Does anyone have a vid of the new media center built at Augusta...it's a MUST SEE....it is so crazy nice...it's huge with tons of amenities, state of the art technology, etc etc. And only used once a year...that's crazy. Billy Payne and his racist & misogynistic fellow Board of Directors have really greased corporate America for money....along with all the other revenue streams.
So the Monday practice rd was washed out...does anyone know if those patrons are allowed to attend today?

Not a huge Masters fan. To me it's kind of the ANA Inspiration of men's golf.

I like Duval and Arron Ober analysis...though Ober made a wrong call on a predicted winner recently.
FIGJAM's hair dye is quite obvious...ya think that his $200 tip to his hair gal would result in a better job.
Did I hear it correctly...when the guys come to Augusta....the weeks prior to the Masters' week...they are required to hire a local loop....though why wouldn't they want local knowledge...I assume their regular loops can walk along and get educated too...especially the newbies....Rahm commented on this.
The weather will be lousy Thurs and Fri and could it possibly create an unexpected winner?...though FIGJAM feels this is an advantage to the veterans.
The reporters just tried to bait FIGJAM if he thought Dustin DUMBO Johnson was either a really SMART or really DUMB....luv it...FIGJAM just acknowledged the BAITING from the reporter. FIGJAM Rules.
Seems like everyone at the Masters' press conference is being question on #4STROKEGATE.
OMG...FIGJAM just said the penalty should be reversed and Lexi SHOULD BE GIVEN THE TROPHY.....Luv FIGJAM. OK...now it's Happyfan's turn to RANT....let em have it Happy.

Whoa....love it. They won't let it go. re: Lexi.....a reporter just questioned FIGJAM...... if we should selectively decide when the rules of golf should be applied. And now FIGJAM is back tracking and squirming....LOVE the DRAMA.....end of presser. Now NB III, Sands & Nobillo will chat more about it.
This 4 stroke penalty is the greatest thing that has happened for the LPGA.....all this discussion at the Masters....OK...OK...the media have little to discuss in GOAT #2's absence.
Whan is a brilliant man...sending in that email
FIGJAM also outed some of his fellow colleagues for 'loosely' marking their golf balls.

Masters.com is pretty amazing...they just showed Spieth on the range hitting a couple of irons with tracer technology. Don't know which club, but he had 132 MPH ball speed on both shots...went about 180 yards. Unfortunately, they just blew the horn to get everyone off the course.
Did anyone try to sit through Drive Pitch & Putt on GC? Thirty seconds was the max for me. A bunch of tour turtles in training...saw a kid walk two loops around his putt before missing it. Apparently, they never heard of Gene Sarazen ("Miss it quick!").
UPDATE: They just showed Justin Rose from earlier on the range with a 3 wood. Hit four of them...the last one carried 266 and curved only four feet! (or was it four yards?)

Augusta boss Billy Payne made a long address to the media today, then took a few questions. The next-to-last one was from Christine (Battleaxe) Brennan who asked him what he thought of Mr. Orange and his connection to golf and his general comments over the last two years. Billy channeled Sgt. Schultz ("I know nothing!"), replied with verbal mush, and pretty much dismissed her question. Well played, sir, well played!

Ya it was boring to watch the DCP...but if it was me...I'd probably take my time too....it's freakin Augusta.

Another rained out day and another day ticket holders get burned. With lousy weather for the next two days....we might see a Mon finish.

I will enter this contest, my picks are due at 6pm PDT. I am terrible at this, any suggestions in the next three hours?
Pick 10 golfers in the order you decide.
On Thursday you will use the lowest score of the first 4 golfers. (You cannot use him again)
On Friday you will use the lowest score of the first 4 golfers (this means you use the golfer in the 5th spot since you crossed off one of the first 4. On Saturday you will use the lowest scored of the first 4 golfers in your list who have made the cut. If all your golfers make the cut, you will be using the players in positions 1 through 6 on your list. If one of your players misses the cut, you will use the player in position 7. If two golfers miss the cut you will also use the player in position 8.
On Sunday you will use the use the low score of any of the unused golfers on your list. If everybody makes the cut, you will have 7 players left.
**If two of you players tie for low score you use the player that is ranked worse on the world golf ranking.

So the Monday practice rd was washed out...does anyone know if those patrons are allowed to attend today? Nope. A one day ticket is only good for that day. They limit the number of 'patrons' on the grounds. Since the 'patrons' were on site till 2:30 (I think) that may well have been the end of their Masters this year. When we were there several years ago the Monday round was washed out at 10:00 am. 'Patrons' weren't even allowed to stop in the merchandise tent for souvies, due to lightning,safety concerns - get them off the grounds. At first the announcement was that that was it for those folks. But - so much blowback - we heard that they would be offered first crack at tickets the next year. Lucky us, we were there from 8:00 - 6:00 the next day. Luck of the draw!
