Matias Dominguez just had an ace on #4 in the par 3 contest. He is from my school, Texas Tech! Way to represent!

- Brice

In my bag:

Driver: :callaway:Big Bertha Alpha (9.5d)

3 Wood: :callaway: X Hot (15d)

Irons: :ping:I-20 (4-PW)

Wedges: :callaway: Forged (50 & 54)

Putter: :ping: Cadence TR Anser 2 Counterbalance


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-)

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:

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?

Did you call in a violation?

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

I've posted this before, but this gets me so psyched for The Masters:

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!

It was actually in the live chat. I remember it vividly. I thought he was gonna get DQed entirely.

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

    • This video got into my youtube feed. And I watched it.  But I'm confused why not spinning in "the revealer" is important to making putts.  Maybe I'm oversimplifying this, but it seems to me, your hands are holding the putter. So, it isn't going to spin when you swing it. The ball isn't that heavy so as to overpower my hands when I don't hit it dead center. If the ball was so heavy as to overpower my hands when I don't hit it dead center, than certainly it would be heavy enough to overpower the lie-angle balance, right?  Don't get me wrong. I like the demo. It's something they can show people and say "Look our putter is different." But the more I think about it the less I think this feature matters.  I have an open mind, however.  Let me know if there's really a benefit to this that I just don't understand.     
    • Welcome to the TST.  I always suggest that everyone starts a MySwing thread.  Have fun, enjoy the forum.  
    • Those are good. But they are like the Dan Marino of cookies, The Oatmeal Raisin is the Tom Brady of cookies. ... IMO ... 👍😜👍 Eh... I'll make the black and white cookie the Vinnie Testaverde of cookies. 👍👍... Once again, this is my opinion. 
    • Do you have another son-in-law that you don't really like?  The answer to your question IMO is lessons. Many others have mentioned why.  BUT...... If you son in law is abnormally tall, or abnormally short, or has super long arms or super short legs or something like that, then at least a static fitting would be wise.  Having said that, just because lessons are likely to give him more improvement than new fitted clubs, doesn't mean you shouldn't give him the gift of new fitted clubs. There will still be some benefit there, plus, going through a fitting and getting shiny new clubs is fun. ... And golf should be fun. 
    • Love me some Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. but it still comes in second to the Black and White (Half-Moon) cookie
