The theme will be playing in my head all week.

How does Day do in the wind? Not well, I'd have to imagine, with how high he hits it...

Also, anyone watching the DriveChipPutt contest? It's such a joy to watch those kids.

Not sure Day can play badly at the moment. Still likely to be top 5 whatever the weather. This is one of those years where I just can't see past the favourites - Day, McIlroy or Scott, for me. As with every major, I would love to think that Stenson, Westwood or Garcia will break their duck, but that's probably just a hope at Augusta (especially given the detriments of their games) :-(

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

From the looks of things, this Masters is gonna play a lot more like 2007 than 2015 when it was windy and cold and ZJ won with an over par score. 30+mph gusts expected Thursday and Friday. 15-20mph with cold temps on Saturday.

In fairness, it is an uphill drive and an approach to a green way below the brow of the hill. Still, a very cool round to see on Game Golf!

Would love to see Ricky break through and win a major this week.

Me too.  If I'm rooting for anybody in particular more than anybody else, it's him.  I was dead set on picking him in the contest thread too until I saw just how many people had already done so. :beer:

I like Rickie this week given his ability to play well in windy conditions. I think those kind of player with low ball flight are going to do well. Rory is not so good a wind player and putts really poorly in those conditions so not sure I like his chances.

I hadn't thought of that.  Very true.

Glitterati TST member @Phil McGleno got some airtime on Live From The Masters this evening, re: The Golf Machine, vis a vis Bryson Dechambeau.

Both Frank and Brandel had some nice things to say although Brandel not quite as fawning as Frank was, which stands to reason.

Ummmmmm no.

Does anyone know if CBS all access subscribers will be able to stream the weekend round coverage?  I see on the website they're showing featured groups and Amen corner on the cbssports site, but it doesn't say anything about the weekend CBS broadcast.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
