Tiger appears to have lost all confidence.  Miguel was moving along nicely until he went kerplunk at 15.

I have never seen a pro ever kick his club. Wow, unbelievable!

Being that the lead is only -5, one could say that almost anyone that made the cut has a shot if they come up with a golden round tomorrow and get in the mix.

Go Freddie!

Go Bubba!

Go Rory! (I hope he knows I get a new driver if he manages to go -11 in the next two days!)

Thing is someone even in 30th will have to pass 30 players, and five or six others will have a good low round as well if it's out there, and so you might shoot 66 and still be T18.

Wow, I wonder where Tiger gets his tranquilizers? He just gave a very calm and low-key interview a couple minutes after playing an awful round. I thought he would be frying eggs on his forehead.

He looked like he was about to cry walking down the 18th fairway after he put it in the bunker, I think he was just emotionally spent.

It may be the first time I've ever known how he felt on the golf course. I usually get that look about mid-way through the back nine, though.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

He should try to remember that feeling, because that was the best bunker shot he's hit in three years.

Don't want to sound corny, but that's really cool. People can say what they want about his antics etc. But you've got to admire his work ethic, reminds me of a story i've heard about Nicklaus. I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently Saturday night in the 1986 masters he was on the range till dark, and we all know how that worked out.

I hope that if nothing else Tiger plays decent tomorrow, mathematically he's still in with a chance, but tee to green I don't know if he can get to the Bay Hill standards in one night that he'll need in order to stand a chance. Then obviously there's his putting...

That's how you win 14 majors.

I do apologize if this was already brought up but I was wondering what those tags players clipped on player's hats and sometimes shirts were. For those that don't know what i'm referring to, it's a small (maybe 1"x1"), blue square that bears the Masters logo. I see many of the players wearing them, including Kevin Na clipped to the side of his hat and Miguel Angel Jimenez on the buttons of his shirt. Is it a way of identifying the less notable players in the tournament for security purposes? I would have to assume that these would be somewhat collectable as well, but i haven't seen this system used in previous Masters.

Driver: FT Tour 9.5
Fairway woods: X-Fairway 3 and 5
Irons: : X-Forged '09 3-PW in Carolina Blue, Oklahoma Orange, and Wake Forest Green grips.
Wedges: X-Forged '09 54-14 and Vokey Spin-Milled 60-7
Putter: Odyssey Black Series #8

Preferred Ball: Z-star Tour Yellow

In the Pockets: Ball, Ecotee, Switchblade Divot Repair tool, Pencil w/ Eraser.

I don't know, but maybe the pins on the hats was for remembering Seve Ballistoros? His birthday would have been on next Monday.

Oh boy how about Phil, OMG he lit it up today. I'm glad he straightenend out his driver. He's right back in it baby!!!!

I still can't beleive ole Freddy is leading. Nice going Freddy, well done!!!

Rory had a nice round too. And how about Bubba, he did great today again.

Oh and poor Tiger. Man I don't know what happen to him, but he was playing good, then when he missed that short putt, it all fell apart.

I actually felt sorry for him. He really played it off too, when he had a quick chat after his round. I really thought he would have 4 pretty good rounds. I think he's got too many swing thoughts going on, he's playing golf swing, instead of golf.

I know, playing golf, we've all had those days, where your swing just goes, and there nothing you can do to put the clubface on the ball.

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha 10.5* 

3WD:  Callaway Big Bertha 15* / X2 Hot H4 Hybrid
Irons:  Callaway Apex 4-PW Project X 5.5 shafts

    • I'm on the side of thinking that something is not right here and should be reviewed. Let say that their course rating is pretty low, so their index is higher than it should be. But if they always play at their home course they are probably going to play bad away from home so it should even that advantage out or at least lower it down.  Also you can say that they are amazing players under pressure and very skilled in match play format, but at the end of the day variance and luck is always going to play a big role between 2 players of similar handicap. Let's assume that player A have 75% chance of winning a match over player B that only have 25%, there is no way that a player's skill in match play can make such a difference in a match outcome but I prefer to use a number that is hard to argue. (For me.. 60/40, or 65/35 at most) The odds of winning 21 straight matches with that  generous odds are less than 1% (or 1 in 420). Is this proof that they are "cheating" or something, of course not but is evidence enough to note that something is not right and should be reviewed further.     
    • UPDATE.....Please read We still have time to add more golfers to both days, June 1st & June 2nd At this time he have reservations for 20 golfers on each day At this time we have 17 for Saturday at EagleSticks - Room for 3 more At this time we have 16 for Sunday at the Virtures - Room for 4 more Please post ASAP if interested. I need to give a more final count May 17th. They will accommodate a fluke last minute change but lets try to iron this out to they can sell tee-times if we do not need them. It will also be hard to add tee times. COST: If you are golfing both rounds AND staying in the "Stay & Play" hotel the cost is $252 This includes Golf on Saturday & Sunday and Saturday night in the hotel (See below for hotel info.) If you want the "Stay & Play" I need to arrange that. If you ARE NOT staying in the hotel the cost is as follows: Sat. June 1st @ EagleSticks = $80 Sun. June 2nd @ Virtues = $120 You will notice the "Stay & Play" deal is hotel for only $52 extra which is a great deal.  If you want in on that let me know! Saturday tee times are: 10:15, 10:24, 10:33, 10:42 and 10:51 I will try to get those spending Friday Night in the hotel in the early groups to allow others more time to drive in. Sunday tee times are 9:00 9:09, 9:18, 9:27am and 9:36 Saturday after the round we will have an area at EagleSticks to gather for prizes, food & drink.   Sunday after the round is currently un-planned If we can guarantee 16 we can reserve a small room but there would be a hard charge @ $20 per head at the Virtues and we would have a simple buffet Likely we just grab a beer a dog and a table as available. Let me know if you think a more formal plan for Sunday after the round is needed. The "Stay & Play" hotel has changed Double Tree in Newark 50 North 2nd Street Newark, OH 43055 740-322-6455 If you need a hotel for either Friday or Sunday nights you will need to book on your own. I was give an estimate of @ $249 for the Double Tree and do not know if there are better offers elsewhere. I will be arriving Friday, hoping for mid-late afternoon and would love to meet up for dinner with any that are in town. Time & Location TBD Below are the names & have confirmed: Would really love to get more golfers.  Reply if interested.  Time is running down. Below is updated with best information I have. PLEASE add/delete your tag as necessary. Saturday, June 1st at EagleSticks: @iacas @StuM @DaveP043 @billchao @boogielicious @bkuehn1952 @saevel25 @David L Yskes @Hardspoon @georgep @rwolfe @ChetlovesMer @CarlSpackler @Slice of Life @Ryguy22 @DinnerTime @dudu3000 Here is what I have for the "Stay & Play" with Hotel for Sat.

    • The dreaded 6 o'clock shadow. 🤣
    • 47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭
    • Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.
