Everyone is listing Tiger and McIlroy and I think either of them will do well. Personally, I am going to be rooting for Howell III. Depending on which teacher he sees before the tournament - yes, he has two that fight with each other and it's fun to see the results - he certainly has the game and has been playing Augusta National since he was a kid. That's the tournament that means the most to him. Its just my hope though - I'm still picking Tiger.

I just pulled this one out of thin air. Justin Rose.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

! BuBbA wAtSoN !

who i think - tiger
who i want - bubba or boo
other picks for strong finishes, or at least i want greg norman to do well and freddie, ive come accross some interesting facts too, didnt realise rose has led the masters 3 times in the last 3 years after 1st round... and karlsson with the best average finish in all 4 majors last year..

i find it hard not to believe tiger will win, he can change gears when he wants to.... the masters will be his this year

Hype or not, it's tough not to think about Ogilvy after this last week. He was extremely precise with his irons and made damn near everything he looked at on some awfully tough greens.

I would say that Ogilvy will be a real contender, but his style of play fits open-ish, straight shot golf courses. He could be hot coming into Augusta, but a win isn't likely. He is more fit to win the US Open this year, as every year, hitting it long, straight, and high in the air.

My Dark Horse: Paul Casey. When he is hot, he's hot. The match play showed that he doesn't blow up on many holes and can go low, but he has been inconsistent on the PGA Tour. He has very solid finishes the last two years at T11 and T10. Contenders: My contenders are three very solid guys and really they could fit the Dark Horse in many ways. My first is Brandt Snedeker. Awesome in all majors last year and a really sad story about losing it on Sunday last year. Gotta root for him. Justin Rose has been a favorite player of mine, but his game really suffered last year with injury. He is always fun to watch, but he needs to play well to win come Sunday. Last, of course, is Philly Mick. If he can play with any sort of consistency, it's his. He has the talent, but he has to be consistent, and with his ridiculous 9 of last 10 top ten's and 6 of 10 top 5 he is the only man to beat... *Winner*: Tiger Woods (?) The man is the best golfer to walk the face of the earth. It you doubt him, you will fail. Let's see, he has won it 4 times, 3 of the last 10 times and has only finished outside of the top 5 twice in those years because of "off years." This week at Doral will set the tone going into Augusta, but if he wins and regains the confidence he has always had, there is no doubt who will win this year. Welcome back, Tiger, welcome back.

I think the top-5 will be made up of Tiger, Boo, Ernie, Geoff, and Greg. My only prediction for position is Greg Norman as runner-up. I would love to see Boo win.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.

      Which Irons?

      By iacas ·

      Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
