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 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.

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.

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.

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!

      Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DaveP043 ·

      I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DaveP043 ·

      For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
