For the discussion of the 2016 Masters, to be played April 7-10 at some muni course named Augusta National GC.

Who will win? Who will be the surprise story? Will Jordan Spieth get out of his funk?

I hope Jordan gets out of his funk. I would like to see a tight tournament with 5 or 6 players in position to win on Sunday. That would make it fun to watch.

Bubba isn't a bad bet. One of the best strikers on the tour, playing well this year, and obviously the course suits him. I'll be there this year, for Sunday's round. Can't wait.

I think Jordan will be alright at Augusta. He seems to be getting out of his funk the last two days at Valspar. Will be interesting to see how he does in Texas leading up the Masters. Last year he posted a win and then two runners-up finishes in Texas before Augusta. That gave him huge confidence.

Just a gut feeling, but I think Rory is going to be a major contender this year. Not going to say he's going to win it yet, but I do think he'll be in the hunt on the back 9 on Sunday. Playing really well so far this year. He just needs to avoid that one bad round which seems to be hindering him a bit from winning more in 2016.

For some reason, I'm getting a gut feeling the winner will not be an American this year.

I like JD and DJ for this... (see what I did there?)

They both hit the ball so freaking high, good for sticking greens. Not mentioning Bubba because he's a tool.

Phil seems like he is going to peak at the right time. 

I'm a huge fan of Phil. Would love to see him win. And he can, because that course just seems set up for certain players, and he's definitely a horse for that course.

However, there also seems to be this sad thing that happens to pros where one day they simply reach a point where they can't win anymore. They strike it beautifully, but don't make enough putts anymore. Or they play great for three days and then run out of gas.....or charge at the end but come up short.

I think Phil is at that point now. There is of course always some chance of winning, but I think he is a huge longshot these days to win any tournament, especially a major.

If Tom Watson came within a hair's width winning of The Open were it not for that fateful 8 iron, I think Mickelson has a reasonable chance to win this year. DLIII won last year and he's 6 years older. "Just" needs to go on a streak.

I'm a huge Phil phan.  I hope you are right and I am wrong!

that was the cruelest of all 8 irons.  but then he made a terrible atrocious putt from off the green.  i dont think he should have chipped it, but that putt was just awful.

I am hearing that Arnie will not hit the opening shot - if true that makes me sad.

Defending Masters champion Jordan Spieth has picked Texas barbecue to be on the menu for the Masters Champions Dinner at Augusta National.

However, as Doug Ferguson of The Associated Press reports, there is still confusion over what brand.

Ben Crenshaw, a two-time Masters winner, told Ferguson on Monday night that Spieth had chosen Salt Lick Barbecue, a "great choice from right here in Austin, Texas," he said.

But Spieth denied those reports, saying Augusta National picks the brand.

''I didn't select Salt Lick. I don't know where that was spread from,'' Spieth said Tuesday. ''Augusta National always makes the meals. So they asked,' What do you want to have for your meal?' and I said I'd love to do some Texas barbecue. So they kind of go out and search for a way to make it based on popular places. I'm not sure what it's exactly going to be. It's going to be Texas barbecue. I'm pretty excited for it.''

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
