The Masters

Sounds like you want to go after a nice soaking rain, so that the course plays soft...

The greens have a plumbing system and they can suck the moister out of them. Several courses on the tour now have these system so heavy rains do not effect them.

I love watching the Masters. But my god the people who run it need to lighten up. They make the announcers say "patrons". That is so ridicules. But the course is so amazing looking. Plus I like that they have made it tougher. If they ever decide to really grow the ruff it would be un playable. But all the pros would just complain. Can't wait till the British Open. Carnoustie is one of the toughest courses in the world.

Its tradition and their goal is to have the masters keep the same feel as it has over the years. I like the fact that they hold their heritage and keep things the same as it adds to the feel of the Masters. I know that anouncers are kind of dumb the way they act but it wouldn't be any fun if we couldn't joke on them. The British Open is another Major which has stood the test of time and left the traditions in place. Not everything in life has to change.

I just heard on the Golf Channel that Tiger Woods may have tweaked his back on the 13th today. This is like breaking news, and they were talking how it may have been a lower back injury.

Anyone heard anything?

I haven't heard that, but when with a bad back, I bet Tiger can outdrive most of the field.

I also wouldn't mind Chucky 3 sticks taking home the green jacket, however, it would be amazing to see Tiger going into the U.S. Open with a shot at another Tiger Slam. Then, imagine the buzz around the British, they'd be talking about him possibly taking the first 3 and making a serious run at the Grand Slam. I gotta pull for Tiger.

AH, there it is...about what I expected. $80.
