In forty years of watching the Masters, this was without a doubt the most boring one.

Another awkward handshake coming up?

Wasn't that Bubba?

No Tiger or Phil.   It just didn't have the buzz.


Get use to it.

Winning score is going to be higher than normal.....probably around -5 or -6 if that. This course is going to be very firm by Sunday, but I do expect Augusta to set it up for scoring the last day like they normally do. Scott, Watson, and Snedeker are the 3 names that jump out at me as serious contenders early. Don't see Oosthuizen hanging around because of his back problems. Haas, Walker and a lot of those other names haven't faced major pressure yet. The most surprising score to me is undoubtedly Zach Johnson. Did not see that round coming. Thought Dustin, Phil and Day would struggle because of their recent injuries, but ZJ's score came out of nowhere.

[quote name="Golfingdad" url="/t/73499/2014-masters-discussion-thread/420#post_974995"]-8. [/quote]No Cobra driver for me (cuz Zack Johnson is a giant a-hole) but what is my consolation prize for this piece of prognosticating brilliance from Thrusday evening?? ;). (I may not be the best TST predictor this week, but I'm at least Top 5 ;))

This Masters wasn't boring at all.

I don't know. As hard as Bubba lashes at the ball, every swing was exciting to me. Who knows what is going to happen when he walks onto the tee? Two first timers T2. Weird that Nance (or someone) called Blixt a youngster (or something to that affect)...he's almost 30.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Jordan is hungry.

And maybe the winner will post more now that he's won something.

And he said his game is good enough to win a major. What an arrogant a-hole! ;)

Probably won't be invited back for comments like that.

Top fivers say those kind of things.

Forget unknowns winning a lot of PGA Tour events this year. How about a regular wins one of these SandTrap contests one time? :beer: I don't care who it is, anyone with over 1000 posts will do.

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
