Anyway on Topic , I downloaded the app thanks for the people providing actually feedback on its worthiness ... there are a lot of s*** apps out there its nice to get real reviews of how people like it ... going to have to check out the watch espn app too since I am a cable cutter

You can use WatchEspn on Xbox if you have a gold subscription, but WatchEspn.com requires you to login with a username and password provided by your cable provider. If you don't pay for cable they don't give you access to any of the good stuff. Long story short, you might not get masters coverage without a cable tv account.

and to top it off they don't want to let you download the app in Canada ... looks like I will be going up to the cottage masters weekend

One of us probably should have mentioned that the video streams are for US residents only. That would have been a handy piece of info to provide.

Thats ok for me , I use a VPN

My fellow Canadians, do not fret any longer. The TSN Masters app is for us and works great. I've used it the last two years to watch while at work. I've used it on my iPad and iPhone. Not sure if it's available for android though.

And for being helpful for those who would like to know what it does, here's the Android description that took me all of 2 seconds to find, copy and paste:

That proves my point. I said the app was available and would probably take 5 seconds to find and download. You said it took you 2 seconds to "find, copy and paste". So, add 3 more seconds to download and everyone could have accomplished what I intended as a useful quick bit of information-- downloading and evaluating the Masters app...and in only 5 seconds.

People didn't like it that I said "no, do it yourself". Had you done that in the first place (in 5 seconds), you wouldn't be whining that I didn't do it for you. It would have saved all of us the needless posting complaining/responding about my well-intended bit of info. Why not simply download the app first, and then discuss what it offers and whether you enjoy it.? don't have an opinion anyway because the Masters hasn't even started yet. Sorry for pushing back (not really), but I thought it would be a good lesson that people ought to be able to handle some difficult things themselves, like visiting an app store and downloading a free app that they might enjoy (and if not, simply delete it).

I've seen this same mentality in the rules and equipment forums as well. Fine, ask for opinions and discuss the merits and deficiencies of the rules and equipment. However, before you ask for opinions, be informed and get the FACTS; they are readily available, for example, on the USGA website, the Titleist or Mizuno website, or in this case the local app store. If people get the facts first, the discussions are a bit more intelligent and we avoid the "blind leading the blind".

I've been on various golf forums longer than most. Sometimes I have the time and desire to research and post lengthy items; sometimes, as in this case, it's just a quick tidbit. Why is there an expectation that other people should look up the answer to your question for you, whether it is trivial like this app or something more complex about the rules, and then post the answer for you? You could have just as easily done it yourself, This feeling of entitlement strikes me as rude and inconsiderate of other Golfwrx members' time, in this case, mine, especially when I simply did a favor in the first place.

The Masters app post was admittedly trivial, but it served as an opportunity to write about a larger issue-- that some things can be done faster and better by doing it yourself and not imposing (or expecting) others to do it for you. As with a father spanking his child, it may hurt him (or me) more than the child, but it was nevertheless a useful lesson. Carry on and be as snarky as you wish, I don't need the bitching or moaning or have the time to deal with this type of complaining when I do take the time post.

Get the TSN Masters app. It has all the videos that ESPN and the Masters.com app have. They still have the two featured groups, 15/16, and amen corner.

I don't have TV, I've just been streaming golf daily online. I still watch golf thursday through friday on Golf Channel, NBC, CBS, etc. You just have to find streams online, and not mind the reduced quality. Fortunately I order TV for this week. I need the Masters in HD!! I'll promptly cancel it after the PGA. 34.95 through Shaw plus $10 sports package (golf channel). They bumped the $34.95 to $19.95 for 3 months... and waived the $10 sports package for 3 months as well. So $20 a month to watch the Majors. Worth it IMO.

Didn't read a single word, but lets place over/under bets on age of OP.

20.5

I got $20 on under.

[MountainKing]

Yeah I didn't read a word of that either and I'd be willing to be you're correct. But he's put more time into being an total a** when it would have taken him all of a few seconds to answer a question and move on.

[scratchswinger]

This App is so [size=4] good!!! I don't know what cameras they use to shoot still photos and video but they are way better quality than anything else that I currently see on the net or TV. [/size]

[size=4]I spent about an hour last night going through the photo's and videos on the app. It's really cool to see how the course has changed, look at the players gear and even the spectators. Cannot wait for the range video to start soon. [/size]

I got a new golf club...

 

It's not that hard to provide a little info with a post. Having an Android usually means you know something in detail.

Here's the main screen from the app:

You took the time to write this, and several other posts unloading on anyone who asked a simple question? Looks like the real purpose of the thread was you.

The app is fantastic, and the Augusta Chronicle Masters app is really good. I don't know how to provide a link, but if you ask I won't bite your head off and go on and on about how great I am doing you a favor.

[mufan1]

Incredibly, for the featured pairings, they did NOT choose Tiger+Luke group for Thursday, but did for Friday. Thursday they will not be in the TV window, but Friday they will. Really don't understand this. So many people would be using the app solely for Tiger. Don't quite get that one.

[canucker]

Big screw you to TSN, the canadian rights holder for no Android app. Masters.com has one (but its video streaming is geoblocked), so those of us in Canada and with android cant watch the streaming properly (if youre device is fast enough you could try the flash video on tsn.ca, but still.... tsn sucks)

What a load of crud. A jazzy website and an ipad app doesn't make up for the fact that there's only four hours of proper TV coverage a day. For The Open Championship we get 12 hours of coverage every day and in the UK that's without a single advert.

But the Masters app and website we get nine hours of coverage per day, coverage of the par 3 tournament, hours of range coverage every day, two marquee group coverage per day, two different three hole and two hole full coverage of all players per day. Then there's the TV coverage.

I take your point but for example tomorrow we're only going to see a handful of holes from the likes of Tiger, Bubba, Westwood, Snedeker and Donald. Don't see how anyone can say how great the coverage is while such a state of affairs persists. Like I say at The Open Championship full television coverage starts when opening groups tee off and finishes when the final groups finish. That's the standard.

[Frankensteins Monster]

That's because of the poor decision of the marquee group selection. That's a black eye. It was last year also.

Even if they picked Tiger's group it would still be a poor substitute for showing all of the morning golf. Someone could go out and shoot 62 tomorrow morning and we'd see next to nothing of it.
