some pretty amazing group to follow !

The course is predicted to get significant rain over the next three days. How do you think this will effect certain players/final outcome?

I'd say softer greens at Augusta would level the playing field. The really good super fast green putters won't have as much advantage.

Mmmmmm. Love me some monkey gland sauce!

But soft fairways will favor the bombers.

Yes, thinking the same, but there are factors such as typical ball landing angle+spin and roll out.
Hope they don't do lift, clean, replace day one.

The commentators have noted that they are mowing the fairways toward the tee, so the balls not only will not roll much, but are likely to pick up mud when they land, if the fairways are still soggy. But I think they will invite Jane Fonda for membership before they allow ball in hand.

Not sure if this was posted, but if you want to watch live...Here's the link

 

Right now it's practice on the range. They have picture in picture as well so you can watch two different locations later and through the week.

 

 

Crap..nevermind.. it just ended.

Tiger said in his press conference that the greens were soft, but still very fast, and it was a weird combo.

 

So I think the greens will still be kept up to speed. People might just be able to land their balls outside of that "two yard area" they always talk about.

OMG, reasonable concession prices at a professional sports event!

 

$3 for a beer. That's like $8 at an Angel game!

The featured groups for the first 2 days are out (according to Bob Harig of ESPN): Scott, Van Pelt, Kaymer; Weir, Sned, Simpson; Cabrera, McIlroy, Watson; Stricker, Harrington, Cink; Singh, Westwood, Furyk; Mickelson, Mahan, Hanson.

 

It seems like we're not going to see anything of TW's round live, because the TV coverage starts at 3 pm (?).

Heres' the link to all the live coverage on themasters.com. Par3 challenge starts at 3pm (All times are EDT. Start and finish times for live coverage on Masters.com are approximations only.)

 

 

Props for selling fruit. While the offerings look more healthy than your typical concession stand, it's ironic that events that feature sports which require people to be in shape never offer the healthiest snack option. real food that is fruit.
 

 

Fast greens can make things interesting. It'll put Tiger's putting to a test.
