Woods is on the 5th hole.  Not much of a source I guess.


How dare you doubt someone who says he has a "well connected" source at Augusta !!! B-)

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Nearly Tiger with one at the eighth, too

I joked while watching that it was probably a microcosm of the Jack / Tiger debate for a lot of people. Jack gets it and Tiger is juuuuuuuuust short.

Final scores of the Par 3.  Looks like Streelman beat Villegas in a playoff. It shows Villegas with an X on the third playoff hole, so I don't know if he just conceded or tanked it or what??

Also, Villegas had TWO holes in one today!!  Nice! :beer:

Pressure hitting a shot at The Masters: 1

Niall Horan singer with One-Direction who performs in front of millions: 0

Golf wins, Golf is hard

I guarantee there is pressure.  I've performed in front of hundreds and was nervous as hell.  You just get in the groove once the show starts.  Friends of mine have performed in front of 80,000.

That being said, Golf is harder! :-D

He hit it in the water on the 8th hole.

The Masters.com website has some magnificent photos of each hole and flyovers.

A great resource, especially if you are a newcomer to our game. :-)

Wow, that is magnificent!  Thanks!

I've known about and used the website for a few years now ... but almost exclusively to watch coverage of the tournament on Thursday and Friday.  I have not perused enough, obviously.

I have had a few people ask me, so…

I promise to try not to get Tiger Woods DQed or a two-stroke penalty this year as I did a few years ago.

But I'm only promising to try .

There is an article on golf.com saying it was David Eger. And GolfDigest. Was there another transgression?

But I'm only promising to try.

Did you call in a violation?

Or did you try to get him DQed for getting advice by yelling "Get in the hole!"?

David Eger called during play. He was responsible for the initial "ruling" that occurred without consulting Tiger.

I was the one responsible for the addition of the two-stroke penalty when Tiger admitted to having dropped behind intentionally.

Timeline:

  1. Tiger hits flagstick.
  2. Eger calls.
  3. Rules officials supposedly make "no penalty" ruling without talking to Tiger.
  4. Tiger talks in post-round interview.
  5. I tweet/Facebook/message/call some people. First person to do it.
  6. It gains steam. Admittedly I helped a bit with that. I wanted Tiger to win, but not by getting away with something.
  7. Nantz and Nobilo mention the growing controversy in their nightly recap.
  8. Tiger's called back to the course early Saturday and is assessed a two-stroke penalty.

Did you call in a violation?

No. I tweeted it. Posted it to Facebook. And shared the link with a few people, including some golf writers, some rules officials working at Augusta, and… let's just say it went from there.

This is all verifiable, but… it's also old news now. Those who remember it having happened have asked me not to do it again this year. I'll try. :)

That's funny; that thread, I believe, was how I found this site and lurked for a while.

So you're responsible for two calamities!

Thanks for clearing that up, Erik. I wasn't aware of the full chronology. Interesting. :-)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
