Eagle11 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 I am ready for this tournament. On my bucket list to attend one day
PhatMack19 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 I'm going one day. I have friends that have been and they it's one of the finest places on Earth. Maybe thats why its the most expensive tickets in sports.http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/masters-tickets-most-expensive-sports-161349161--golf.html

RonBurgundy68 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 It's hard not to pick Tiger or Phil, obviously...My underdog picks: Keegan Bradley (top 10 in almost every tournament this year so far) and Brandt Snedeker
AggiesAreWe Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 I have been twice, '93 and '99, for Wed., Thurs. and Friday rounds. Never been there for the weekend though.My first time I was simply amazed at the elevation changes throughout the course. TV does not do that aspect any justice.

PhatMack19 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 It kinda sucks that they don't show they whole 1st two rounds on TV. I'm sure some channel would love to show it until CBS picks its up at 2. Now it's pouring rain at my house and I don't have anything to watch. :-[

They broadcast live at Amen Corner starting at 9:45am.
Eagle11 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Posted April 11, 2013 I go for Westwood as my underdog and he promptly double bogeys #1
PhatMack19 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 That 14 yr old kid shot a 2 over 38 on the front 9. Not bad at all
king Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 I started watching it awhile ago, and now im addicted. WTF
PhatMack19 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Tianlang Guan finished the 2nd round at +3 and is +4 overall in good position to make the cut.He was assesed a 1 shot penalty on 17 for slow play. That's a bunch of crap if you ask me. It's the biggest tournament of the year!
PhatMack19 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Tiger is -3 on through 8 and is only 1 shot off of the lead
PhatMack19 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Tiger just got hosed on the par 5. He hit the flag and the ball went back 20 yards into the water. If the ball is 6 inches either way he has a 2 foot birdie putt.

The Golf Channel seemed to agree with them and said the Masters is reviewing it. Tiger may get DQ'd for signing an incorrect scorecard.
PhatMack19 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 Tiger given a 2 shot penalty for signing an incorrect scorecard. You have to wonder if it was anyone else if they wouldn't have been DQ'd. Tiger is bigger than the game and the officials know it.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 I wanna know who this "TV Viewer" is that got involved. Wonder if the first name is: Elin.....

[b]Tiger is bigger than the game and the officials know it.[/b][/quote]I agree with the first part but the second not so much. He may be the biggest name in the game currently but the game will go on without him.As for tickets aries, goldentickets.com sells them at a premium (monday practice round this year was $403 per ticket). I went on the masters.com site and signed up for their drawing for next years tickets.
