By my count, Tiger has drained twelve putts today.  ;-)  As per the ruling in the 1962 U.S. Open playoff, in stroke play you must hole your shot to finish the hole. 

Haha by my definition he’s made tap-ins not putts.

But he made one there on 13. Finally.


Am I hearing people booing Kuchar or are they just saying "Kooch"? On the tee it sounded like people saying "Kooch", but when he drained the eagle putt it sounded a lot like booing (but could just be because the mics are a ways away from the patrons).

If it's booing, I feel bad for the guy since I don't think he did anything wrong. It's open for debate as to whether he did or not, but booing someone is just poor taste and I'd be surprised that Augusta isn't removing patrons for it since they're known to be so strict with etiquette. 

I imagine Phil's jabs at Kuchar this morning probably didn't help with public sentiment towards him any, at the very least.

Whoa, 10th tee start for half the field tomorrow.  Is that the first time in Masters history they have done this?  I understand why.

Wow Augusta National going against the wishes of TV and teeing off early. Never saw a major do that. Usually television has the final call with majors.

I'm just making a dad joke ;-)

I think they're just saying Kooch, his nickname.  I can only remember players chanting boo at two different players:  Weekley and Poulter, and that didn't happen at the Masters.

The weirdest part about the Sunday tee-times to me is that on a Sunday at a major they're starting people on the back 9 AND going in 3's.

I can understand the threesomes, but splitting between holes 1 and 10 just seems weird to me.

Going to have a British Open Sunday feel to it. 

I forget where you live but I'm on the west coast and am going to have to change my day plans for this.  Happy to do it.

I’m really shocked they’re doing it but applaud them. I remember past years when tournament officials went against the forecast and teed off to please the tv executives. Only bad part is the wind is supposed to really howl tomorrow.


Oh sure, that one doesn't go right ... (Tiger, tee shot, 15)

Tiger is in shock he hit a 5-iron and the ball went 240 yards.

In fairness to Tiger, I'd be shocked if I hit a 5-iron that far, too.

Probably just going to be the bottom half of the leaderboard teeing off at 10.

Tiger is now one shot off the lead.  Double digits under par in a major.  C'mon Tiger!

I had to look up what you meant.  Figures I'd get cable TV after the show stopped.  Anyway, Tony Finau was in Big Break Disney (I had to look it up).  I don't think anyone has.

I mean, guest stars -- Lorena Ochoa showed up at Big Break Mexico at one point, I think.  But she wasn't a contestant.

Noticed Woods has maybe the pin position sheet in his front left pocket. I can’t play with anything protrusive in the pockets.

Going out in tbreesomes gives Tiger a good shot of getting in last group if he can get in at -11.

Jesus does this Molinari have a weakness?

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
