Tiger is back. Phil already has one win. Viewership is way up. Let's do this.

Masters is going to be amazing. All the pipe hitters are playing well.

[maninblack 7974]

Nobody cares about the secondary market.

Haha. Well not everyone here has badges at face value.

Seems like some of the players (Rory and JT) are starting to speak out about this stuff. It is annoying. 

[Buzzrock 14918]

Watching the DMP has been fun. I once played ACC so it hits close to home.

Most of Atlanta is on Spring Break that week. Tickets have been hard to unload. I turned down a Thursday ticket myself, and we’re doing a work event there and struggling to get local execs to go. They all cite spring break and say remember them next year.

It looked like Bubba was going to charge the dude with his putter

Interesting. But in ATL it’s always a lot easier to come by a ticket by knowing someone. Stubhub is showing $1,700 for Thursday (asking price). Weekly badges were about $5,500 when I went awhile back when Tiger was doing well. I think prices will be higher this year. We’ll see.

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

Bubba to the match play finals. Waiting for an opponent, other match in a playoff. 

[hookem48 4687]

Kisner vs Bubba, maybe Bubba can keep viewers awake

I don't understand how anyone could turn down the opportunity to go to the Masters.

I have kids in that prime age for fun family stuff, and I’ve been before. And can likely go again (sometimes it’s good to be in tech sales in Atlanta). But I feel you. It’s magnificent. 

[Jive Turkey 12594]

Bubba gonna close this out soon. 2 wins this season. Still a weird cat, but he’s found something.

Probably helps that he's not playing with a putt-putt ball anymore.  But yeah, he has so much game when he's on.

[TahoeHorn 107]

Who is playing the best golf right now?

 

I think Justin Thomas may be passing Dustin Johnson.

[hookem48 4687]

Match play can really  suck sometimes.

[Updawg 2266]

Pretty lame Sunday  finish

If you have extras you need to just get rid of, I'm available.

[Buzzrock 14918]

I do not, they all belong to the company.

Yep. Several dudes who I think will be contention, plus el Tigre......

[Lobwedgephil 1139]

Shaping up to be the most anticipated Masters in years. Lots of young and old players in good form. Hope Jordan can find something. 

[ousuxndallas 65]

Yeah, Bubba is really in good form - should be a favorite at Augusta.  Phil is playing well - don't count him out.  I don't see Tiger winning but you never know.  Justin Thomas - can he do it?  Spieth's putting is too poor right now for him to win IMO.

[WestTesEx 0]

I'm headed to Augusta Wed/Thur this year.  I couldn't be happier about how well the top dudes are playing going into it, I'm really going to be struggling to figure out who to watch or if I should just post up in a spot and watch all the groups come through.  I'm a little  about the weather though because there are currently rain chances for Wednesday.  Last year, I sat in our rent house and watched it rain instead of getting to see the practice rounds/par 3 contest.

[Wally Fairway 5543]

Houston Open of Humble this week

Decent field - Jordan, Rose, Rickie, Brandt, Dufner, Ernie,  Jhonny and lots of younger players Hossler, Gribble, Frittelli

They are struggling to find a sponsor, and next year (rumored) lose their spot before the Masters.

[huge 3793]

Houston surly should sponsor it

[Southernthunder 38]

Yup. I plan on being there Saturday. Can't wait to go watch. 

[Southernthunder 38]

So is there any place I should be for Saturday? Last time I went it was held in the Woodlands. 

[TahoeHorn 107]

Jordan closed with three birdies.

 

[HouTex 1866]

Jordan closed with three birdies.
 

They are down wind, but those are not easy holes.

[4th&Five 41525]

Phil on fire. -5 through 7. 

[dieucla98 2942]

I believe it was thru only 12 or so holes, but Spieth led the field in strokes gained putting up to that point. A positive sign and turnaround going into Augusta.

[4th&Five 41525]

-6 through 8 now

Familiarity and imagination on greens will do wonders for his stroke next week.

[Southernthunder 38]

Phil with a 30 on the front nine. Damn.

[tx 3 putt 76905]

that was a hell of a front nine 

[rungeflash 322]

Heading out to Humble in about 9 hours....looking forward to seeing Spieth, Lefty, Hossler, Ricky, Rose etc.  Pretty damn nice field.  Weather looks spectacular and the course looked awesome on the tube today.

 

 

[Jive Turkey 12594]

I may need to read this new Tiger bio. He’s pissed about it. 

[4th&Five 41525]

Hossler tied for the lead. 

[Longhornanth 13]

I may need to read this new Tiger bio. He’s pissed about it. 

Listening to it now. About halfway thru. Pretty interesting.

[TahoeHorn 107]

Our boy is smokin'.  6 under for the day so far.

[Stu 25]

Is Jordan the worst putter from under 3 feet of any elite player in the history of the game?  I mean there have been yippers who fall off the map, but he's elite despite missing these putts virtually every round..  

[jettrink 40]

Yep.  He misses the gimmes.  But thank god in amateur golf, people give them.  I'd choke every one.

His putting has been spot on at the Masters.  I hope it continues but am worried this year.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Really hope Hossler can put together four full rounds.
Would love to see him get a last minute spot in the August field.
