Golf

Yeah, fair points.

Water at the front and slippery chip if you go over the back. There's a lot of slope on the green, was there all that many eagles?

Good points too.

I personally think it’s the ANGC attempt to make the course tougher against par.

DJ won 2 years ago at what, 20 under?

Cameron Smith, whilst not winning, became the first ever player to shoot 4 rounds in the 60’s.

Theres even been talk of every player using a ball manufactured by the club, not their sponsored ball.

They have fought against technology making the course too easy for a while now.

Its a very interesting discussion, whichever side of the fence you sit on.

Yeh, heard Rahm whingeing about the wind on 12. He pulled it. When you pull it it goes longer.

He constantly complains about conditions affecting his shots.

Spieth seemingly can't help himself, wonder he hasn't employed a sports physc to try and calm mimself a bit.

Spieth has lost the plot as far as I am concerned.

His swing has become as un-natural a thing as you will see in pro golf.

Prior to backswing he adjusts his thumbs constantly, can’t/won’t keep ‘em still.

Then at top of backswing does some other adjustment, with his wrists I think.

I am no swing technician, clueless actually, but his swing now seems forced. There’s nothing natural about it imo.

Speith puts 2 in the water on 12 again, just like in 2016.

Not so chirpy now
 
Looks like we may have a handy Presidents cup team , quite a few internationals looking good .

Watching the replay of the 1987 event , pretty sure Norman hit 7 iron from 165 yards( 150 metres) just shows how much technology has changed the game , especially the ball.

geez this Masters is building into a ripper , just need Tiger to hang on and make the cut
 
Huge break for Scheffler, hit it so far right he misses the creek and escapes with a birdie, it is his day but playing very well.
 
How good not hearing the flogs yelling out “ Get in the hole “ , read that they get kicked out

Great decision if that's true, and the evidence would suggest that's the case. You just know there would be a bunch of obnoxious Yanks just dying to get there voices on the coverage otherwise. They should ban it at all PGA events IMO

I read something the other day about all there rules .

Gary Players son was caddying for him held up a box of the brand of balls he was using , Club kicked him out never to return . Gary McCord used the term bikini wax and has never been allowed back , etc etc

It might be heresy on this thread but Augusta’s 17th and 18th are terrible closing holes. I can see why they were originally eight and nine.

Well, they can't keep out blacks any more, so they do what they can to remain exclusive.

I agree. The 2 worst holes on the back nine. And nine is not a great hole either.
 
My bargain basement 8 point pick Takumi Kanaya only birdied one of the 8 par fives for his 2 rounds, he missed the cut by one ******* shot:cry:
Well done to kyuss and AA and Spook, you blokes nailed your selection.

WIndy conditions testing the players in the second round of the 2022 US Disasters. Nobody under par.

Angle Cabrera and Big Bus Kyuss have a handy lead over the Duke. But if that wind stays up like its supposed to, anything could happen. Although having all 6 players make the cut is a big advantage.

Who can make headway ?

Me, T-Bone and Jazz are ***'ed. Heh heh heh heh...
