For me, it is a bit of a farce in places. A ball that almost stops at the hole but rolls off by a huge distance is just not fair to golfers.

I can't really answer this. My hatred for this golf course is harsh. Not the course itself....just all the horrible things that are attached to it.

Ignore that, stick to the course.

But if they're playing well....
The greens are what makes the Masters so special.
I mean, if it was too easy the naysayers would say it's just a Mickey Mouse course.

Are options 1 and 2 incompatible?

I get that but good shots get punished and mediocre ones sometimes not. The soft greens are making it look reasonable today.

It’s a major. It’s meant to be tough, to test their shot making inventory and their putting to the limits. Otherwise, it’s just another PGA birdie darts fest.

It’s not supposed to be easy
Seems a fair test of golf
It’s a nice course

Peter Allis used to say “ is that really golf”
There are some things that just make the best in the world look silly.
Scheffler hit one today landed 12” from the pin spun off the green sideways nearly into a bunker.
But some people like that stuff.

Bet she got one after his win.

I wouldn’t know. But I wouldn’t suggest she’d want one, of all things, on the basis of a win.

If she’s anything like my wife.
Any sort of cash win and it’s a new kitchen.
I know Allis talked some crap but he knew a bit about golf.
️TBF the players all love it !

OK, I think I set the poll to only allow 1 choice.
Edit… I think I have changed it to allow multiple choices.

I think the main reason I enjoy the Masters is it signals the start of the golf season over here. I think it's a hard course due to the slopes on the fairways and the punishing speed of the greens. I think there's loads of courses around the world that could be equally difficult if they tricked up the greens.

Make them firm ,fast and bumpy like ours
Ours are quite sloping and when they make them to fast it’s just silly.
You can hit a two foot put off the green.
