Lee Elder to serve as honorary starter at 2021 Masters

---

Lee Elder, the first Black golfer to compete in the Masters, will be an honorary starter for the 2021 tournament. Additionally, Augusta National...

 

Ok....I'll put on my flame suit.....I'm not really loving this decision.....Elder hasn't even finished in a top 10 in any major....IMO....an honorary starter nowadays should be a player who accomplished a lot in golf, won a Masters, etc

I don't like the guy...but I think the next honorary starter should be Tom Watson.

I think the choice of Mr. Elder is a good one.  At first I mistook "Starter" to mean the guy that says, "Now on the first tee, playing out of XXX Country Club, XXX XXXXX."  But a Masters starter tees off on the first hole to kick things off.  I wonder how his swing is at 86?

It will rain on and off for all 4 days which favors the long hitters.

Not necessarily. Zach Johnson won there in a year when "the long hitters were favored."

DeChambeau going with 45.5 inch driver and adjusting to 4.5 degrees from 5, so not sure about loft.

Sans 48" driver, Bryson to test ANGC's limits

Bryson DeChambeau may not be rolling out the 48-inch driver shaft this week at the Masters, but he still figures to test Augusta National's limits.

No more ten-shot rule at the Masters.

It's weird having The Masters this late in the year, but man am I excited to see how it turns out. I imagine the course might be in a different condition than usual, but it's still just such a unique event. This is one tournament where I'll miss the usual crowds, since the crowds at Augusta aren't the ones shouting about mashed potatoes.

Being that it's mid-November this would be the one Masters where that would actually make sense.  Or "Stuffing!!!!!!!"  or "Cranberry Sauce!!!!!'

(But not "Yams!!!) blech. 😉

Augusta National sees changes ahead of Masters

---

Augusta National featured some changes ahead of the first edition of the Masters in November.

• In various spots, clusters of trees have been added. One interesting location is beyond the fairway bunkers on the 18th. At least five trees have been added, making the idea of blasting a tee shot over those bunkers less advantageous. Could this be in response to Bryson DeChambeau 1, who could easily bomb his tee shots that distance.
• There is also another cluster of trees farther up the right side of the fairway at the par-5 13th. It may prevent those who think they can just blast the ball into the 14th fairway from the tee into thinking they can do so.

I wonder why there are no tee times in the 9 and 10 o'clock hours???  Oh, just figured it out... might have to do with groups turning...

And I don't anticipate being up at 4AM in the morning to watch Lucas Glover tee off.

Uhhhhh....you can't see what Lee Elder "accomplished"?

And then you say you don't like the guy but instead you like an absolute dick like Tom Watson?

Yes, I understand that Lee had racial issues he had to encounter playing on the PGA tour and the 1st Black golfer to play in the Masters...but IMO...this is just another "token' gesture by ANGC...yes the same club that wouldn't allow Blacks to play or become a member but had no issues having a crew of Black caddies.

You read my post wrong...the guy I don't like is Tom Watson...not Lee.

Never like Watson and it was further reinforced at the 2010 USSO at Sahalee.....it was late in the day....very very few spectators...maybe 4 people...Watson comes out of the clubhouse and instead of taking a step to walk around a guy to enter a golf cart that would take him to the parking lot....Watson shoves a guy who was standing in front of the golf cart.
