You have to wonder what would have happened if Phil had taken his medicine on 4 and reteed, instead of hacking it around in the bushes. As good as he is, he might have gotten out of there with a four instead of a six, and been in the playoff. Chamblee went on and on this morning about how Phil has won more Masters than Tiger in the last few years because he is fearless, but between this and his blowing the US Open at Winged Foot, I think there's a very fine line between "fearless" and "reckless." Bad break for Oostie getting that albatross; it probably threw him off his game. :-)

Tiger was equally interested in how next year's champions dinner is going to turn out: https://twitter.com/#!/TigerWoods/status/189140779606872064 @TigerWoods: Congrats @bubbawatson. Fantastic creativity. Now how creative will the champions dinner be next year?

T Minus Ten until someone claims that's just Tiger trying to remind everyone that he too is a Masters Champion.

The welcoming party had me feeling sick.

Very happy for Bubba , though.

THey should put a plaque on the ground there.

I'd love to actually know that I could walk to the exact spot if ever I go there.

I would bet that next year, every player will walk down there during their first practice round to have a look.

I must say this year on tour has been fantastic! Congrats to Bubba I jumped out of my seat when he pulled of that snap hook at 10. Just a thing of beauty!

Funny, Tiger hit dozens of snap hooks and no one was jumping out of their seats. Except the people that his ball was flying towards. :-P

Nor anything they eat in France.

I heard his wife joke in an interview that Bubba might just get In-n-Out burgers. If they don't have those in France, they should. :-D

I loved how Bubba said in his post-tournament interview that he and Tiger play some practice rounds together and heckle each other. Tiger used to tell Bubba that the only W Bubba would have was in his name. Bubba would fly it past Tiger's ball and say, "I know you wish you could hit it like that."

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
