It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try). 

Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

So what sort of Irish themed meal is Rory going to serve up? We usually try to make something close to it.

Last year was fun. Hopefully we have another dramatic finish.

Bangers and mash. In keeping with the golf theme.🫢

Dublin Coddle (Irish Sausage and Potato Stew is my guess.

I would go with haggis, but that is Scottish.

That wine list is wild. The d'Yquem is only about $600 a bottle (at a liquor store you're lucky enough to find it in). The rest are 2-3 times that much.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      I held off posting to this because I wasn't sure what my home course for 2026 was going to be.  There are two courses, which I'll call A and B, that could be candidates.  My friend who is able to get me tee times at A is moving in a few months to where I won't be able to play A anywhere near as often.  That's too bad, both because my friend is moving away and also because I like the course (it's pretty much the only well-maintained and reasonably-priced course in a short drive from me, plus hanging out with my friend).  B is much further, I used to live near there, and while I kept club membership, I haven't played in club events and it's hard to get a tee time, plus it's an hour drive away.  I'm going to get back into club events soon so maybe that re-becomes my home course in more than just name.  I'll track my BB for those two courses separately as well, and if one becomes the clear home course, I'll make it the home course (and remove it from the away composite). In any case, I've had far more birdies (5, but one hole repeated) this year in 5 rounds than I anticipated, especially since I don't fire at flags.  These are, so far: * February 15, Navy GC, birdied holes 2 and 5.  What a fun opening that day was:  par birdie triple par birdie.   Both birdies were the result of a forward pin where I was aiming well past it, a habit I picked up from Erik + Mike's notes from a recent Newport Cup, and hit the shot poorly, leading to it coming up short... right at the pin.   * March 15, same course, hole 9, a par-3.  Pin was right in the middle of the green, I hit at the middle of the green, and wouldn't you know it?  I sank a 6' putt for birdie. * March 16, same course;  birdied hole 5 again and managed to also birdie hole 18 (also a forward pin, also aimed a little past it, also didn't catch it perfect and ended up with a 6' birdie putt that I made).  That was a great day, 11 GIR including 9 in a row (holes 4 through 12 inclusive, plus hitting the greenside fringe in regulation on 13).

      interesting your comments about quail ridge, I've e driven past it dozens of times, might have to try it some day.  you'll love Southern Pines, the greens are crazy, the renovations are good, and things just keep improving there.

      I shot my best ever round of 3 over 75 the other day, 5 birdies a couple double bogeys and four bogeys. Crazy wild round honestly but I ended birdie birdie and chipped in at the last!
