The Masters

[Montalban]

You are just another Tiger nut hugger.

The most enjoyment I got in the whole tournament was watching Woods make a 10 on the par 3 12th hole today

I opened up a bottle of champagne after watching that.

The most dominant performance in Masters history.

LOL. No it wasn't.

Tiger won in '97 by 12
Floyd won in '76 by 8
Jack won in '65 by 9

This was an impressive performance but certainly not historic given how easy the course was playing.

Easy? the first time I played it I putted the ball into the water on 16 and those greens weren't even close to as fast as Masters week I'm told

Yes easy, compared to how it generally plays. I've never seen those greens hold like they were holding this week. That alone had to be worth several strokes. The greens are Augusta's only real defense and they were toothless this year due to all of the rain.

Ha ha! Easy? You'd probably shoot 105 if you were lucky. I won't tell you what I shot, and experience there didn't help.

Played in a different season altogether. Makes a difference

Well, you're not a PGA pro. Yes, it was playing easy compared with a usual year. Did you even watch any of it? If you couldn't tell how easy it was playing by just watching even 10 minutes of it, you're not very observant or don't know much about the game. It was obvious. I've never seen Augusta greens that slow or hold like that.

LOL @ claiming to have played Augusta multiple times and not knowing enough about golf to know that this week was significantly easier than years past.

Its clear you don't understand the game. I've played the course three times, you've never played it. I'll trust my experience over your lack of it.

Don't be a fool. When I was stationed in Ft Gordon in Augusta

Don't be a fool. When I was stationed at Fort Gordon in Augusta they allowed many of us to serve as volunteers at the Masters. All volunteers are afforded a chance to play Augusta National in May following the tournament. I did it three times and consequently played the course three times.
Anyone who thinks that course is easy under any circumstances doesn't understand the game. There are many greens where you must hit it in a 10 yard circle or you will 3-putt every time. The undulations in the fairways would blow your mind. The speed of the greens, even a month after the Masters are unbelievable.

I have played the Old Course in St Andrews on 3 occasions. Scary and very humbling. Expect to add at least 10 strokes the first time you play. When I was teeing off the first time I played it, there was this old geezer watching me from the clubhouse window. I figured with my luck he was probably one of the guys that writes the rules of golf for the R&A so I better not fuck up the drive.

I'm no pro but I've been playing the game for > 50 years and I've probably watched at least that many Masters. I'm quite certain that I know at least as much about the game as you. But I've no doubt I'd struggle there. No idea what that has to do with our discussion, though.

I know that you like to mostly just troll and perhaps that's what you're doing now. Again ftr I'm saying that it played easier than usual for a Masters.. not that it looked easy for me or you. I'll try 1 more time.

Were the greens holding better this year than usual for a Masters?
Were the greens slower this year than usual for a Masters?

I wish I could play there. Other than Augusta, its my favorite course.

It was historic no matter what you think of course conditions.

It was late season and the course got plenty of rain plus the wind conditions were mild. It still doesn't diminish DJ's accomplishment.

My invite to play Augusta last week of March this year got nixed. Fucking Covid

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Lots of fun to play.

Boring as fuck to watch on TV.
