Boring?  BORING?  Mike & Mike, Mad Dog Radio, etc etc how could these guys even use the word?  Did these sportscasters even watch the tournament, or did they tune in for the last 3 holes and expec

It's not the weather, though, as you may expect ... But rather, Phil Mickelson is just starting his practice round. ;)

I'd like to make a suggestion to the Augusta people: Quickly write into your tournament by-laws a contingency tradition; if the son of a former winner wins the tournament, his dad gets to prese

Actually, I've read several people saying that around Agusta, its a must due to the slopes everywhere....Guess I must be a dork :p

I think it makes sense if your golf shoes are more waterproof than your sneakers. Other than that ... yeah, it's like anyone over 15 wearing a baseball glove to an MLB game.

Adam Scott in at -3. ESPN just pointed out that that was the score he posted on Thursday last year.

Phil just made 7 at the 7th.

LOL, yea I think I said, "I'd pay ten bucks to know what Tiger is doing right this second." I like to think he's watching the event on his couch in his PJs yelling at Lindsay to make him a protein shake or something. And when Phil made triple, he made this face as he drank it.

So normal sneakers do not have the grip required to walk around Augusta as a spectator? I very much doubt this as I've yet to see any caddies fall over.

I'm really upset that CBS Sports online coverage of Featured Groups 1 and 2 didn't have either Phil's group, Scott's group, or Rory's group.

Really wish I could have seen what happened to Phil on 7.

Fair enough.

Except I disagree.  If I'm going to be traipsing around in the grass and mud of a golf course, and I have shoes at home designed specifically for that activity, it seems pretty silly NOT to wear golf shoes.

Of course, I have a desk job, am currently at work, and am wearing golf shoes now, so, perhaps I'm not the authority on when it is and isn't OK to wear them. :-P

I never thought of it but wearing golf shoes wouldn't be a bad idea. Better than busting my ass sliding down a slope.

I don't know what shoes you guys are wearing ( bowling shoes? ) but a sports shoe would suffice if you are commonly slipping everywhere you walk?

If the course gets wet, it becomes extremely slippery. I was talking to my boss who was there a few years ago. People in tennis shoes were slipping and sliding all over the place.

Pfffffft, Tiger's probably not even Top 5 at that game.

hahaha, I did the same thing with Tiger '13, two days ago.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
