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.

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

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!

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.

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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
