Ridiculous power, weird mechanics. from what i understand that's a "speed" drill he does on occasion to get his swing speed as high as it can be w/o regard for ball flight. but yeah i be afraid i'd never swing a golf club again after that, but his iron/short game is better than people give him credit for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Rory and Koepka so far, need 3 more. I like Finau too. There was one year where you took Ricky Fowler every time as it seemed he was in the running every week. Even if he didn't win he gave you some points. think you have to add bryson, his short game is better than people think. DJ just because, dark horse westwood (but his putting always lets him down) need a good putter which is why i might event consider Reed as much as I hate him. BTW did you see they paired him with berger 1st two rounds who's called him out for cheating before. love it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives me pause because of how hilly Augusta is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I have the tournament up on my second screen (thank you WFH). Some of the greens already have the beginnings of that slightly dry, brownish sheen, at least when viewed from above. Of course they are only televising 4,5 & 6 right now.

It looks like conditions aren't letting anyone go deep today at least so he won't be completely out of it. I just say Vijay chip in for triple from behind the green on 15. In my regular group, that counts as a 0 putt so it would be the best of a bad situation since we play low, gross, low net and low putts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like games like that which can keep all skill levels engaged. That's why I always liked bingo bango bongo so much when I was getting into the game. I was rarely the first to hole out, but I could certainly be first on or closest to the pin once I finally got on the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Zalatoris is a stud. I faded him because well, this is his first Masters....so he goes out and posts a 70. He may not win it but He’s not going anywhere next 3 days. Top 10, book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I’m saying it’s like that. One of the things I love about the Master’s is the risk/reward nature and the fact that you can score if you play well.

Everyone ponies up $3. $1 for gross, $1 for net and $1 for low putts. We also have games within each foursome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Open is a different kind of struggle with deep rough while this more of a shot placement difficulty. You miss in the wrong spot and it’s an easy bogey. Love it.

Greens are slick, I saw one guy putting for an eagle from about 30 feet, he just tapped the ball and it zoomed past the hole, off the green into the water. He ended up going from putting for eagle to a bogey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I fully expect Rose to drop back today. Yesterday’s round (back 9) was an all timer. I’m thinking a +2/+3 round is in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
