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:

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!"?

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

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Was there another transgression?

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. :-)

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
