Golf World Golf thread - feat. The 2024 Presidents Cup

Back 9 for me is where the excitement starts...

Holes 12 & 13, my favorite. Closely followed by 15, 16 & 18...

Under the rules she made an error and was penalized accordingly - end of discussion on the penalty

The issue comes about the time frame and review system in place

No issue whatsoever then either....error was discovered under the rules as they exist and penalty meted out as rules say.

Guess that is end of discussion as well.

Am all over Leish like a cheap suit. Got him as the second-leg of some Rich v Carl and Rich v Coll doubles.

Also reckon Berger, Noren and Vegas might go better than expected. Like the latter for leader after round one, given his sparrow's fart start.

Have bet on the holiday money on the event so hopefully land some group multis.

Best four days of the year for those whose AFL team is perennially shite.

Rory
John Rahm
Dustin
Kjeldsen

Are my picks
Top Aussie....Scott

Don't dismiss Angel Cabrera, always plays well here.

My tips

Fowler
DJ
Rory
Hideki

Best Aussie - Leishman

Worst part of Masters week. The comparisons between food prices at Augusta and AFL venues and thanks to social media it occurs every year

Love a 3 ball bet in the first two rounds. Blimey the Walker, DJ and Bubba grouping should get some juicy odds. Very nice group to follow, hope they do show a bit of that group.

Would love to see Freddie Couples do a Bernhard Langer but don't think his back will be up to it.

Might plonk on Zach Johnson

Are the times listed USA times?

 

[Pklz]

Are the times listed USA times?

Yeah so the 9:06am tee of time should be 11:06pm melbourne time if I've done that correctly.

Might plonk on Zach Johnson

Could see him holding up for a couple rounds but not all 4

Actually seen a bit of the Senior Tour the last several weeks and Langer has a good round or two in him from the looks of it.

Well **** you weather. No par 3 contest is as wrong as a pie without sauce

How unlucky to have a slip at such a time... oh well, hope he has Tiger Woods 12 Masters version 'cause that may be the only way he'll be teeing off...

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Got a sneaky $5 on Leishman at 50-1, went close when Scotty won and has won recently on tour so in decent form.
DJ out would be huge as he's been playing awesome the last 6 months or so.
Spieth has an incredible record here. Two 2nds and a win from 3 visits. I think he'll be right up there again on Sunday arvo. Will gain strokes on the field with his putter.
Day and Scotty unfortunately not good chances for me. But loved to be proven wrong.
Justin Thomas a sneaky chance I think too.
Can't wait for the morning.

 

[Pklz]

Put some $ on Rory and got a matched bonus bet which I used on Jon Rahm. Bring on The Masters

What is wrong with DJ?

Fell on a stairwell.

Does anyone know why, after trumpeting their dedicated masters channel, fox sports don't show any of the morning action? How can they say "showing all the action" when they literally miss everything before 2.45PM american time?

 

[Denza]

Just plonked a few bucks on Mcllroy, l think he's primed for this.

Could be Rorys year. However, Dustbin is HOT HOT HOT right now. Although is it right that you need to be able to fade the ball at Augusta?

Lot of right to left holes so favours lefty fades as righty draws will run into trouble with the top spin whereas a fade stops softly.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Dustin Johnson tore everyone a new one last week, averaged 315 yards driving on a damp track the dude is a freak.

Also great to see Adam Scott out there finally at the Honda Classic looking pretty good so far.

Longest driver on the tour, makes squillions playing golf and gets to go home to the hot daughter of The Great One. What a life.

Phil on fire to start
