The glutes joke is never going to get old (to me anyway), so I am going to reserve the right to use it as often as possible (especially since it is still fresh in 2015 isn't it?). :) Furthermore, exc

As Jordan kept marching on today, it became more and more apparent that he was in the midst of a pretty historic dominant performance for the first two rounds.

The pesky Charley Hoffman might make things interesting, but I feel like the excitement might be done with already. Anyone else?

If Jordan loses this, it would be a massive disappointment. Would be tough to watch even. None of us like watching a good guy collapse (most of us would agree Jordan is a pretty good guy, I'd hazard to guess).  So what else is left to watch for the week? Someone making a miracle charge and out-dueling Jordan?

Charley could do that, but he has always felt like a second tier player, whereas Jordan is apparently on the rise to stardom. Something seems less than thrilling about Charley Hoffman winning this, but he could certainly add some drama.

Ernie Els could charge, but Jordan would have to come back to the field a bit, I would think.

Maybe someone who finishes late today could make a huge run and get near -10 to make this interesting.

The number of possibilities is narrowing, and I'm not sure any outcome other than Jordan winning will be satisfying.

Not surprised at all to see DJ playing well. He and Spieth were my two bets this week. With the par-5s on the back, he could creep up there a little more.

I am. He always sucks at Augusta.

I have to be honest, ESPN's coverage is utter garbage IMO

I switched to ESPN when they came on.  Listened for 30 mins and changed it back to the online stream from masters.com

I see this going one of two ways for Spieth:

Continues his hot play and shoots a 18/19 under and wins easily.

Or

Blows up and shots high 70s the next two days.

If someone makes a run today and makes it competitive, and Speith doesn't win, I'll be satisfied because I'll  more than likely have seen some good golf this weekend.

Seems like the standard CBS schmaltzy Masters coverage team to me. Nantz, Faldo, et al plus Rinaldi interviews (minus Oosterhuis, who retired, and Feherty, who is sick). Not much with an ESPN stamp to me.


I'm not saying it's great, but it's really the same thing we've come to expect.

What is worse than usual in the coverage?

Its worse because they dont actually show golf.  They talk the whole time.

Watching a featured group you see the whole course.

Wow, kudos for JD!   And ChrisP (I think) who posted earlier that JD is about to break out.  Now the question is, what happens when someone "breaks out?"   Does he win at 30% of all his tournaments?   Does he achieve Tiger slam at least?   It'd be exciting to track his progress.

But I am hoping and rooting for Hoffman to track JD down for a win for old timers (as I am) sake.

Phil was on a few moments ago!

Why isn't ESPN showing Rory & Phil at all? This is weird.

Yah, it's decent as a supplement to the action, but it's definitely not where to go for the action. Interesting to hear from Jordan and Tiger though. Was that a dig from Tiger? "Or Augusta could leave conditions as is for the weekend, and just make this a shootout."

I'm streaming on the laptop while listening to the interviews. Nice to have options.

I think McIlroy really should have played a week ago or the week before. His game still wasn't sharp after Bay Hill. You look at Jordan and he played two weeks both coming in and got some nice momentum and confidence for this week.

Because they arent allowed to show the front nine at Augusta...

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
