Ummmmmm no.

I thought I saw you on the red carpet at the Oscars too. Weren't you Charlize Theron's date? :-P

I think this is going to be a good Masters in terms of it being close on Sunday. Weather has a way of tightening up things.

current forecast looks good rainwise (softening the course forecast to end around 9am)
but cool temps and on Thur-Sat pretty windy

My bad, given your avatar and screen name, I've always thought that was you.  It was an interesting piece, either way.

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.

The media is awful at providing clear information on the options. I am seeing disorganized, conflicting data and nothing comprehensive from CBS.

Via cable, it's ESPN/CBS, but streaming there are three (four?) options:

  • masters.com - covers certain holes/groups, multiple feeds, free.
  • cbssports.com - as I understand it, complete live coverage, need to login w/cable sub.
  • WatchESPN - weekday coverage, need cable sub.
  • CBS all access - this is the question mark. Some sources say it'll provide live coverage all the way through, some only on the weekdays, some none at all. I suppose we'll find out come Thursday. And if it is available live, it's only in certain areas. And I think the unpaid version of all access will not offer a live stream. That's my guess. So if it is on all access, you have to pay, no trial subscription, and you have to live in a certain market.

There is no place I found that listed the above like I did. None mention anything about quality of feed, number of ads. Come on journalists. Do your due diligence. Some of the websites that wrote about this can't even grasp basic grammar.

Thanks--at least I feel like less of an idiot because I couldn't find any good info.  You'd think that at least with a paid All Access subscription you'd get whatever they're broadcasting live (since that's their major selling point).

I'll have WatchESPN access for Thurs/Fri.  Weekend is a crap shoot.  I may be spending the night at @DaveP043's house!

If that forecast holds, those par 5s on the back will become actual par 5s instead of long par 4s. That NW wind wil create headwind problems on 11, 13, 15, and 16. Wish it would hold that high through Sunday, lots of drama.

It is okay-We can not all be smart.

It has only said I am not Mac in my signature since you joined the site.

@ChrisP beat me to it, but I came in here to toss my $0.02 in for Rickie due to the wind forecast. IMO he doesn't get enough credit for how well he flights the ball. When he's on, he also rolls in 5-6 foot putts with as much confidence as anyone I've seen and he works the ball well from right to left. I would have always bet his first major would likely come at an Open Champ, but I think he's as good a pick as any this week.

Also, Chamblee is an idiot for leaving Bubba off of his list...even with the wind forecast.

That's pretty official and no mention of CBS all access, so assuming nothing on all access. They should say it explicitly though, it's just one line. There are sources saying it will be.

Masters.com is streaming featured group coverage starting on the first hole, for the first time ever. 

That is AWESOME!  Get to see the whole course in detail.

Yeah, looks a lot like the 2007 forecast. I remember how bad that Saturday was at Augusta in '07 when the wind was howling and guys were wearing beanies. I think Brett Wetterich was leading after 2 rounds and shot like an 82 or something like that.

Sorry for my ignorance but that forecast doesn't look bad at all.

74 Thursday
66 Friday
64 Saturday
66 Sunday

20mph winds, are those variable highs or constants?

Who knows how accurate it will be but the forecast I'm looking at is showing ~20 mph winds thurs-sat. With a lot of elevation change and approach shots that typically need to be high and very precise, I gotta think wind like that would make things really tough. If the forecast holds I would expect a ton of three putts due to guys ending up on the wrong side of ridges on the greens.

Given the fact it's winds from a cold front coming in, they tend to be pretty gusty. Nobody will know for sure how strong they will blow until the actual front comes in, but I know from past years, when a storm comes in and the temperatures drop, the winds tend to be pretty nasty.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
