Like most grew up loving the old Shark and despising the Pom Faldo , complete opposite for me now you get to hear a lot more of them .
Said for years the TV coverage of the US Tour has caused the worlds golf to be so much slower , us weekenders copy the Pros way too much , there playing for millions and we’re playing for a golf ball .

He was my childhood hero. but feel a bit like you do now. He supported trump ffs. And now endorsing a despicable regime.
Probably use this instead.I wonder whether the Saudi's will use that to promote their new tour
Thought Rose had gifted his match to A.Scott today with that terrible tee shot on 17. But then he holes out with his re-load for par ! Squares hole to stay 1 down to Scott.
Scott bombs it down 18 only to do his usual trick and miss the green from 50 yards out. Thankfully Rose makes bogey and Scott gets by.
Geez watching Scott is hard going.
Swear those greens have been aeorated.
Great city Austin, Texas.

Awesome win by Herbie in the World Matchplay ! Takes down a big scalp in Schauffele on the 18th with a cracking approach shot and sinks it for birdie.
Will go through to the quarters with a lot of confidence after a big win like that !

I have 2 tickets to the Tuesday practice round at Augusta that I now unfortunately won’t be able to use.
If anyone wants them, or knows someone who will use them let me know.
No charge, would rather see them used as opposed to wasted.

Haha, not overly generous on my behalf Red.
Very long story, but got them in the ballot the ANGC runs every year.
Was booked and ready to go in 2020, then Covid hit, Masters postponed so tickets transferred to 2021.
Limited crowds last year, so tickets transferred again to this year.
Anyway can’t go, so happy to give them away. As I got them in the ballot I only paid face value for them. $75 USD each.
Only catch is whoever takes em has to eat a Pimento Cheese sandwich!
Regardless, that’s an amazing give away imo.
Yes, I’ve heard those pimento cheese sandwiches can be a bit polarising. Their $3 beers sound fantastic however.
I actually didn’t mind the pimento sanga, but I get where people are coming from when they say it tastes like thousand island dressing.
Food and beverage prices are insanely good. They have no intention of emptying your wallet.
Quite simply the best sporting event I have attended, and by quite a margin.
As far as I’m concerned TBR, if you want to be guaranteed the best Masters experience you go with one of the organised tours.
There are many Aussie companies that run them, but back in 2014 I went with Teed Up Tours.
They have a couple of different Masters options, I chose the one that included 3 rounds of golf at Pinehurst, 4 days at Augusta (Tues,Wed,Fri and Sun) and 2 rounds at local courses in the Augusta area.
Its the extra add ons these tour groups can offer that makes it worthwhile imo.
For example, Teed Up will organise all sorts of extras for you. Meant to play locally on the Saturday but would rather go to Augusta? They will sort it for you. Want to play Wolf Creek prior to tour starting? They will sort it for you.
Managing Director of Teed Up, Mike Mosher, is a member of Sage Valley, so can organise a round there for all that want to.
These tour groups make it all a stress free experience, transfers to and from course, accommodation etc all sorted.
As for the tickets I got in the ballot, that was pure luck for me. Not sure if you know how it works, but it goes like this.
Simply go to the Masters website, register your details, and wait.
Around late May each year the club e-mails you asking if you would like to apply for tickets for next years tournament.
You can apply for up to 4 tickets per day, and you can apply for all 7 days. Prices are $75 for practice rounds and $115 for tournament days.
But you will only ever get tickets for 1 day. Once you are selected for tickets you are pulled from any other days still up for grabs. It’s then up to you to access other days tickets to compliment what you got in the ballot.
And of course it’s not easy to get tickets in the ballot. It’s free to apply, and you only pay if you are lucky enough to get tickets. I would hate to think how many people apply worldwide. Millions perhaps?
Thats my two bob’s worth. Others may have some great suggestions as well.
I thought the sanga was like eating a toothpaste sanga .
Just on tickets , I think your right Mopsy a tour group is the way to go, I purchased my tickets via stubhub , which is an easy process , however it means you have to organise accommodation etc.
Thanks for the tip with the Golf TV app Rudeford , wondered why the match play wasn’t on Fox.
Mopsy I do know someone who is going to be at Augusta, not sure which days however im sure he’d love the tickets if he’s not allready going…edit dosent get there until Thursday
