[David in FL]

So, @Golfingdad and I were wondering in the other thread, how careful do you think everyone is gonna be while marking their balls this week?!

Maybe they are worried that O'Hair is going to win, but this way he only get to play 6 more years as a past champion

You can judge his age by when they start calling him O' No More Hair!

And David in FL, probably not that many. Augusta's greens don't have any "depressions" in them!

They should be as careful as they always are, that is, to replace their ball exactly where it was.

Usually the winds and weather are not as bad as they want everyone to believe leading up to the tournament.

I like the radar on the range feature. Hopefully they'll show more, distance and curve are nice, but many more interesting data points available. That's a 5 iron, 16 yards of curve? Doesn't look like that much on the graphic.

Doesn't look good for the Par 3 thing. 80% chance of thunder/lightning at 2pm.

Not much difference in the betting,only Jon Rahm seems to be shortening.

Koepka played nine holes with DJ on Tues and Brooks took money off him.Whatever that means.According to one of the talking heads on golf channel.

Camon WIND!!! Make these guys work and earn their cash.

I think the first two days are going to be brutal.  My hope is that one of the flights doesn't catch a huge break either way and it is equally difficult no matter if you go off early Thursday or early Friday.

20+ MPH winds could make for some high scores.  I wonder if the setup will change somewhat given the forecast.

Augusta closed,feel sorry for the fans.

If you guys HAD to place a bet on one of these two players, which way would you go:

• Pat Perez at 150:1
• Fred Couples at 300:1

Last I saw, these are the current odds for these players.  I would take Boom Boom twice if I could...

I'd go for an each way bet on Perez although I'd love to see Fred win it.

Paddypower has the top 8 places on each way bets.

 

I should be in bed

Golfing tomorrow but I just love the hype of the Masters.

Playing here with 3 Canucks,1 Yank and 1 Paddy.

I am shocked!  SHOCKED at the reasonable prices they are charging for food.  Don't they know this is America?  When you have people in a restricted environment, it's your civic duty to gouge the ever-loving shit out of them!

I'd take Freddy. He shows the occasional flash at Augusta.
