Golf The Masters - 2024

[greatwhiteshark]

Might be better to be a late tee time as heavy rain forecast for the morning on Thursday.

Not good for the Big Cat to get a late/early slot. Won't be a lot of time between his post round 1 treatment finishing and his 8:24(?) Friday tee time!

Edit: Good thing about being paired with Tiger at Augusta is that it won't be as circus-like as it might have been at a USPGA/Open. The "patrons" can't run, they can't yell out as much, etc etc

The late/early might be a blessing
Thursday morning weather looks not ideal
Tiger/Day/Homa might miss it all

Not the easiest of weather reports to read, but to me, they seem to be having an each way bet on when the storm will go through?

Hoping for not too much rain - because it will be nice and sunny on the weekend which will be awesome if the course gets a bit hard.

If tiger physically survives 2 rounds and makes the cut great effort . Saw film of him walk from car to clubhouse and his right leg looked really bad walking style .

A TW top 10 would be awesome. And Lamprecht looks like an absolute player.

Like the Hideki pick.
Scott has been pretty putrid recently in majors.
Reckon best LIV guy will be Niemann
Tiger will do well to complete both rounds!

Welcome back Elixuh where you been htiting them lately?

Had 3 months off with a shoulder/neck injury. Still not 100%, but just been playing at home last few weeks. Getting back into it. Very rusty.

My club just opened a new clubhouse, underground car park and practice facilities. So its all happening!

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Even though I’ve been a tad patriotic with my selections, I’ll be having a little dabble on Brooks.
Guy is a machine with a killer instinct.
He is all about the Majors…it’s his total focus.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Had the following multi;

Koepka top 5
Scottie S top 10
Fleetwood top 20
Schauffle top 20
Day top 30
McCarthy top 30

$10 @ $258

Going to have to a little bit of perusing of the field for my twice annual bet (Melbourne cup the other) on the 3 ball groupings.

Does anyone rate Zander surely he can break the maiden one day

Well, that's not an easy question to answer, there have been many guys but in short I'll give one example, another golfer who was up there in majors but failed time and time again was Hideki Matsuyama, I know because I identified him as a major champion but whether it was nerves, lack of pressure in majors when he was in contention or that he just wasn't comfortable in those situations early in his career who knows maybe a bit of everything but after awhile when there was less pressure on him he crashed the party, slipped on the green jacket and became a major champion.

I think he can win a major he's going through what Hideki went through, now what major that is, well that's open for speculation, he has the shots the only tweek to his game to get to be a major champion is one thing, holding your nerve on a Sunday and going for your shots, I've watched all Xanders majors and the fact that he hasn't played too bad in most of them leads me to two conclusions.

One I've already posted above and the second one is when in front or equal in the lead he tends to play too safe, now I'm not advocating attacking every hole but in those situations he plays not to lose if that makes any sense instead of playing to win, going for that one shot towards the end where it will get you that major, until he has the confidence to do that he won't break through but if he's daring enough and gets into that position again and instead of playing safe, he drills it then he will be another one struck off the list as best player to not win a major!

 

[The Talent Scout]

The Masters is so close, history beckons, but for what player and what situation? If you like golf then at this time, "you gotta love it"!
Going by the market its tiger all over again, you either go Scottie or take your pick, anyone else, you are going to get good odds!
Unfortunately with the weather for half a day someone is going to be disadvantaged, will be very interesting to see who cops the crap on the first day.

TTS has identified he can't win so surely I'm home lads???

Maybe because this is the first time Larry Mize isn't competing, Greg thinks he is?

I have picked him to miss the cut but if he got a top 10 it would not surprise me. He is arguably the best player ever. how someone like him finishing top 10 would surprise anyone is beyond me.
