I think it's about time to start predicting who's gonna win the Masters. I wouldn't say I'm gonna go out on a limb, but I have to say Luke Donald. I pick him just because he has looked strong not only in the Match Play, but in all tournaments he has played so far. Another reason is that the course suits him. He has an erratic driver with his pull-hook, but you can get in trouble at Augusta and still come out(look at both Tiger and Phil). Either him or some other strong player right now like Kevin Na, Bill Haas, or Mark Wilson.

It's been 12 years since a European last won with Olazábal. With the european players making an impact the last couple of years, I would like to see one of them win it.

Don't know who's entering, but someone inside the top 10 on the OWGR perhaps. I won't bet on Tiger until he gets his swing fixed.

Fat Phil one more time before fading into the sunset.

 Sub 70 849 9* driver

:callaway:  Rogue 3 & 5 woods, Rogue X 4 & 5 hybrids

:tmade: SIM 2 6-gap irons

:cobra:  King snakebite grove wedges 52 & 58*

 :ping: Heppler ZB3 putter

 

 


I'd have to go with Graeme McDowell right now. It's early yet though.

In my FT bag I have:
D3 9.5
XHot 15D 3W
Rescue Hybrids 22 and 17 degree
Apex Edge 5-E 52, 56 and 60 ProV1X


Would like to see Ryan Moore win one.  However, Mickelson would be my choice.

Driver: Cobra S2 9.5 Fubuki 73 Stiff | Wood: Titleist 909H 17 Aldila Voodoo Stiff | Irons: Titleist ZB 3-5, ZM 6-PW DG S300 | Wedges: Titleist Vokey SMTC 50.08, 54.11, 60.04 DG S200 | Putter: Scotty Cameron Fastback 1.5 33" | Ball: Titleist Pro V1x


Trying to look at 'Masters consistency' as well as 'current consistency' - if I had to pick from both tours, I'm going for either Hunter Mahan or Ian Poulter

TaylorMade R9 460 9.5°
TaylorMade R9 13°
TaylorMade RAC TP MB 3-PW
TaylorMade RAC TP 54°.10 / 58°.10
Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2

I'm hoping Rory makes a run but I'll tell you 1 thing, I bet Tiger is on the 1st page sunday.

Driver: Titleist 910d2

Irons: Mizuno MP4s kbs tour shafts

Vokey Wedges 50 54 & 58

Putter: Scotty Cameron Fastback

Balls: Pro v1x 


Outside shot is Tiger i think another top 5 will be there. I will be rooting for him.

Bubba is who I'm liking right now though


My Master's predictions:

10)  Jim Nantz will induce uncontrolled vomiting in a small percentage of the CBS viewership with his sickly sweet platitudes at the start of Sunday's telecast

9)  Phil will save par with a 9-iron from the carpet inside Butler Cabin after a very errant tee shot.   But he will double bogie the next hole when he uses two drivers at the same time to try and drive the green on #11 "White Dogwood".   He will ultimately finish alone in 6th place

8)  Using the Konika Minolta BizHub Swingvision Camera, Peter Kostis will incorrectly diagnose the cause of nearly every player's miss to the right.   Or the left.

7)  Nick Faldo will begin a sentence "Back in my playing days....", and do the same 297 times during the telecasts

6)  Teenage girls mob a local Augusta Waffle House when it is reported that Rickie Fowler is there for breakfast.   However, it is discovered that it was not actually Rickie but that a local road department work truck had inadvertently dropped a traffic cone in the parking lot

5)  While watching JB Holmes, David Feherty indicates that his slow play is only slightly less exciting to watch than two snails going through a mating dance

4)   In a taped interview, Billy Payne will say something pompous (OK, not hard to make that prediction)

3)  Rory McElroy is seen sending text messages bragging about his newest Ferrari to his mates back home while contending on the back nine on Sunday, but slips to 11th place after one of his friends texts back that a Veryon is still faster and Rory still doesn't have the fastest car in Northern Ireland

2)  Tiger Woods will flirt with the cut line but ultimately squeak through and finish in a tie for 28th

and....

1)  Dustin Johnson finally overcomes his bad luck and mental breakdowns and hold it together to win the Masters by 1 stroke, and his GF, the "two and only" Natalie Gulbis dashes across the 18th green not to give him a hug & a kiss but to actually see what it feels like to stand on an 18th green after winning something important


You're a living god!

    • Day 4 (13 Mar 25) - Easy session today, some work with the 6&7 irons - full swings into the net, followed but bump and runs.  Toss in some pitch work with the Pw with the grandson. 
    • Day 34: 3/13/25 Putting through 50 mm gates. Almost a perfect session.
    • Hands go out and roll too much, which is why the backswing has trouble staying short. The short swing is too long. Then, you know what to do from there. Throw it.
    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.
