Hello, friends. Welcome to a tradition unlike any other. It's the

http://www.masters.com/en_US/index.html

Now that Jason Day has a major, we have a bona fide Big Three in golf again: Jason, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy. Jason is definitely the hottest right now, winning back-to-back at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Dell Match Play, the latter just 2 weeks ago, but all 3 have shown decent form this season.

Tiger isn't playing because he's busy cheating on Lindsey Vonn rehabbing his back.

Mike Weir still has a PGA card somehow and will be playing.

Huh.
He's using a shitload of career exemptions to try to keep his card, but as a par champion he has a lifetime exception for the Masters.

Awkward moment. Billy Kratzert interviewing Tom Watson on the range:

"You said in the paper The Masters was your most important win."

"No I didn't. I said the U.S. Open was my most important win because it was the tournament I wanted to win the most."

"... well what does The Masters mean to you?"

i havent followed the build up at all. how are the greens? have they scaled the speed back a little?
Quite the opposite. Augusta didn't like Spieth opening with -8 and getting to -19, so the greens were at Tournament SpeedTM as of Monday.

His irons are 6-iron length. I can't tell if he's playing the new ones Cobra banged out for him or his old Edels?? Dude is batshit crazy.
They're 37.5" which is 7 iron length. Still Edels.

Actually, 37.5" is average 6 iron length for steel shafts. It's 37.5" 7 iron for graphite shafts.
You're right. For some reason I thought 38" was 6 iron when it's very clearly 5 iron, along with 62* lie and 28* loft for traditional blades.

Jason Day carded an eagle on 2, will probably be a dead heat between he, Speith, and Scott or someone like that entering day 2. Not feeling Rory today.

In red is new construction. Top red circle will be Masters' Village, below that will be a more permanent parking solution. Below that, is Berkman House. First of the new hospitality venues. Across the street is Big Tree Plaza & a very large, very conspicuous cleared lot. Who knows what that might be.

Circled in green is the 50 feet that the National wants to buy from ACC.

Circled in yellow is my house & my grandmother's house.

When did Els switch back to Tmade clubs? Dude was using SLDR driver and Mizuno irons and then switch to all Adams in 2014 and now all of a sudden he's back to Taylormade driver/irons.
TaylorMade bought Adams in 2012 then started the process of shutting it down last year. YErnie, Aaron Baddeley, Bernhard Langer, Tom Watson, Yani Tseng, Brittany Lincicome, none of them wear the logo anymore.
