The 2018 Masters Thread

[Hawkeye77]

Jordan growing a stache? I hope so.

 

Me too, but just so I can laugh at it and hear him in front of the mirror - "Dang it Jordan, can't you trim it even this time? Dang it Jordan, Peter Finch's grows in like 5 minutes, why can't you get this done?"

[Hawkeye77]

 

 

IS that a ball in Tiger's pocket or is he really happy to see Phil?

 

It's all fun and games until someone tells them Hal Sutton saw the pics and is calling Furyk with a brilliant idea!

Play better golf

 

Well, the Masters is a limited field event, so perhaps some of these fellows will be playing in the other majors?

[Chip32]

Phil just confirmed he believes it is the most anticipated masters of all time

 

I need my hallucigens and a safe place...cant comtain this hype

 

Couldn't agree more with Philip's comment

[rafer11]

These pairings!!!!

 

Spieth, Noren, Oosthuizen!!

McIlroy, Rahm, Scott = Stripe Show

Rose, DJ, Cabrera-Bello

Mickelson, Fowler, Kuchar

Sergio and JT

Bubba, Henson, Day

Leishman, Woods, Fleetwood

 

Augusta is giving us what we want to see right out of the gate!

 

Great pairings...

 

My Lord, I love this tournament! Can't wait for Thursday....

 

love the Phil, Kuch and Ricky pairing.

 

how do you feel about the stock on Leish and Fleetwood being with Woods? What about Woods people with 2 people that probably never played with? Playing with familiar faces has to do something, even if minimally, to your round. You could see the fun Woods was having playing with Sneds the last few times he went out there.

 

I sort of thought the draw was lopsided a bit. Most of the big name are going out late-early (Mickelson, Fowler, Kuchar, McIlroy, Spieth, Rose, DJ, Scott) vs early-late (TW, Garcia, Thomas, Day).

 

Would be interesting to see 1000's of numbers crunched on whether players play better with friendly faces vs foes vs unknowns.

I've never seen WRX this excited before.

 

 

 

We might be at 30 pages before the end of the par 3 tomorrow.

In a bet between 2 people... how many people would you need to be given to select from in an over the field bet?

 

For example, if I offer you the ability to pick either

 

a) 6 players

b) the field

 

are you taking your top 6 players, or taking the field and making me take the 6 players?

 

I think the 50/50 (spread if you will) is somewhere around maybe 8 players?

[Frankensteins Monster]

When did golfers attire go terribly wrong?

 

 

TIger's is fine minus the terrible collar. Phil's looks like a tablecloth. I know they're not dressed in the two sizes too small shirt like European golfers do that you like.

 

Uh? I understand you are trying to do some irony but that Tiger shirt looks pretty fit to me, not like the shirts he used to wear

 

Tiger’s isn’t as tight as a euro cut. And please, we’re trying to forget Tiger’s pleats and tent sized shirt style phase. Don’t ever mention it again!

[lowndes]

I’m so excited for this tournament. I had a pimiento cheese sandwich for breakfast, on way to golf course bought a plane ticket for tonight and tickets to the Masters tomorrow and Thursday, and then proceeded to break 80 for the first time in my life. One of the greatest days of my life.

[rafer11]

I'm just praying this isn't a Willett/Immelman/Weir type of year (I'm Canadian, love ya Weir)... but with all this HYPE... if someone like Cabrera-Bello wins I'm gonna be pissed :angry: :angry2: :angry22: :taunt:

Wow what's going on behind those flowers?

Anyway, Nike tshirts are terrible, especially at Augusta. Nike please stop, it's golf.

Historically, Nike has had great golf shirts. This year, not so much.

We agree to disagree, now please stop.

What big name is going to miss the cut?

[CEPick]

What big name is going to miss the cut?

One of the top 5 betting favorites will IMO (Rory, Tiger, Spieth, DJ, or JT).

 

I believe it will be DJ or JT.

DJ better stay away from all stairs. I still go conspiracy theory and say he failed a drug test and the fall was a cover up.

Give me 9 vs the field

 

In England, where betting is fortunately legal, the number of prop bets is mindblowing:

 

Big Guns (thomas,mcilroy,woods,dj,rose,speith) vs. field is about 3/2.

And so it begins....Can't wait till tickets have forbidden phrases lists on the back.

 

Just been told security staff at Augusta National have been handed a sheet with a list of sayings that are prohibited. I'm told "dilly dilly" is one of them. Patrons who shout out these phrases will be "removed" immediately

Apparently he was hitting on Rahm's wife/girlfriend pretty heavily and Rahmbo pushed him down the stairs

Probably is, but I think "Pimento sandwich!" is okay.

Don't you dare use pimento sandwich in vain.

[rockinar]

ANGC and it's traditions are old and outdated. It's time to put the wrecking ball to this place. It's not 1955 anymore. Replace it with TPC Sawgrass as a major. Nobody cares about these racist old farts and their pimento sandwiches anymore. This tournament is so overhyped that even Ricky Fowler can recognize that.
