since I graduated high school, have a set of Eye2's as backup, and am looking for something with a little bit of a cleaner overall look.

I was thinking about getting a combo set of i10's and S58's with Rifles in them, but I'll actually have to go to the mf'ing course to make use of 'em.

If you are a ping guy, that is probably the way I would go

[KC_Connection]

The three that I follow (Ames, Weir, and Woods) are still very much in it.
2 of them are Canadian...and Woods, well I just like watching him dominate and make history.

[PhillyChiefFan]

I have a friend at work who does not like his R7 and so now he is looking at going with the Callaway FT-I.

Thats kind of what I'm afraid of. I have only hit it on the simulator and I don't really know how accurate they are. The FT-I is far outta my range as far as cost goes right now, but I have hit it, and it feels great to hit.

I LOVE their G-10 driver. I desperatly need an upgrade on irons too. I'm 25 and I have had my set of clubs since I was 12!! Surprisingly, I still hit them well, and I took good care of them so they aren't bad, but just I need new ones.

G-10 probably would have been my other choice this year, I liked it a lot also. The R7s are a real good club too. Just depends on what look you like. I have never liked Taylor Made, the way it looks when setting up. I have a friend that is playing the SuperQuad R7, he loves it, he plays for MU. The best thing you could do is get fitted, the shaft is probably just as important as anything else when buying a driver anymore

I've REALLY come to realize that. I am planning on getting fitted, and like I said I need a stiff flex shaft cause of my swing speed. with the r7 I'm between the 425 and 460, my friend loves the 460, but its just so massive of a club head I don't know if I'll like it. I have hit the Titleist 907 D and liked it too

Do you think the moveable weights hold any merit or are they just a fad?

Sorry so many questions but its tough for me to find anyone that knows sh*t about golf around me.

[smittysbar]

Movable weighting works. It is the same as if you were to use lead tape. As long as you get a good shaft, it won't have much twist, so the larger head won't hurt anything. When buying new I would just get the 460. The Titleist D1 and D2's were a pretty big flop, and that's hard for me to say, I am a huge Titleist fan. If you look at the tour, most have the D2 head cover but are still hitting the 905, that says all you need to know about those. But mark my word Titleist will be coming out with something good next year, it is a great company and won't allow itself to be passed by.

[PhillyChiefFan]

I'll probably end up getting the 460. I'm going to use my buddy's tomorrow when we play to see if I like it, and he said that we can mess with the weights.

I need to upgrade my clubs too and I'm probably going with either Cobra s9's or Callaway X-18 (maybe 20's if I talk myself into using some of my tax incentive)

[smittysbar]

This new crop of young golfers are really playing good

[xbarretx]

heck guys i still got an old generic starter set. i need to UPG as well. the only club thats not a "piece" is my driver..... and i never practice enough with it to learn it.. :deevee:

Cut looks to be about +4.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I have hit the Titleist 907 D and liked it too

The 907 D1, or the 907 D2?

The D1 has the triangular shaped head, while the D2 has a more traditional pear shaped head.

I just ordered a D1 last week.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I took a 905T off of my BIL's hands after he snapped the shaft @ the hosel being a dumbass. I'm thinking about throwing a V2 in it and using it as a backup driver for my G2 which also has a V2 in it.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

It'll be interesting to see if Tiger can have one of his late round rallies given that 15 is still a birdie hole, and 16 has a fairly accessible pin position.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tiger with his patented splay cut on the 15th tee to put him in the straw. He's going to have to hit a huge looping piss slice just to get near the green.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Couples probably just missed the cut.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Couples probably just missed the cut.

If two of Cabrera, Donald, Ogilvey or Appleby crap down their shoes and finish +4, he'll make it. Otherwise, his streak is over :(

[bogey]

Where do you guys go for a legit fitting for clubs? The pro-shop out here (Roger Dunn) doesn't seem to offer real club fitting. When I invest in my next set, I want to take the step and have a real fitting.

Stay away from the big chains, Golf Galaxy, Nevada Bob's, Edwin Watts. Go to a PGA pro around your area who has a good rep, and hit balls in a live environment. Don't use a launch monitor for anything other than a second opinion, and if he wants you to hit into a net, tell him to f*ck off. Make sure he uses impact tape to judge your lie angle properly.

Do some research on your own to find a list of shafts that may suit you.

I really wish I could have put money on the fact that he was going to shoot 76+ today.

That's the one thing about major ch. golf. Every time an above average pro will come out and shoot the leading number, and 108 times out of 100, he'll shoot 8-10 shots worse the next day.

Wow. Tiger just got f*cking screwed there. That's a horrible break.

It's his own damn fault for not waiting for Applebee to mark. Announcer said it best, for someone who thinks everything through so meticulously, Tiger made huge mental error. Still got the par there.

Happens every year @ Augusta. At least one person will make an 8 or a 9 at 15 because they rinse the first, and then get tentative on the second, and you can't play that hole with your butthole puckered.

I'm not a Tiger guy, but you will almost never see pros wait for their partners to mark when they are 80+ yards from the green. That was a really bad "rub of the green".

Phil with a great pitch at two for the tap-in.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'd just like to remind everyone that although Tiger is unquestionably great, he's not known for Sunday comebacks in majors. He generally grabs the lead in round three or earlier, and chokes the life from the competition. If he doesn't make a move damn soon, he's gonna be gunning for 3rd, not a win.

Mickelson laid up on 8 to hit a wedge in, hit a great shot, which hit the pin (and was very unlucky), causing it to spin back 25 feet. He was so pissed he ran his first putt four feet by and then blew the downhiller for par.

There's no need to compound an unlucky break with stupidity, but that's what has always separated Phil from Tiger.

[Silock]

Bad putt, Tiger.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Bad putt, Tiger.

It wasn't bad, just mediocre. An 8 footer at Augusta that burns the edge is rarely a poor putt.

[Silock]

For someone that isn't named "Tiger," I would agree.

Unlucky on that roll on 16.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tiger has hit two very very good iron shots on 14 and 16, and they both ended up 50+ feet away because he just missed the ridge.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Romero, sometimes you just have to accept that you're gonna make a bogey.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Romero, sometimes you just have to accept that you're gonna make a bogey.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Phil is completely falling apart. He needs to let that bogey go.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Really good recovery shot by Phil on 10, but he needs to make the putt to have any kind of momentum on the back nine (which is traditionally his best @ Augusta).

['Hamas' Jenkins]

WOW. Mickelson missed a 6 foot putt by 6 inches.

[Skip Towne]

Phil stepping on his dick.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Tiger misses an eagle at 17 by a ball width.

[Bowser]

Phil stepping on his dick.

Clockwork.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Clockwork.

It's becoming increasingly more apparent that Winged Foot ruined him.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Reverse jinx working on Phil??

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Steve one pound of Flesch no more, no less with his first bogey since Thursday. Snedeker leaking oil like a goddamned Gremlin on 13. Casey just squatf*cked himself on 15, and Immelman is alone at -9.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Casey promptly throws a dart on 16.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Well screw that. Phil misses a short birdie putt and then hits a piss yank on 16. He's done.

[Skip Towne]

I wish Boo Weekley would start his charge.

[kstater]

These two just made it very hard for Tiger tomorrow. A lot of ground and a few people between him. Immleman and Snediker absolutely stuck their approaches on 18.

[Donger]

So, what's the chance of Tiger catching those two turds tomorrow?

[kstater]

So, what's the chance of Tiger catching those two turds tomorrow?

I'd say it's going to be tough. Short of Tiger shooting 62(not going to happen) I can see one dropping back to him, but not both.

[OnTheWarpath15]

So, what's the chance of Tiger catching those two turds tomorrow?

A lot better now that the forecast is calling for 30 MPH winds this afternoon.

If it's truly that windy, I fully expect Tiger and Flesch to make a run. Both handle heavy wind very well.

It sounds crazy, but if Tiger can post a 71 or even par, he might win this thing. After seeing Justin Rose post a 78 in near perfect conditions, I can only imagine what we might see today.

This is gonna be fun.

If it's truly that windy, I fully expect Tiger and Flesch to make a run. Both handle heavy wind very well.

It sounds crazy, but if Tiger can post a 71 or even par, he might win this thing. After seeing Justin Rose post a 78 in near perfect conditions, I can only imagine what we might see today.

This is gonna be fun.

You have to remember that the tournament organizers aren't the sadists at the USGA. The people @ Augusta realize that when people like Zach Johnson win a battle of attrition at +1, it doesn't help bring in the casual fan. They made the course set up more forgiving this year so that -6 to -10 would be the winning score.

If the wind is really howling, expect some of the Sunday pins to be moved from their normal locations.

And Justin Rose shoots a 78 in perfect conditions every year @ The Masters.

Can't argue with that, but even with easier placements, those greens are a bitch. Nearly impossible to hit a 2 yard window when the wind is blowing that hard. Even with easy placements, if you miss your window, you'll be lucky to two-putt.

But there are places on those greens that have larger windows. 12 will be a degenerate whore today, and 16 won't be much better, but I imagine they'll put 11 as a center or center-right pin.

I would imagine you'll have an average round of around 75 today. Tiger will have to shoot at least 69 to win, even with these winds.

12 and 16 are gonna be like watching the 17th at The Players Championship.

Someone's gonna post a triple or quad there today, if the winds are as bad as they say they might be.

I put my money on Phil.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'll go with Sean O'Hair.

:D

[Donger]

Interesting. Thanks guys.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Snedeker and Immelman are really carving up #1.

[kstater]

Snedeker and Immelman are really carving up #1.

Yup and Tiger in the bunker on 2.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Cink opens with back-to-back birdies. Within 4 of the lead.

[kstater]

IMO, Tiger needs to start making some of these 15 footers like he has coming up to have a chance.

[kstater]

HECK of a putt by Snedeker.

[kstater]

Excellent Golf shots all around. Casey stuck it on #3(3rd shot), Tiger stuck his bunker shot on 4.

[kstater]

Tiger one turn from a miracale. Still a heck of a par.

[kstater]

Immelman falling apart at the seams.

[the Talking Can]

Tiger left an incredible long range putt about .00001 inch short...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Paul Casey with a f*cking horrendous break. Somewhere, Peter Kostis just went limp.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Flesch just laid the face of his driver open and hit an 80 yard push-cut. God, that was ugly.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

This tournament is Immelman's to lose.

[smittysbar]

Immelman has played solid, he deserves this win. But anything can happen.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

It isn't the back 9 yet ;)

[smittysbar]

i agree

[smittysbar]

Tiger in a bit of trouble

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tiger in a bit of trouble

You simply cannot hit in that bunker at 10 and expect to make par more than 1/10 times.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Immelman with a pure over the top move on 9.

[keg in kc]

Guess Tiger wants to make this interesting after all.

[kstater]

That's a Cheer that will strike fear into opponents.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Hopefully that lights a fire under his ass.

[keg in kc]

lmao Now that's a sigh of relief

[BWillie]

Immellman triple bogey anytime now

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tiger hits a huge push on 13 after Flesch rinses his ball on 12.

And he is in jail with no possibility for parole.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Wow. What a bail out by Immelman. If ever there was a "don't hit a pull hook" swing, that was it.

[kstater]

Wow. What a bail out by Immelman. If ever there was a "don't hit a pull hook" swing, that was it.

Going to be a tricky chip with that drain tile there. Tiger going to be lucky to advance it 50 yards up the fairway here.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'm waiting for a rules official to call that tree a temporally immoveable obstruction and give Tiger a drop.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Actually, this would be the perfect time to carry a one-iron. You could lay it wide open and hit a huge looping cut around that tree, advance it way down the fairway, and if thunderstorms break out, hold the sumbitch over your head.

[kstater]

Tiger proves me wrong yet again. Excellent out from there.

[keg in kc]

I don't think I'll be trying Tiger's shot there next weekend.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Snedeker continues to throw up all over himself.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I don't think I'll be trying Tiger's shot there next weekend.

It's easier than you think. It's similar to hitting a flop shot in that you set your wrists really soon and slam the club down really hard into the back of the ball.

[keg in kc]

Holy shit.

[kstater]

He was still gunning for eagle there.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Tiger Woods, you are ridiculous.

Now don't blow the bird.

[BWillie]

Immellman just won. Nice putt.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Immelman doesn't seem to be too concerned about it. Nice save.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Immellman just won. Nice putt.

Little early for that talk.

He could go +3 over the last 3 holes.

[BWillie]

I will leave Chiefsplanet for a month if Trevor Immelman loses.

[BWillie]

hahah. failure for tiger

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tiger just doesn't have it this week.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Dumbass.

[kstater]

That's going to be tricky for Immleman.

Dangit Tiger, just pulled it.

[keg in kc]

And Tiger chokes away his chance.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I will leave Chiefsplanet for a month if Trevor Immelman loses.

Don't say that. You'd be missed.

By someone.

:D

[keg in kc]

Tiger just doesn't have it this week.That's what's amazing about him. He has a bad week and finishes in the top 5 at the Masters.

[kstater]

Tiger really needed that birdie. Immleman about to drop a shot(or 2).

[OnTheWarpath15]

Man, that blown putt by Tiger is even bigger now that Immelman is carving up 12.

[kstater]

Perdy putt by Snedeker.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That's what's amazing about him. He has a bad week and finishes in the top 5 at the Masters.

And that's what people forget about Jack Nicklaus--second 19 times, third 9 times more in majors in addition to 18 wins.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Immelman leaves himself a knee-knocker for bogey.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

14 and 15 are still birdie holes. Tiger fans better hope for him to get both along with another on the last three to have a shot.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Yeah, but Kostis doesn't tell the story of how Strange made a f*cking 9 on thirteen earlier in the week in '85.

That was what cost him the tournament.

[BWillie]

HAHAHHAHA. Another miss for Tigger Todds

[kstater]

Tiger's done.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tiger with the Scott Hoch impersonation.

[kstater]

Tiger's only chance is to get to 6 somehow and hopes Immelman collapses.

[kstater]

Snedeker hit the exact same spot yesterday.

[kstater]

Barring a collapse, that should be it.

[smittysbar]

He makes this putt and it over

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Maybe Immelman will go Tin Cup on 15, Tiger fans.

[smittysbar]

Maybe Immelman will go Tin Cup on 15, Tiger fans.

my favorite movie

['Hamas' Jenkins]

my favorite movie

1981, Fort Washington Golf Club. Final round of the Tour Qualifying School. You tried to hit that same impossible cut three wood from a hilly lie. Put 5 in a row out of bounds, man. Til you finally pulled it off, and tapped it in for a crowd-pleasing 13, when a 12 would have gotten you on the tour. Now that was a defining moment.

And the definition was shit.

[smittysbar]

little gust there Romes

[kstater]

Oy, in the water.

[smittysbar]

don't think it will matter

[smittysbar]

double

[kstater]

Immelman is going to make this much more interesting than it should be.

[kstater]

6 or better wins it.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Had Tiger shot 69 as I said....

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Phenomenal shot, and Snedeker is going to give him a perfect read.

[kstater]

I'd say it's going to be tough. Short of Tiger shooting 62(not going to happen) I can see one dropping back to him, but not both.

I should start a 900 number or something.

[kstater]

DAMN he's got a hot wife.

[ClevelandBronco]

That's a nice win. He could have had some mental problems develop at the end of the first 9 today. He pulled himself back and won.

Good jacket.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Congrats, Trevor.

He had several opportunities to go in the tank and kept his head.

All in all, kind of a boring Masters. Oh well, the US Open is always great for entertainment, if you are into schadenfraude.

[2112]

I picked 18th in a pool at my local bar this year. I picked David Toms. :shake:

Two years ago picking 22nd I picked Zack Johnson, one year too early. :shake:

3 years ago was Davis Love III. :shake:

$400 at stake for the winner.

Here's the formula, bud:

Pick a guy who hits a high draw, is a good putter, and has been there more than once.

You make the picks on wed, so you don't even know who makes the cut yet.


It's not that easy when you're picking higher than 10th. most of the big names have already been taken. we draw numbers out of a hat, and then you pick your golfer when your number comes up.

I wasn't giving you shit, you just gave me an opportunity to mention that Toms shot an 81.

Nah, no problem. he is a good golfer though, but he never had a chance, I think he was +2 on Friday.

Yeah, my boy Ogilvy shot a ridiculously high number today as well.

And my other pick, Adam Scott was hampered by some illness - guess maybe a flu bug. I never heard exactly what was up with him.

Yeah...

Again, draw up a list of 20 guys who are good putters and hit a high draw. You'll have a much better shot.

I have two friends that are PGA pros. I was going by their recommendations. I should have told them that Hamas Jenkins from Chiefsplanet says you don't know what you're talking about. my bad. :)

It doesn't take a lot of common sense to know what works at Augusta. And trust me, there are a lot of pros out there that are absolute dumbasses.

Who did you like this weekend?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Who did you like this weekend?

About 4:00 today, I picked Immelman ;)



For the record, never pick Sergio (bad putter), Toms (overrated), or Furyk (grinders don't do well there historically).

Never pick a guy who uses a belly putter.
Never pick a guy who isn't at least in the top 1/4 of driving distance (this won't work 1/5 years).
Don't pick a righty who hits a cut unless he is looooong off the tee.
Don't pick a guy over 40 (Jack Nicklaus was 20+ years ago).


If you draw a bad number next year, look at Andres Romero, Angel Cabrera, or Paul Casey, but if you want a real dark horse...

We do these pools for every major tournament, so I'll let you pick for me when the next one comes up. it's only 10 bucks with the chance to win $400, and I have never won the pool before. so I'll let you pick for me and I'll pay you in casino cash if we win. how's that?
