Watched Jack Nicholas and Gary Player this morning do the honorary tee off. Jack did some shoulder warmups and comments before teeing off after Gary Player did his tee off. Great players and a beautiful course. Heard some announcer jerks saying that with tiger back this was the most anticipated Master's ever. Maybe if the announcers could not be heard saying anything other than who was on the screen, and what they just did it would be great! Show the beautiful course, and say the scores, the shots, and then shut up! Jim | ||

Some of my in-laws went to the first practice round and it looked beautiful. Unfortunately the weather doesn't look so good for the weekend, particularly Saturday. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Jack's grandson, age 15, was his caddy on the Par 3 event yesterday. The caddy gets to take a shot on the last hole. The young man made his first-ever hole-in-one with the shot, after which Jack said he didn't know if he'd ever had a more special day on the golf course. They'll both remember that for a long time. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

They're recapping every shot Tiger's taken so far today. Must not be anybody else playing in this tournament. BTW, he's +3 with four or five holes to go. _____________________________ "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

Normally the Masters is must watch tv, but I presumed that this year would be the Tiger Woods show. Tiger hitting a shot. Tiger lining up a shot. Tiger walking down the fairway. Tiger sipping water. Tiger leaning on his putter, etc., etc. I haven't decided how much I'll watch. My gripe is not about Tiger Woods, but rather the tv coverage. Maybe he'll miss the cut so the weekend rounds might be enjoyable. | |||

I really do not like Jim Nantz, the CBS golf announcer and he gets especially poor marks at the Masters. He is so saccharine and obsequious. Turn McCord and Feherety loose on those stuffed shirts at Augusta National.  I enjoy the tournament, but they treat it like Easter Services at the Vatican. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I believe McCord was banned by the Masters people several years ago for comparing the greens to bikini wax or something along those lines. | |||
|
| Little ray of sunshine |
Indeed he was, in '94. he said they had given the 17th green a bikini wax. He also made a comment about body bags for players who missed approach shots. That is why he should be brought back. It would only be a matter of time before Feherty said something similar. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Poor Sergio Garcia, 3 shots in a row roll back into the water on 15. All good shots, just too much back spin. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." - John Wayne in "The Shootist" | |||

Putting for 14 I believe. That'll pretty much end his weekend. Too bad, I like Sergio. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

so much butthurt over Tiger being the biggest story of the week. sorry some of you guys don't like it, but he's still the biggest story in golf and he will be the biggest story of the week until the weekend. he is one of the top 2 golfers of all time, ya know. and he's back to +1 on a day that nobody is really lighting the course on fire. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Looks like Finau's ankle isn't presenting too much of a problem. He's off to a great start. | |||

Too bad they can't just cover the tournament, instead of drooling over Tiger. __________________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.

Sergio is very talented, but also inconsistent, and, even worse, he has a bad head. When he begins to go wrong, he often goes out of control. The point is that Woods shouldn't be as big a story as he is. He is a story, but the coverage is out of proportion to his importance in the current world of golf. The media hypes him because non-golfers are interested in him, to the detriment of more relevant coverage. The fish is mute, expressionless.

The first one to go in the water was his 6th shot. Not sure how he got into trouble before. See below. Five in the water. https://www.si.com/golf/2018/0...ht-shots-water-video __________________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.

Well, you could maybe say that about the first two that spin back into the water, but at three, four, and five - they aren't good shots. He kept making the same mistake. He is a real life Roy McAvoy. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
