Appreciate mate. Sorry to be a pain in the arse.
By the way your recommendation for golf TV has been amazing!
Pity they're not covering the Masters.
Looks like live coverage starts at 10.30pm on Foxtel with that "On the Range" show. First pairings go off at 10pm.
12:30am dedicated channel to Amen Corner.
From 2am another channel dedicated to 15 and 16.
Main coverage from 5am on 503
Golf porn!
Yeah I saw that.
What a weekend. Season of Redford 2022 in full flight. AFL, US Masters, F1 GP and Opening Day in the MLB.
Cmoooooon !!!
I should have hit the sack a couple of hours ago.
But I wouldn’t be able to sleep through the thoughts of what’s coming our way.
Bride been told she’s a widow for the next 4 days.
Kids informed they are Fatherless too. Play your Nintendo in your room, I don’t care.
Just leave me and the Masters alone!
Even better!
4 and 6 are very underrated par 3’s. Rarely get spoken about as tournament changers. Elevated tees make them a challenge, especially if the wind is blowing.
In particular 4, I loved standing behind the tee box there on Sunday in 2014. Tees in the back position, it’s a daunting hole, and bloody long.
Par a great score, birdie an absolute bonus.

I do. And that was all on the ANGC wanting to maintain a degree of secrecy, mystique, about the course wasn’t it?
Nothing to do with the broadcasters, they just weren’t allowed to show anything from the front 9, full stop.
Indeed, and they have reaped the benefits ever since.
But it must be said they have spent the money very well. The technology they have installed around the course is mind boggling.
Yeah. And they bought up a lot of the land around them. They can make just about any change they want.
Just reminded me.
They bought a parcel of land from (from memory) the adjacent course around 12-18 months ago now.
The idea being to push the 13th tee back 20 or 30 yards to make the hole tougher.
Hasnt happened yet afaik, but 11th and 15th tees have been moved back 20 odd yards since the last time we were here.
And shot with those inferior old US TV cameras with resolution of about 240p, with about three colours, mainly oversaturated green.
Watched a little bit of the par 3 comp before - 86-year-old Gary Player, 79-year-old Raymond Floyd and 72-year-old Tom Watson all hit it to three feet on the first and maybe 10 feet on the second. Love seeing that stuff.
