Just watching Casey and Spieth tear the 13th apart really puts Fowler's horror-show in perspective - 3 wood and mid iron for Spieth and Casey for crying out loud. It's just not a par five any more, they really should buy up that land they've been talking about.

Nonsense. As it is now, it's a genuine half-par for everyone in the field. Extending the tee back another 40-50 yards turns it into a layup hole for everyone except the longest hitters: the exact opposite effect than the club's intent. The shortest hitters may have to hit their third shots from the 14th fairway, because their drives would land too far back to turn the corner of the dogleg on their seconds. It's a terrible idea, and I hope Augusta National doesn't go through with it.

I don't even want to see that 7 putt, that's a life changer. Someone that's never golfed could do better than a 7 putt.

It's crazy how much Spieth destroys this golf course. T2, 1st in his only two starts here, and already he's running away with a lead? Jeez! I'm not saying he's going to win, but good gracious this guy plays pretty decent here.

Nice to see Tom Watson hanging in at +1 in his final Masters. Wouldn't it be great for him to make the weekend, and go out the right way?

It's like a terrible car crash - I probably shouldn't look but I really want to look!

My point is that I don't think you should be able to hit three wood around the corner. I do take your point about lengthening the tee not being a great idea, but I do think it needs to be a bit longer for the approach. Everyone has a different opinion, I guess.

I wouldn't go quite that far, but 1 isn't one of the harder Augusta greens, so it is absolutely crazy. Mind=blown

I gotta give him credit.

And it's not like he just focuses on this Major - he really prepares for all of them.  Gotta commend him for this dedication.

Still hope Phil, Rory, or Day win, though. :-D

Just being a smart-aleck here, but maybe Alina (my daughter) could give Els a putting lesson.

This would make more sense if we knew if she was a baby, toddler, little kid, teenager, or full grown adult. ;-)

So Dechambeau is impressive there's no doubt about it. This perfectly consistent swing with all the equations and physics, yeah its impressive. But I think all that could lead to a low ceiling for him. No shot shaping could prevent him from going low when needed.

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

      By GolfSwami ·

      Majors are the primary yardstick that most people use.  No one cares about winning some 30 person tour championship or some defunct tournament with 50 people. Those are exhibitions. I use other sports to show that I have a coherent thought process because this debate seems fraught with emotion because of the names. Jack and Tiger are just nouns to me. I have no emotional attachment to either one. The thought process would be no different in evaluating Jeongeun Kim5 or Jeongeun Kim6.   It is not hard to comprehend.  I even gave you a helpful example of Clemson football so that you would understand.  If you can't understand that, life is going to be too much for you.   Charlie Munger Quote: “Without numerical fluency, in the part of life most of us inhibit, you are like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking conte...” “Without numerical fluency, in the part of life most of us inhibit, you are like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.” — Charlie Munger quotes from QuoteFancy.com

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

      By Vinsk ·

      And that gap between Tiger’s total wins against Jack’s is massive. And aside from your obsession with majors, Tiger’s accomplishments are massive compared to Jack’s. And stop using other sports as an example. This is golf. Have you not looked at the lists of Tiger vs Jack accomplishments and records? It’s comical to look at both of them and derive that Jack is the GOAT. You acknowledge the weak fields Jack played in then turn around and state how amazing his major records are. That makes no sense at all.

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

      By GolfSwami ·

      I didn't disregard it at all. I acknowledged and I am very well aware that the British Open often didn't have the best players (which was still true in the 90s but to a lesser extent), the PGA Championship had a lot of club pros and golf in general was a much less viable profession so the fields were more top heavy. Clemson plays college football in the ACC. The ACC is a much weaker conference than the SEC and Big Ten.  Clemson often had great teams that were discounted because people used the same thinking as you.  Just because the SEC is tougher doesn't imply that every team ore even the top teams are better.  This conversation would be more relevant if Jack only had a slightly better major record. The gap between Jack and Tiger in majors records is massive.  Tiger's 50th place finishes and DNPs aren't magically becoming 2nds in the 60s and 70s.

      For a large chunk of Jack’s early majors, he didn’t even have 10 people with a reasonable chance to win against him. You can’t just disregard that.
