The Masters 2023

[richk9holes]

Consensus seems to be high scores, but I'm never surprised when the best in the world go low regardless of conditions. Speaking of, worst of the weather looks to be over the weekend. I'm confident in my pick of cut line at E. The few (or maybe 1..Scottie Scheffler) player who separates from the field will be -6 or 7, then the weekend plunges half the remaining field back toward E while those select few who are firing darts push each other to -12 or 13

Fresh cut grass, birds chirping.  Can’t wait to get up at the crack to watch the first tee shots.

The coverage starts at 3AM my time.

I've already warned my 2 year old that there's no Cocomelon when she wakes up tomorrow. We're watching Rory complete his career grand slam

Your 2 year old will "fargive" you hopefully

That’s a bit earlier than me, but not by much.  Putting my money on Tiger.  Well if I were to put any money on anyone it would be him.  Until he retires.  Then who knows, maybe Charlie by that point.

My big $1.91 on fanduel was split on 2 parlay bets.

[Splatt]

Just watching a repeat of the par 3 contest.

It makes me laugh how some guys take it very seriously and then you've got Jordan Speith getting his 17 month old have a putt, haha

[Splatt]

Kevin Na opens with a double 

That's not what you want

So some very disappointing news for me. 

I have to watch Golf on Sky here in Switzerland which isn't bad. Normally actually pretty good coverage and enjoyable. However I saw (last week) that Faldo is coming back to announce only on Sky. I was so happy when he left and I just don't enjoy listening to him. Guess I will be watching all of it in German and using the Masters App. 

I can pass you a few links for those shady streaming websites... that's what I use

I am thinking that 18 players will be a bit uncomfortable this weekend having to wear pants.

KNa already off to a terrible start and those pants do not look nearly as tailored as they used to.  That cannot be a coincidence.

[GolfSpy TCB]

Pretty awesome coverage on the Masters.com site.  I just watched all 6 shots that Kevin Na played on #1 (and by the way... spoiler alert: he didn't walk in his double putt  )

[GolfSpy BOS]

I'm going to try my hardest to not even look at my fantasy related stuff until like... Saturday.

I'll fail, but at least I've set a goal! haha

Enjoy the least productive work days of the year my fellow masters fans!

Watching the live at the range coverage and they are showing JT.   He has a cleaning brush attached to his belt and cleans his club after every shot.   Wondering when the posts will start asking what brand it is and will we start seeing local golfers sporting the groove cleaner on their belt?   

Bones, having established his own lofty perch on the tour, must have finally said "if you want them cleaned that often Justin, do it yourself" .  Will this become the next club twirl?

I've already checked the easyofficepools leaderboard three times this morning even though none of my guys are playing yet, so I have utterly failed a goal like this 

With Vokeys on the line, my will power is non existent!

I also inadvertently lied, Keith Mitchell is on course so one of my guys are playing! Lol

Yes!!! I’m powerless against the vokeys!!!

Kevin Na WD.  Guess he didn't like the way his round started.

And down goes the first LIV golfer. The thought of a potential 4 days of golf must have been too fatiguing...

Ok, I'm done throwing jabs at the LIV guys

Obviously Tiger's group is going to be followed closely. Looking at the pairing, the group I'm most excited to watch is Morikawa/Fitzpatrick/Zalatoris

I've got Fitz for my dark horse- He's really good in nasty weather and throwing darts. It should be a REALLY interesting group

[mikeanthony]

Kevin Na has withdrawn! Lol His body language during ESPN+ coverage of holes 4-5-6 was awful.

Some of these LIV guys got the absolute shaft with these opening pairings.

Rahm's Victory on Sunday is going to have great backstory after his Double on #1.

Fox Sports:  "LIV golfer Kevin Na has withdrawn from the Masters due to an undisclosed illness after shooting 40 on the front nine."  

Sounds to me like the illness was perfectly disclosed... 40 on the front nine.  haha.

After the double I wondered if it was too late to change my fantasy pick

Lot of golf left for him.  But not a great way to start.  I think the scoring is going to be tough today.

What do you think CNos... Rahm going to get back to even after 2?  What an approach shot!!

Maybe he really was sick....never know.

At least get one back.   I have to admit the Masters app hole by hole replay of each shot is great;  I missed the shot and went on there to watch it again.

I wouldn't doubt that he may really be sick....  But we've seen pros play sick and stick it out when they're under par.  My guess is the score had a larger percentage of the impact on his WD.
