I usually just like to chill on my couch for all 6 hours or so of coverage on Sunday, but have been to a small gathering at friend's houses and on occasion been stuck at my wife's relatives one year when Easter was on Master's Sunday.  Any way (ok, this is a stealth brag thread) we'll be in Hawaii and will have to endure at this bar at our hotel in Maui. Hopefully we can get there early enough to grab a seat.

Yes I do.  I turn on the TV and watch.

And here is the view I enjoy through the glass door next to the TV every day

This year we are:

- playing golf in the mornings (thursday-sunday)

- watching masters in the evening (7pm-12pm here in the UK)

- setting up a 2nd screen next to the action through a laptop with PGA stats website on - to show how each of the players we've got bets on is doing

- rent out tiger woods 14 for anywhere between it

I DVR and watch every second of it, pausing as needed for interruptions with a quick rewind if I miss anything. The Masters is like the Super Bowl for me. Nothing keeps me from watching it. Most of the time, I visit their early coverage on Master.com. [URL=http://www.masters.com/en_US/index.html]http://www.masters.com/en_US/index.html[/URL]

I sit down in my chair, turn on my television, turn my laptop to Masters.com for streaming, and then don't move for several hours. Rinse and repeat three more times.

Here in NE Ohio, this is going to be the first weekend that I actually get to play a full, real, 18 holes of golf. The weather finally climbed out of the high 20's and 30's and it's supposed to be 60 this weekend. By next weekend, they are calling for sunny skies and mid-70's!!

Since I am off Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday next week, I will be doing the following:

Wednesday night - Stop at my local wine reserve to pick up a few CAO Moontrance and Cohiba smokes along with a few craft beers (most likely Troegs Nugget Nectar and several other IPAs).

Thursday - streaming The Masters coverage from my wife's iPad outside in the sun while grilling lunch and getting my hop vitamins in me.

Friday - repeat of Thursday with the exception of taking a ride up to Golf Galaxy. Come back home and hide my purchases so that I do not have to sleep on the couch when my wife gets home (my back is killing me). Step outside and begin ritualistic sacrifice of a 6-pack.

Saturday - repeat of Friday with the exception that I'll be golfing in the morning. Watching The Masters in the afternoon/evening while arguing with my wife about the importance of The Masters because she keeps changing the channel to Bravo TV reruns of 'The Real Housewives' every time I get up.

Sunday - repeat Saturday to the "T" with the exception of a 20oz. T-Bone and baked potato dinner and a few Jack n' Cokes.

(I do this every year....)

LOL, I just had this dilemma yesterday after buying a new 3-wood and pulling the the garage (clubs were in the basement).

"OK, how do I get this in the house without her seeing.....what is that over there - some clubs I pulled out of my bag last year?  YES!"

Grab the old clubs and the new club and walked right by her, LOL

I haven't missed a shot of the masters since 1996. I take a vac day Thursday and Friday every year. This year, on Saturday, my wife's stupid cousin is having her wedding at a fine country club. I am seething inside. I decided to protest by going to a used clothing store, and buying the ugliest green jacket I could find. My wife is fantastic though, she just laughed. Typically, on Sunday my wife cooks like she would for the Super Bowl, and we watch it together with a couple bottles of wine.

I've done this before too lol. It seems like every time I buy a new club, or clubs, I leave work early knowing that my wife should not be home, but I pull in to see her car and I get a text when I park along the lines of "Hey hun, left work early... going to start some dinner and unwind with some wine!".


Then you go into heart palpitations and you start sweating like you're carrying a few pounds of Cartel supplies or something, " F***! oh sh*t, whaddooidoo, whaddooido, whaddooido!". Next thing you know, I'm sneaking into my own house like a burglar just to sneak my new love into my golf bag milliseconds before I'm greeted by a "Um...what was that?".... me: "Huh?Who? Oh, me? Hi! A guy from work gave me a club to try out.....Steve, yeah his name is Steve"  LOL

Before all the uber saturation of TV coverage on ESPN and CBS, I would turn on the "in-house" feed here at work (CBS) on Tuesday and listen in to the rehearsal commentary by the commentators. they would get all the technical stuff taken care of and timing down and call the practice round as it was a tourny round. The 'between time' during simulated commercials was also LIVE and not edited. Needless to say, things would get salty between everyone. Even on the actual tournament days of Thursdays and Fridays, when the outward 9 wasn't shown on LIVE TV, they were covering the holes for the replay edits. Things got a bit blue on those days as well. So when I would put on the TV on Saturday or Sunday to watch some of it, I would always have a grin on my face because I knew what was going on in the background...

My routine is locking myself in our guest room with an ample supply of food and beer.  My fiance knows the deal: during the majors, she makes plans to do things with her friends and catch up on her reading.

I'm at home with the broadcast on all day. I don't watch every minute, but it's always on in the background. Other than that, it's just some good food.

It's on tv in the middle of the night here and runs from Friday thru Monday (GMT +12) so it's all recorded on my Sky Box. I watch it through the week. It doesn't make any difference if I know who won as I just enjoy the golf. I watch every tournament this way, so I actually watch golf 7 days a week.... yikkes does that make me different????

    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
