It's also because I don't care about watching old champions play the tournament.

They can be tiresome, but sometimes they surprise. Langer has been making the cut, but not this year because of his pickleball injury!😜

I also think weather is a factor they use limit the field size and also wear and tear on the course.

Patrick Reed chokes on a Pimento Cheese sandwich at the turn and is saved by Ashkay Bhatia doing the Heimlich maneuver.

Well, Tiger now has the record for Consecutive cuts made at the Masters.  That's kinda cool.

Now that I think about it, he should be out there slinging it, not laying off. He should be doing what he was doing when he was in top form. Hit the local Perkins, hook up with a few waitresses, call

Seriously?  They almost never show any shots of these guys beyond a token one or two?  How many actual shots of Sandy Lyle were you actually forced to watch?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Yeah, I get it, obviously Augusta leadership doesn't see it that way. They don't even see themselves as a PGA or heck, even a sporting event IMHO. More like a beacon of tradition that will hold steadfast on their promises of life time invites. They are not in a rush to kick out Gary Player anytime soon as cringing it is to watch his histrionics. I am glad they have become inclusive of women.

From my perspective, the Augusta membership has earned their right to be that way, being that they have this monster pedigree golf course. There's this charm in their stuffiness that no any other sporting event has been able to conjure up, much less uphold it for 90 years. Maybe Wimbledon. It's alright I guess, the tourney doesn't begin till Saturday when all these ceremonial dinos are reduced to non factors anyway.

I hope I get to attend one before I die.

Okay it took forever, but Bryson's birdie on 13 was impressive.

Yes. I'm surprised after how he seemed to be struggling early. Of course it  warmed up since early this morning so that probably helped him. I'm sure he will be sore tonight.

He's sore all day of every day, so yes, he'll be sore tonight. 😄

Tiger played better than I feared, and his body has held up so far. Getting through Thursday and Friday at +1 in these conditions is a great accomplishment. His years of experience has surely helped navigate a windy Augusta.

It’s nice to see BDC finally playing well at Augusta. He’s a colorful player that I don’t mind having around.

I'm actually with you on not wanting to see the old timers there. I would put a 10-year limit on past champions, that way pretty much the oldest guy you're ever going to get there might be in his early to mid-50s. For those of you who ask what difference does it make, they're not taking a spot from anybody else, I just don't want to even know that they are there. I don't want to see their names on the leaderboard, even if it's all the way down next to a +27. I want them to stay home. Yes, I'm being an ass, but that's how I want it to be.

I’m actively saying “miss it” or “ hit it in the water” on every Dechamblow shot. Can’t stand the guy and his phony scientist schtick.

Greens seem to be rolling like US Open greens on Sunday. Can't baby them, can't firm them. I hate putting in general but I haaaaaaaaate being forced to play defensive survival putting. There is no joy.

The wind was some kind of bad this afternoon. Tiger at +1 looks pretty good at the half way point. Going to be a fun weekend.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
