Masters 2012

[Mr.Squatch]

Any golfers or golf fans on BS? Masters begins tomorrow, who's your top 3 picks?

We have an inter-company pool going, pick 3 winner takes all. 10 gbp to enter, so far it's up to about 2000 to the winner ($3400). Our Scotland office is very into it, the president of the company chastised me yesterday in an inter-company email for not picking any European players. I told him they don't stand a chance playing in the states since they all have metric balls. He didn't laugh.

My top 3 picks are:
1. Hunter Mahan
2. Phil Mickelson
3. Keegan Bradley

Then went on to predict

5. Donald
6. Tiger
9. Westwood
12. Rory

I'm SOOOOOOO glad I'm not going this year.

It's a mess. Traffic is horrendous. Airports are filled to capacity. Can't get a room within 90miles of the course. etc.

On the other hand, every time I've been, it's been short notice. Sometimes as short as I get a phone call Friday evening, and I'm in Augusta Saturday morning.

It was very cool the first time. Now, I prefer my lazy-boy, big screen, & many cold beers in the comfort of my air conditioned home.

Hmm.i lived in Florida for years and never grew tired of going to Ponte Vedra
for the players championship.But I lived 15 miles from it,so I guess that makes
it a bit easier

I miss the players championship,but I don't miss Florida.

3. Bob Hope

 

[tbone]

1. Mickelson
2. McIlroy
3. Mahan

I was able to go to a practice day in 2004. I enjoyed looking at the course and appreciating how undulating the fairways and greens are as opposed to television views. TV makes them look flat. I could not believe how every line of grass, like around sand traps, was cut to an exact dimension.

Seeing famous people is great, and being at a huge event is a lot of fun too. Like you said, seeing it on tv gives you no perspective. If you can appreciate greenskeeping and landscaping, it really is amazing how perfect everything is. I can't manage to keep 1/4 acre looking like it was kept up by anyone other than a blind person lol. Tons of drunken shenanigans every time I've been, you don't see much of that on tv either. Good times

1. McIlroy
2. Tiger
3. Mickelson

Never been, probably won't be able to watch either

 

[Mr.Squatch]

Stenson out of nowhere wth? Two eagles and two birdies in the first 10 holes of the masters? haha nice.

 

[jmanrogers]

As long as Tiger Woods doesn't win it, I could care less! Nothing against Tiger, I just love rubbing it in my friends face!!

 

[slowhandlukem]

keep us posted.I don't have the Golf channel

I don't think it will be on NBC,CBS this weekend either.

 

[Mr.Squatch]

http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/index.html you can watch most of it damn near live on the website. course looks great, little windy.

 

[Mr.Squatch]

Stenson hits two eagles and two birdies to lead the pack by a long ways at 10, seven under!!! Then a couple pars, then a couple bogeys, then absolutely shits the bed on 18 and shoots an 8 on a par 4. Back down to 1 under in about 30th place. First half was the best day of his life. I be he's somewhat suicidal at this point, lol. If you haven't seen any of the coverage, watch on masters.com live tomorrow. The course conditions are incredible and the HD coverage is amazing.

My favorite was always Happy Gilmore. I really like that driver he uses.

 

[Mr.Squatch]

Let's go Mahan! Step it up phil

 

[JLouv]

Phil is on a tear!!

He will be impossible to beat Sunday if he keeps it up..

 

[Mr.Squatch]

Yep, there is definitely a lot of benefit to being a seasoned veteran at Augusta. Proud of my kid, still tons of opportunity for anyone to win it tomorrow. What about Stenson? He has played some of the best golf in tournament history. If you count out his last 5 holes on day one (8 on 18? lol) he'd be way ahead of the pack. Great golf by all, amazing course prep and unbelievable weather. This is how the Masters should be. Can't wait for Sunday!

 

[Mr.Squatch]

Ho Lee Crap what a second half. Great weekend of golf, never ceases to amaze me. Now I gotta get out and swing the sticks to contend next year!

Congrats to Bubba Watson, he deserves to win for sure.

Hopefully now he can afford a haircut.

I'm not happy he won (I hate one hit wonders). I'm thrilled tiger sucked. So I guess it's a wash overall.
