You're sick in the head. Those pictures were awesome.

I've never played ND's course. Been offered many times and I hope to get on it soon.

I couldn't imagine only having 1 round played this year! I live in the middle of Cali and am already 15 rounds in for the year. I play most friday mornings and on some wednesday afternoons. Please don't mistake frequency with quality, i'm a 11 but on a pretty easy track. My buddies and I go on a weekend trip yearly to the Monterrey area and that 11 doesn't travel very well!!! Go low and GO IRISH!!!

Nice choice of days and times to play. You probably have the course to yourself when you're out there. Keep your head down and Go Irish!

I've seen the video a million times, but this is the first time actually seeing an aerial of The Shot. "Bend it like Bubba."

If that was me instead of Bubba, there is a very good chance someone in that crowd is going to be severely injured.

If it was me, I'm not sure those those pants would have stayed white. Then again, if I was in contention going into the final round at The Masters I wouldn't have worn white pants to begin with.

Wow. I've never seen that view. That's almost 90 degrees. Unreal.

There will be a plaque laid in that position in the near future.

And just to think - if it was a right handed pro golfer, the shot is likely impossible.

oh hell no....u should see the way i hit...that would have been par for course...in the woods...hit it again and slice the f#ck out it ...yep that how i do it....easily done if the club head is open...now getting it to do it on command w/ accuracy..now that is not so easy

I'm sure that I've hit shots with that trajectory (if I managed to avoid a tree or two), but never on purpose. I've landed balls in streets, on RR tracks, in backyard pools and bounced a few off of roofs. Never on the green. Well, maybe on the wrong green ...

This is true. But I do think, generally and on command, it is easier to hook a ball farther than it is to slice --> and even more so with a 52 degree gap wedge in your hand.

Highly disappointed in the lack of Masters coverage until 3pm. And here I was excited to have today off. There is absolutely no reason for this and completely unacceptable, if not criminal.

Go to the Masters official website and follow online. It'll hold you over until TV coverage begins.

Yeah it's pretty F'd up coverage. Tiger tees off at 10:45 EST and live coverage doesn't start till 3? WTF? I've got it on the Golf channel, but it seems like they're just doing highlights and interviews till ESPN starts coverage?

Yeah. Just analysis and scores. I think espn might show highlights as they happen but that gets really annoying with repeat highlights of other sports on sportscenter.

And the coverage on Masters website has like 6 different things going on. It's really not bad. I think the "featured groups" that they will cover at noon will include Tiger's group.

Billy Payne was doing a presser yesterday and said he believed "less is more" in terms of coverage on live TV. I mean it's absurd logic, but at least when it is on there is 55 minutes of golf for every hour.

live coverage of Amen Corner available now on The Masters smartphone app. They will have other coverage starting soon on there for people who can watch on computer or TV.

ESPN now officially sucks at everything. If the first tee time is at 10, then starting airing at 10, not 3...

Has nothing to do with ESPN. Augusta National runs everything in regards to the Masters and they believe "less is more" when showing it live. ESPN has only been able to show any of the first 2 rounds for a couple years.

With technology the way it is today, you should be able to watch any golfer live from your computer or mobile device. TV is another animal though.

I think it'd be cool to click the golfer and have a video screen come up that not only shows every shot, but also has a mic to listen in on the convo. They should also have a small area on the screen that shows club selection and yardage for each shot...maybe even wind mph and direction too. That kind of stuff is fun to know. When you get tired of watching that golfer, simply click on another name.
