Brandel Chamblee talked about how you have to be a picker of the golf ball to win at Augusta National.

Nobilo was in the background somewhat naming a bunch of players and saying things like "Stadler took big divots. Woosnam. Arnie took big divots. Tiger Woods. Phil MIckelson can take a big divot."

Chamblee was not amused.

:doh:

Chamblee is such a clown. One day Nobilo should slap him, that would make for great TV. :dance:

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

Stop it! I was just about to run to the 'What would you shoot at Augusta?' thread and use Chamblee's comments to lower my predicted score to 80 since I'm a "picker". That's what people are doing with Jack saying we'd suck, so it's only fair! You're invalidating my argument before I even make it....

... I had to. :beer:

On a side note, I had to hook up 2 extra LCDs in my office just to broadcast CBS and Masters.com feeds. I am seriously pumped. Let's go Dufner!


Edit: There's finally some players at the Amen Corner!

Nice to Woosie managing to stay at even par through the first 9 holes.

Would like to see him put a couple of respectable rounds together - even better if he could make the cut (but I wouldn't bet on it).

Takes me back to watching him win the Masters on my 14th birthday in 1991. The leading amateur that year was a virtually unknown young golfer called Phil Mickelson.


Those tee boxes are better than a lot of the greens I play on!

Looks like Golf Channel is the best way to follow early on - then CBS Sports/Masters.com stream in a hour or so on their sites... 10:45 is the start of Masters.com live, I believe.

Gary Player tearful after hitting the honorary tee shot - poignant moment. Maybe Arnold's last?

List of honorary starters over the years.....~~- Jock Hutchison, 1963-73 - Fred McLeod, 1963-76 - Gene Sarazen, 1981-99 - Byron Nelson, 1981-82 and 1984-2001 - Ken Venturi, 1983 - Sam Snead, 1984-2002 - Arnold Palmer, 2007- - Jack Nicklaus, 2010- - Gary Player, 2012-

I thought Arnie looked like he was struggling at the end of the Par 3 contest yesterday.

He looks much better in this photo (though I'm not sure what day it is from)

So classless...  Cant even button up the jacket.

Come on Arnie, gotta close that suit jacket!

Rickie is 2 under already!

Keeping that hot start earlier in the week alive.

A Rory vs. Rickie final pairing would be great for golf.

Gosh, just looking at the grass by way of the Amen corner coverage is ridiculous.  The courses near me have terrible grass maintenance. I'm jealous....

TSN.ca (for the Canucks) is showing Amen Corner. Blixt is looking pretty solid!

Just stuck it on 13 for eagle, and already at -3.

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
