FWIW, WatchESPN.com has streaming coverage online (probably only in the U.S.) starting tomorrow at 3PM EST. Masters.com will have several feeds: two featured groups, Amen Corner, the 15th and 16th (those all start between 10:45 and 12), and "Masters In-Depth" starting at 3.

In my bag:

Amazing how lucky Tiger was.  The players were greater back in Jack's day, then Tiger won 14 majors against weak competition, and now the players are great again.  Just let Tiger get on a major roll a

The featured groups for the first 2 days are out (according to Bob Harig of ESPN): Scott, Van Pelt, Kaymer; Weir, Sned, Simpson; Cabrera, McIlroy, Watson; Stricker, Harrington, Cink; Singh, Westwood, Furyk; Mickelson, Mahan, Hanson. It seems like we're not going to see anything of TW's round live, because the TV coverage starts at 3 pm (?).

Tiger tees off at 10:35AM tomorrow. Give him 4 and a half hour on the course and he's just finished when the coverage starts at 3PM. On the second round he's in the second to last group out at 1:42PM. Coverage starts 3PM, so you'll get to see most of his round. Those with access to the live coverage from the Masters website can watch him on the featured holes.

Heard one of the dumbest things ever this a.m. on talk radio.  Discussing Masters coverage, the argument was that there are two tournaments going on:  what the field does, and what Tiger does.  I'll more or less agree with that.

But then the guy goes off saying that Tiger is like Mike Tyson when he came back, continuing to dominate media coverage when he had no chance of winning anything.  Seriously?  No chance of winning anything?  I'm not ready to proclaim that it's 2000-2001 again, but Tiger is clearly playing well, and certainly is in the top 5 this week, and every week after, of "favored to win"--regardless of how you measure that.

Who was the genius who decided more people wanted to see Weir than Tiger?

So with all the wind they'll be seeing the first couple days, anyone think they'll be guys at a disadvantage now?  I think McDowell and Oosthuizen might make a little extra noise considering they've been playing well of late and can play in the wind, Rory jumps up my list some more considering the damp conditions.

Any big names that don't play the best in the wind to rule out?  Thoughts?

What winds are we talking about? Typically, players that shape the ball a lot will struggle more. Like Bubba.

Don't think I've ever watched The Masters in bad weather. Haven't seen too many of them, but it's supposed to be sunny at Augusta!

[QUOTE]AUGUSTA, Ga. – A violent storm blew through the area about 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, uprooting several trees at Augusta National but causing no damage to the field of play. Wind gusts of 38 mph were recorded on the property and an inch-and-a-half of rain fell on the already damp course. A storm on Monday night also produced a half-inch of precipitation. The weather forecast calls for more of the same on Thursday and Friday. The first round of the Masters should start under dry skies but storms become likely by early afternoon and will continue into the evening and throughout Friday morning . Some of the storms could be strong and bring heavy rain and gusty winds. The chance of precipitation is 70 percent on Thursday and 60 percent Friday. Winds on Friday could gust to 25 mph .[/QUOTE] 25 mph winds can cause some havoc. Advantage for those with an early tee time Thursday and late Friday, if the weather turns out like that.

Not that much of a fan of the "my kid is cuter than yours" fest, but a bit disappointing, nonetheless.

Well, at least that means we won't have to hear the "no one who has won the par-3 contest has ever won The Masters" thing 20 times this year.

I'm watching my recording of the par 3 contest right now.  Does it end prematurely or something?

Okay, so literally 30 seconds after I typed that they announced the suspension of play :)

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
