I hope he gets hit by a errant drive or three.

Shouldn't he be wearing a helmet to protect himself from concussions?

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

What is everyones hopes for today?

A bunch of big names at the top of the leaderboard?  A young gun running away with it?  A new comer charging hard?

Interesting sometimes to see who might be a member of Augusta National......

Ugh. I really dislike this dude.

I'm onboard with stopping concussions, but this dude and the NFL are so hypocritical.

AnYwAyS:

Looking forward to Bill Haas and his play today, plus Adam Scott, though as previously stated, Brandel's got that covered.

I really hope Stricker and Els play well. Hopefully Bubba falls to the wayside. Just don't like his pissy attitude - especially to his caddy.

There is a Mequon Wisconsin amateur playing The Masters who is making the local paper, he shot an 81 yesterday, Niebrugge. It will be interesting to see if he makes the cut. My pick in the driver contest here is currently sitting at +1, will have to watch his scores today.

Faldo just said he saw the pins for today and said they are tough again today.

Are those posted anywhere for us to see?

Aw, geez, thanks for the big fuggin reveal Bubba. Secret is one of the most vile and overused words in golf. Like finding some mystical long lost treasure will cure all. I'll tell ya a secret - there's a lot of snake oil in them thar hills.

Yeah, but that secret was so controversial on this board a few months ago. [quote name="boogielicious" url="/t/73499/2014-masters-discussion-thread/432#post_975070"]I hope he gets hit by a errant drive or three. [/quote] You're too kind to him. Ugh, he's an ANGC member? Sometimes life isn't fair. [quote name="pumaAttack" url="/t/73499/2014-masters-discussion-thread/450#post_975101"]What is everyones hopes for today? A bunch of big names at the top of the leaderboard?  A young gun running away with it?  A new comer charging hard? [/quote] If Bill Haas wins, would that be the first pair of relatives to win the Masters? I can't think of any other pair offhand, but I feel I'm missing something obvious. I don't think Bubba and Tom Watson are related... I'm rooting for Stricker and Woodland, slightly more so if no one else has selected them in the pool. I've given up hope of my #1 pick winning.

Like I said earlier, I think the greens would be the killer. The pros had a lot of trouble chipping it close yesterday and I noticed that there were so many 5 foot slippery second putts for par. If the course was set up like this, I think amateurs would lose a LOT of strokes around the green.

I kept seeing on number 11 I believe in the beginning of Amen corner that when people don't go for the green they try to leave it right on the long par 4.  Why would they do that? It leaves them a downhill pitch without much chance of spinning it and getting close.  Why not lay up to like 50 or 60 out so you can stop it right next to the hole?  Idk, could just be me...

Maybe we can get the Big Easy to take out his knees with a cut block!

Live feed is up ... masters.com ... for Amen Corner so far at least.

The pin on 12 is in the dead center of the green.  Where I roughly estimate the green to be about 11 inches deep. :bugout:

I was thinking yesterday for the ceremonial tee shots.....if the time comes when Tiger is old, and they ask him to be a part of it......would he be the type of guy who would? Or do you think ocne he retires he is off the radar and not to be bothered by anyone?

interesting strategy - but those 50 yd downhill wedge shots on at tight lie also give them a difficult time - I think they'd rather have Larry Mize's shot.

Your second guess.  I can't imagine a 70 year old tiger walking around do ceremonial stuff.

      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.
