Out of these three players,

Rory McIlroy

Jordan Spieth

Jason Day

Who do you think is going to shoot the lowerst score at the 2016 Masters?

I'm going with Rory. Spieth will be banned for yelling at this ball and Day will have two little kids by them and be sleep deprived ;-)

I'm going for Rory. He's been close this year. I think he's dedicated to getting that final major for the career grand slam.

that makes two of us... he is due to put that jacket on... in a way, it almost feels inevitable... plus he has suffered enough pain at the hands of the course, it is time that it rewarded him... :) actually, i think the only way he loses is if jason brings the game he had this week... and even then, i'd still give the edge to rory... if he is firing on all cylinders, he is still the best there is... the killer for jordan is that if both rory and jason bring their "a game" to augusta, their length advantage will come into play sooner or later... not that jordan is a singles hitter by any stretch of the imagination, but they are longer than him... just posted in another thread that the golf dream to get through the winter is for all 3 of them to hit augusta in top form with wins already in their pocket... please golf gods, make it so...

I voted Rory. I think Spieth and Day will hurt their ankles.

Wasn't Rickie in "the big three" just a few weeks ago? I have a feeling we are heading to an era of relative parity. Watson, Rose, DJ, Fowler, and some others will share the big tourneys equally. Not that many to go around, so each major will be a fight. Will be more exciting than just one or two dominant players, I think.

Hope this isn't leading up to a Tonya Harding situation, haha.

I'm in for Spieth. I think he's the best of the three and he's already won and nearly won at Augusta.

I say Rory wins the par-3 contest and we have a 56 page thread about whether he's won the career grand slam.

Spieth for me.  I just think the guy loves Augusta and the course sets up perfect for not only his game but he will always have a positive frame of mind playing there.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

I vote Spieth. It just seems so textbook and classic a guy like Spieth wins at Augusta, gets numerous green jackets, etc. Its like once you have Augusta figured out, you really have a leg up on everyone else.

2016 is like, light years away.

But, I'll still be on the Speith bandwagon.

#Underrated ;)

I think it's the winning of one major versus 2 or 3 majors. Really, Jason's great performances this year in the Majors (T28, T9, T2, 1) would be considered an amazing year for any golfer. I would be happy to see him pull off the Master's win next year. I just think this Master's is finally Rory's time. I get t he feeling he's going to be extra motivated now that he's been knocked of his perch at the top.

It would be awesome if all three of them were in contention on the back nine on Sunday. Three man playoff maybe ;)

I also vote for Spieth even though Day showed big possibility to win this PGA championship especially for putting but still needs to compete with other 2 big guys.

Young Spieth has consistency in any games in this year so that I can look forward to seeing more beautiful rounds of him to keep that mood.

I'm going with Spieth just because he's shown a lot of consistency lately, but I wouldn't wager any money on it.  Any of those three are perfectly capable of lighting it up on any given day.

Montreal is in Canada, not Northern Ireland last time I checked! :-)

I went with Spieth. The course fits his game a bit more. Distance is not such an advantage at Augusta.

Spieth.  He seems (so far) pretty consistent.

(I misread--ok, didn ' t read --the question or probably would have said Spieth b/c of his consistency, but since my vote is in and for Rory...) I'm going with the "It's hard to repeat" argument. Rory has played Augusta well and will be hungry after an off-season dreaming of majors not won and probably having a few kick-arounds with his friends.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
