i couldn't agree more.  this is the first year i actually preferred watching the round online instead of tv.  the round was so much more in depth, more caddy/player interaction as well as player/player interaction.  very cool.

I really don't know why I fail to just take this day off every year so that I can stay home and watch TV instead of reading about the tourney or logging onto the Masters site.

Dear Tiger, Please for once follow through on a good round with another one. Whatever you do, please don't go out and shoot a mediocre 73 after your 66. Use this round as a confidence boost and

Is Lee Trevino is considered one of the greats and he had no love for Augusta National. He finished in the top 10 a couple times, but it was the one major he really had no shot at winning. Q

I have phil, rory, and anthony kim as my top three in an 80 person pool, 10 bucks an entry. I guess I am doing okay but anthony kim really has to pick it up.

So what's the census, one under for Tiger after the first round a positive or negative thing? On one hand he missed a good amount of chances but on the other, he didn't blow up and he played some solid golf. I say positive. I mean overall his first round average is 72.something, so technically he's doing better than most times.

tiger changed his putter again. so who knows what will happen with his putting this weekend.

attention all.....did anyone else notice that a commentator got mixed up with Y.E. Yang and KJ Choi?? the guy kept saying Y.E. when it was obviously KJ. he did it twice in fact calling KJ by Y.E. and then there was some silence and then after the cameras went away, they resumed talking. maybe not a big deal, i don't know.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

Tiger has used this Nike method mallet for like the last 2-3 tournaments. I pretty much expect him to come to tournaments with it now,

Tiger has become predictable. He has one good round on Friday or Saturday, and pads it with a pedestrian showing in the other 54 holes. Thursday was an unspectacular round, and he'll surprise me if he can go lower than 71 more than once this week.

They did a really good job selecting pairings for more airtime. Between the pairings online (Mcilroy, Fowler, and Day) , Mickelson, Ogilvy, and Uihlein...And these mega bombers holding down the caboose with a good show all the way to the end. Looking forward to see how the course plays through the rest of the tournament, there are a lot of pretty difficult hole locations they can use.

Poor Martin hasn't done a good job defending his World No. 1 status in light of that "6 of top 7 players can go to the top of the rankings" talk before the event. He's not going to make the cut, which will only make things easier for his pursuers.

He was in it until the end last year, but IIRC he fell apart on the back nine.

AK just damn near whiffed one from the pine straw on 11. He drove it further into the straw and had to take an unplayable. Watching him is getting painful.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
