Let's talk Masters

If my golf swing looked 1/4 like Freddy Couples'.....

No shit. That guy has about as pretty a golf swing as you could ever hope for.

This coming from someone that knows absolutely nothing about golf. What are the chances Jordan could win this?

Gonna be difficult for a 1st timer like Jordan under these circumstances. Tons of pressure on all those guys right now. With that being said, the kid doesn't seem to be negatively effected by pressure on the course very often. Can he win it? Yep. Will he? Hopefully.

@ESPNStatsInfo: 29 of top 30 players in world played the Masters. 14 of them missed the cut, including last 2 major champs - Phil Mickelson & Jason Dufner.

I just got back from a day at the Masters.  My daughter and son in law took me to wednesday's practice round.  A visit to Augusta National in April when the flowers are blooming has been at the top of my bucket list for a long time and this year we went.  Fellas, it was everything i'd always hoped for and more.

Honestly, I really didn't care if I saw the players all that much.  What I wanted to see was the course--the elevations and slope of the fairways and greens, the colors, the grounds, the pines, the clubhouse, the roars.  Ended up seeing about 80% of the players anyway.  Watched a few practice.  Watched Jordan Spieth a bit, and Rory and Adam some.  Got to see one player rinse a sleeve at the 12th--Tin Cup style.

It was awesome.  Not a blade of grass out of place, not a scrap of paper on the ground, the bathrooms were kept immaculate, the food was cheap ($1.50 for a sandwich, $3 bucks for a beer) and lines not long at all.  Weather was perfect--mid 70's and lots of sun.  Every person we met was extremely helpful and friendly.

The slope of the course can't be seen on a two dimensional TV screen, but it was easy to see why putts roll the way they do.

I spent a small fortune at the pro shop and then some more shipping it all home.  Would have paid a lot for a golf cart by the end of the day, but  I'd go again in a heartbeat.

Jordan doing work!  \m/

Nice par by Spieth on 10 to reach within one of Bubba.  11 is supposedly a "trouble" hole for Bubba so hopefully Jordan can make up a stroke here.

Man, Jordan is really hurting himself. That water hazard is not doing him any favors.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Man, felt like I jinxed Jordan. Bubba's drives are ridiculous.

Bubba is 3 up with 4 holes to play.  Beer run time.
