TWShoot67 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Anyone else having problem with the feeds from the Masters.com? They are terrible since they added the Featured groups and 15 & 16. I can't even get the Amen Corner coverage to run straight through without feed interruptions and freezes. Is that the servers or what? Early it was working great but the last two hrs or so have been terrible. Thank god for regular TV coverage in about a 1/2 hr.

Sandy Koufax Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I know we rehash this every year, and I know I can stream it for free, but why in the H-E-double hockey sticks can't we just watch the ENTIRE Master's live? It's called demand. You fill it with supply. The Germans are only dead, when the coffin is nailed shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Koufax Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Wonder who influenced more to play the game...Jack or Tiger? I don't feel qualified to answer, having grown up during Tiger's glory era (I remember reading about Tiger in Boy's Life when he was 15) I would say Tiger but I really don't know enough about Jack's effect on the history of the game. I do enjoy reading and watching on golf channel about the Palmer-Player-Nicklaus times of yore.

JohnBarry Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Wanted to give my first day impressions: Watched all day at work, mainly Amen Corner, and DVRed all the tv rounds (had a Father/Daughter Golf Lesson right after work, was awesome!!!). Watched it all when I got home. Young Gunz, a great term for all these younger, but seemingly very mature golfers putting up great numbers. Rory looks so confident, and if he keeps it, which I think he will, and now plays the course and what it gives you, I think this is his first Major!! man that last group was a blast to watch!! Woodland is no joke, his swing looks perfect!! Phil is wise and experienced, So is Tiger and a few others who know the course, the faster speeds and tougher pin placements we are going to start to see. Someone on the golf channel said it perfectly, there are guys who know how to get around the course, and even if they are not on their A game, like Tiger last year, their experience will guide them through to Sunday. Weather, conditions, course, crowds..yesterday was the dream day to be there, everything looked and sounded so perfect, and I am sure TV doesn't even do it justice. Look at that leader board, so many players in contention, so many great names, so many unheard of's, even great rounds by the AMs!! This year's Master's looks to be one of the best in a very long time!!! John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
