Doesn't Zalatoris use a long putter with an arm-lock grip?

Yep.

yes, good point.  It's arm lock, but with claw grip so wasn't sure how to classify that, I went with claw

Just a dude walking with his jacket. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Dude, I would have run up and thanked him for winning me a hundred and seventy five bucks in the office pool.

I love that the broadcast is available to stream on the Masters site. Don't have to remember to DVR, can watch it from anywhere pretty much.

I can't stop thinking about this picture. I was today years old when I found out that the Butler Cabin interviews were done in what amounts to a TV studio in the basement.

Who were the woeful "longs"?  Adam Scott, Bernhardt Langer?  Who else?

Well...Langer is an anchorer with an asterisk.😉

Another thing that came out of watching this year, I don't watch as much golf as I used to anymore, is what are these companies I've never heard of. PEGA. slync.io, UKG, etc... It just reminded me of all those companies whose complex and boring software you have to work with and those training courses that make you go ZZZZZzzz in 3... 2... 1...

I wonder if any of these pro golfers know what supply chain management remotely is, other than not doing anything controversial for a big paycheck.

Gary Players son has now been banned from Augusta National & the Masters. Embarrassing 

 

 

Gary Player’s son ‘banned from the Masters’ for perceived guerrilla marketing

---

As the cameras focused on Lee Elder during last week’s honorary starter’s...

What a piece of sh*t. Hands up if you give a crap what type of golf ball Gary Player uses.

I wish I'd started a thread where I said I thought it would be "cool" to know what ball Player uses and did anyone know.

Seriously, contrast that with that beautiful moment with Matsuyama's caddy.

“The only thought from that point was that it would be cool for fans to know what ball my dad was teeing off with. That’s where it ends. If I’ve hurt people’s feelings then I’m truly sorry and hope they will forgive me.”

I thought I heard somewhere that the green jackets stay on site at Augusta...is that not the case? I thought that was a weird rule, but just assumed it was true

Not for the champion (until the next Masters).

I'd rather not see Gary there too. He isn't a good ambassador for the game, and despite his wins, shouldn't be taking a starter role IMO.

What Wayne did is a disgrace that will be seen in almost every image of Lee Elder from this monumental moment. It really is a shame.

I honestly don’t know much about the guy (other than that he seems to be full of himself), but this little stunt is in obviously poor taste. He also came off like an ignorant curmudgeon on his tree rant during Tiger’s Payne Valley match interview.  I’m usually a big fan of tradition, but I honestly wouldn’t miss him if they cut him from the opening ceremony. I don’t see where his presence adds anything.

Gary Player has spent the last 40 years (at least) trying to convince everyone (including himself) that he is part of a holy trinity of golf" Player, Palmer, Nicklaus.

He is a complete liar, f***wit and cheat.

Even his exercise regime was lampooned by Nicklaus as a lie.

I didn’t pick matsuyama, but really happy for him. To be the wealthiest dude in sports, and extremely happy it’s a Japanese win 2 weeks in a row after the amateur win last week.  amazing that...
