Who's got Brooksie, Sergio, Phil, and DJ as their picks?

None of those four for me. Not been watching the LIV so don't know how well they've been playing. Some good sticks been playing events here. Scheffler, Burns, McElroy, Champ, etc. All four of those looked pretty good this past week. Good play at The Players Championship also.

I'm having a cataract removed next Tuesday. So, no golf for me for a few days. Will be watching most of the Masters, this year, from my recliner.

Masters weekend means this guy’s birthday weekend!!! The one and likely only time of year now, that I have full control over the television!

Good luck with that surgery Limp, I’ll be joining you in a recliner watching what I hope to be some great golf!!

2 of those 4…..

Goin LIV ‘cause no one else will. Better odds if one of those squirrels finds the nut. Distance and short gamers for the win.

A Comprehensive History Of Every Change Made To Augusta National Golf Club

Pretty cool visual on how the holes have changed over the decades. The 16th has changed the most dramatically.

I can not wait to see what the “new” 13th brings to the table.

I do not like what they did to 15 a coupe of years ago. Used to be a great risk/reward hole, but they lengthened it to the point most do not go for it in two any more. I hope the new 13 does not end up the same way.

Groups and Tee Times

Of note: I think I heard that no L*V player is grouped with anyone in the OWGR top-15 (maybe it was top-50)

I linked it in that post. They show all 18 holes.

Watched the Master’s Chairman’s press conference. One reporter asked about his December press conference where he dissed the LIV golfers for playing for the Saudi government. He danced around it. Not a single reporter had the balls to ask him how many Augusta members had Saudi ties/business dealings. Still a bit of a double standard, keeping LIV players out by using a ranking system that they are not rated/included in while still not revealing their own membership’s status with the Saudi government and their holdings.

Same old same old.

Sure fire way to get your entire media company permanently banned from the Masters
