FirthofFore Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 For any fans of Random Golf Club, I’ve just started listening to Erik’s 2 part podcast on his experience of playing Augusta. I think only a golfer will get this. It’s 3 hours long and goes from him winning the press lottery to get a spot to a shot by shot re-encountment of his experience my wife walked in while I was cooking dinner and said “what the f*ck are you listening too! It sounds boring” its episodes 16/7 and worth a listen ashmore72 and Splatt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Deal Walsh Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 On 4/8/2024 at 10:58 PM, JockyCalvert said: Im not saying he will win - but I have a sneaky feeling that Adam Scott could go deep this week. His ball striking just looks solid, he's made peace with the flatstick and is actually rolling the rock really well. If he got hot then his game could be good enough for a top (dare I say) 5 finish. My other 'sleeper' picks would have to be Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark. I actually also really like Akshay Bhatia to have a good week, especially as a leftie. Its going to be a great week! I'm a big fan of Adam Scott! He's rolling the rock because he's rocking with L.A.B. I'm also hoping that Will Zalatoris wins the jacket. He has had a lot of top 3 finishes but when he has had shorts putts under pressure his figure 8 putting stroke is like nails on a chalkboard.. but he's switched to a L.A.B. broomstick now so we'll the magic happen!

Tsecor Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 You can just feel the pressure on Rory and it gets worse and worse each year......did he miss his chance when he endured that final round collapse in 2011? 12 years later, we are less confident in his ability to win this tournament. If he happens to be lucky enough to be in the running on Sunday, let's hope that little scared kid does not emerge and cost him a shot at immortality. silver & black and RockerFCC 2 Quote Golf is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middler Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Best week of golf on TV of the year bar none. I've been watching the Masters for over 50 years, and have NOT been disappointed once - you can't beat the back nine on Sunday at every Masters. I got to see the 1989 Masters in person thanks to corporate connections, and I've been politely rejected for the ticket lottery every year since, 34 times - but I still love it.

Dustin211 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) The Masters brings memories of my son. He was born Masters weekend 2005. I watched Tiger win in the hospital. This year he's finishing up his freshman year of college, on the other side of country. Miss him terribly, but the Masters will always bring me back to holding him in my arms, watching Tiger make that incredible shot on the 16th and how perfect that day was for me.
