Seems legit. I mean, I’m sure Florida judges routinely allow every DUI offender (esp repeat DUI offenders with non-white skin tones) the same lack of jail time.

Are you sitting in chairs you put down or someone else's? I've always heard that everyone is really polite when it comes to chair etiquette and you can sit in someone else's seat until they get there then you gotta move.

Those are my chairs. We were up well before dawn to get in early and set up chairs on the rope every day.

Some of my favorite spots are behind the pin on 2, on 13 before the creek, and on 16, looking directly up the 15th fairway so you can see both holes. All great spots to see where eagles dare and I have seen many. Plus they are near all the amenities - food, restrooms, the small satellite shops and the north or south gate shops - or other holes that are fun to watch - 4th tee, 6th green, 7th green, Amen corner, etc. We had a rangefinder for a couple days before we were told it was a no-no on Sunday. Sure made us popular with everyone around us - “that’s Bryson from 263”

But what you heard is true. Sit in an unoccupied chair, no problem. There’s a business card holder in the back of the chair. Some folks mark them with ribbon or colorful tape to make them easy to identify.

and there we are at 4:51

Saw Gotterup as a popular pick for longshot bets to win The Masters...

Gotterup on first Masters: 'going to treat it as a normal week'

If you go on tournament days, you need to master the Masters Fold

In 2016 we got to talking to one of the uniform security guards behind the 3rd green / 4th tee. He asked my wife “do you want me to put you on the rope?” She didn’t understand what he was asking and I’m like “ hell yes, put her on the rope!” So he escorted her thru the patrons on the 3rd green and came back to me and showed me the Masters fold. It’s basically origami-ing the tee sheet into your badge holder so when you flip it over you get all the tee times

Remy? Like the rat from Ratatouille?

embrace the 9 wood boys .:..

Tommy Fleetwood called Augusta National "perfect 9-wood golf course.

Fleetwood has been using a 9-wood since 2023 and said the high flight can really be beneficial at the Masters.

"If I can put myself in position on the par-5s or the 4th long par-3, like it — for me, I can't really hit that high 4-iron, so 9-wood helps me a lot."

Yyour mom loves my 9 wood.

I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a 9 wood

Good prospects in 21-30

Masters 2026: Ranking the entire 91-player field at a wid...

One could argue that this is the most wide-open Masters in recent memory, and here is a ranking of all 91 players in the field at Augusta National.

Nos. 1-10

1. Jon Rahm: Has lost to only seven players combined in his last five LIV starts and his Data Golf skill profile is bursting at the seams. With Scheffler looking more human, he’s poised to win another green jacket.

2. Ludvig Åberg: Checks all the boxes, ranking No. 1 in our model, trending with three straight top-5s, and he’s gone second, seventh in two previous Masters.

3. Scottie Scheffler: He’s now gone back-to-back starts without notching a top-20 finish, and he’ll be just two weeks into being a father of two, but make no mistake, Scheffler is still top 10 in strokes gained tee to green and around the green, so if the iron play picks back up, he wins.

4. Cameron Young: Missed the cut last year, snapping a run of two straight Masters top-10s, and he’s not known for his play around the greens. But he’s second in proximity and top 10 in strokes gained tee to green as he enters his first start since winning The Players.

5. Matt Fitzpatrick: Was on him before going second-win in his last two Tour starts. He’s top five in our model while ranking second on Tour in strokes gained tee to green. Riding a streak of 10 straight made Masters cuts.

6. Xander Schauffele: Has cracked the top 10 in four of his last five Masters starts, and he enters this year with top-7s in three of his last four starts.

7. Bryson DeChambeau: He’s figured out Augusta National with top-6 finishes in two straight editions. He’s also won two consecutive LIV titles.

8. Rory McIlroy: After the lengthy wait for his first green jacket, can he successfully defend? Just three players have ever done so – Tiger, Jack and Faldo. He’s had some time to rest the back, and if healthy, the Tour’s leader in strokes gained tee to green will factor.

9. Min Woo Lee: This is the first surprise, though Lee is the hottest player right now, per Data Golf’s trend table. He’s nearly top 10 in strokes gained tee to green, second in par-5 scoring, and even the approach play has been remarkably better this year.

10. Patrick Reed: Hasn’t kept winning at the clip he did earlier this year, but he is coming off a T-10 at the Joburg Open. Might be the best chipper in the world and loves Augusta National – the 2018 champion has been T-12 or better in four of his last five.

Nos. 11-20

11. Hideki Matsuyama: He’s third in the model, which is no surprise considering he’s an excellent ball-striker and chipper. Since winning the Masters, he’s posted top-25s in three of four trips.

12. Akshay Bhatia: Throw out the missed cut at DLF; had a win and four top-16s in a row before that. Top 10 in strokes gained approach, though wish Masters record was a tad better.

13. Collin Morikawa: Keep an eye on the back, as he hasn’t played since withdrawing at The Players. But he had gone win, T-7, T-5 before that. Leads the Tour in strokes gained approach and is also fourth in par-5 scoring. If he’s healthy, he’s a threat to win.

14. Brooks Koepka: The ball-striking hasn’t been the problem, as he’s second in strokes gained approach. He did miss the cut in Houston, but he’d gone T-18 or better in three starts before that. Three MCs in his last five Masters, though was T-2 three years ago.

15. Jacob Bridgeman: Our first first-timer on the list, and for good reason. Won at Riviera and has not been worse than T-18 in eight starts this year. The only concern with his game is the chipping.

16. Tommy Fleetwood: Top 10 in par-5 scoring and strokes gained tee to green, and second in strokes gained around the green. Top-10s in four of last five, and at the Masters, he’s been T-21 or better with a T-3 in last four.

17. Chris Gotterup: Like Fleetwood, he’s top 10 in par-5 scoring and strokes gained tee to green, just with more power. He’s also top 25 in strokes gained around the green. He could be another first-timer who pops.

18. Jordan Spieth: Usually always finds it at Augusta National, evidenced by last year’s gritty T-14. Had three top-12s in four starts before struggling at Valero.

19. Nicolai Højgaard: Followed his T-16 in his Masters debut with a MC last year, but he’s trending, coming off a second in Houston.

20. Adam Scott: Hasn’t cracked the top 20 at a Masters since 2018, but he is third in strokes gained approach and proximity.

Nos. 21-30

21. Justin Rose: Since 2022, he’s alternated made and missed cuts, but, of course, he’s coming off a playoff loss to Rory McIlroy. He’s top 10 in strokes gained approach and got back on track with a T-13 at The Players.

22. Si Woo Kim: Has basically been a top-30 machine at Augusta National for the last eight years or so. Ranked fourth in strokes gained tee to green, third on approach and first in proximity.

23. Jake Knapp: Leads the Tour in par-5 scoring and putting outside of 10 feet.

24. Russell Henley: Another great putter who had three top-15s in four starts before going T-38, MC in last two Masters.

25. Viktor Hovland: Owns one top-10 in six Masters, though he’s always around the top 30. MC at Valspar sapped some momentum, and he’s outside the top 100 in par-5 scoring as the driver has been frustrating.

26. Maverick McNealy: Has shown some glimpses of late as he looks to build off T-32 in last year’s Masters debut. The putter has surprisingly frustrated him but the ball-striking is better (top 30 in strokes gained tee to green).

27. Robert MacIntyre: Fourth at The Players, T-2 at Valero and now headed to a place where he has a couple top-25s, though not in a few years. Needs to bounce back from his poor weekend finish in San Antonio.

28. Corey Conners: Owns four top-10s in his last six Masters starts, but outside the top 30 in strokes gained tee to green isn’t his usual ball-striking position.

29. J.J. Spaun: Fresh off another Valero win, he’s one of the best ball-strikers in the field, though is outside the top 160 in make percentage outside of 10 feet.

30. Justin Thomas: Continues to shake off rust post back surgery, but he’s gone cold in recent Masters – MC, MC, T-36.

Incredible day yesterday, photos later after I download them from my camera. An amazing place to walk the course, see the crowds, stand in line to buy Merch. My calves hurt today. The only disappointment is not seeing much golf on the course. I think I saw less than 20 players hit shots, on the course.

I noticed this too yesterday. My third time doing it and this was by far the least amount of golf I saw. Huge breaks between groups. I think we sat at 16 at one point yesterday and saw 2 groups in an hour. Amazing nonetheless.

Do you think they made Spieth stand next to Willett or was that only coincidence?

At least Augusta had the good sense to say "fuck off" when ESPN wanted to put McAfee on the broadcast, but this Kelce shit is just as bad. I'm surprised they didn't pull him off the air the moment he ate the combo egg salad/pimento sandwich.
