Masters Online & TV Coverage

[NorCalGolfer]

I've been hearing and reading a lot of bitching and moaning about scoring in Majors and I've been disagreeing from the start. And today is why. I know it makes for great story if someone like Larry Mize comes in and wins. Or someone like Chad Campbell to win with a final score of -30.:exaggeration: But it's f*cking boring. We all know PGA Tour pros can fire off insane rounds, but save that sh*t for Childrens Miracle Network Classic. This is f*ckin Augusta National and I REFUSE to to watch every player shoot -10 and above. Last years was perfect. This is just gonna be a mockery of what I think a major should be. HARD!

BORING!

I have been watching all day on Masters.com and it is IMPRESSIVE live coverage. You can select up to 5 players to get updates on and have live video with picture in picture.

It is great Check it Out!

Yeah real fun, let's watch the same holes over and over and get pop-up alerts on great shots that I DIDN'T SEE! lol

I havent had any pop ups and you get to see the ENTIRE field come through the greatest holes in golf. God what a terrible thing!!!

Yeah, the coverage is probably great for those allowed to watch it...

Why wouldnt you be ALLOWED to watch it. I didnt join the site or anything I just logged on and I was there.

You're quite grumpy today. Don't worry about it, the wind is supposed to pick up tomorrow.

I agree masters.org is great. I actually prefer it to watching it on TV. Basically the choice is between watching a few golfers (tiger and 3-5 others)play all holes or watch everybody play a few holes. I'd rather see how everybody is playing a few holes, you can compare strategy and get a sense for what is good or bad.

TV coverage blows. Keep track of how many shots you see in between commercial breaks, I've done it before and it's shockingly low, sometimes 2, sometimes 10. You will be shocked at how much they have filler garbage on tv. Masters.org is the way to go.

it's actually both

yeah you are presuming this scoring will continue. These are ideal scoring conditions that will not be around all weekend. I personally liked it today but I agree if it's like this all weekend that would not be cool. I have no problem with it being 10-15 under though.

Oh I live out in the boonies and I get it so I figured everyone else could too. Sorry.

I doubt the winning score is much better than the -7 currently in the lead. It might get up to -9 or -10, but the wind will pick up eventually. Add to that the fact the pin placements will continue to get tougher as well.

I agree. I think it was a little overdone. I expect to see them tighten it up a little bit tomorrow.

My boy Badds is up there. So pumped. I picked him back on Monday.

What are you, 17? I think it's possible to complain without the hardly concealed obscenities. Really, grow up a bit.

Notice how when they are edited out, as above, we still get the point.

for a major the winning score should be at most 2/3 under par and should be actually around level! majors are supposed to be difficult! NOT with a player having the chance to break a course record of 9 under!
