Masters Tournament - Page 2

**bogey** · 04-08-2008, 04:48 PM

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.

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** · 04-09-2008, 01:39 PM

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.

What channel has coverage on Thursday and Friday?

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

So true. The only other time that comes close is October.

I would like to see Tiger get his 5th jacket.

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)

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.

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.

My Bag
Cobra LD F XS Diamanta
Titleist 3W 15* XS
Adams Hybrid 19*
3-PW Callaway Fusion
Titleist Vokey spin mill 56* SW
Scotty Carmron Detour putter
SG4 SkyCaddie
Pro Vx

Hmmm.

Thanks for the info. Maybe my swing is so jacked up that it doesn't affect me.....
