Well what do you think? Should there be an age limit or if you win they can wheel you up to hit the Ball?

because of the hallowed Bobby Jones/ Masters tradition and the importance that most golfers put on this major, I don't think age will ever be a factor in whom the club invites to partcipate. Wether or not it is a symbolic first drive or a last walk through the storied venue, the Masters for most of us is a sacred and anticipated tradition and those champions that can still honor it will always be welcomed. I hope anyway. The ghosts of golfing greatest can probably be seen roaming around amen corner long after the cameras and crowds have left. I can't wait to see golfings legends of old and the legends of today walk Agusta and allow us to enjoy it with them.

It's the only tournament that has a lifetime exception and I like that. If Charles Coody want to show up and shoot 90, that's his business. The real legends have called it quits, but I can see Gary Player until he's dead. I believe this year it is 50 for him, and I'm sure he wants the record, which he will break next year.

What's in my bag:
Driver : R7, 10.5 degree, stock stiff shaft
16 Degree Hybrid - Cobra Baffler DWS, with stiff stock shaft
20 Degree Hybrid - Cobra Baffler, with Accra Shaft, Stiff
26 Degree Hybrid - Cobra Baffler, with Accra Shaft, Stiff6 - PW - Bridgestone CG Mid, Dynamic Gold LiteWedges : TBA...


Having the past winners around has always been a big part of the Masters, perhaps even the biggest part of all. Let them play for as long as they want to.

Well what do you think? Should there be an age limit or if you win they can wheel you up to hit the Ball?

I wouldn't like there to be a limit. That having been said, it won't affect whether or not I watch.

It's too bad Jim Thorpe didn't win the Masters at some point in the past. Put him on Augusta this week and I'll bet he doesn't do too bad. He'd just have to get used to walking courses during pro rounds again.

I also don't think there should be an age limit. The past champions have always been a big part of the Masters and I like that. Also, it's always cool when one of the "old" guys gets off to a good start, ala Ben Crenshaw last year.

    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
