I enjoyed it - wasn't the most exciting but not the dullest - great to watch so many different golfers in the coverage
Comments on the Masters please

Homer done up like a kipper AGAIN!!! :rofl:
Indeed and in the end I prefer the likes of Harman over Azinger or Cotter. It was only the Brown snippets on the BBC that kept that interest. The front nine was good viewing but still not an epic. The back nine and the last four-five holes were very tame.

I am shocked how many people found it dull I thought the Bubba v Jordan battle was fasinating especially on a course that was playing so difficult you knew oit could bite your arm off.

i must disagree with you on the BROWN being interesting HOMER,every bloody year he rolls his balls on the greens and tells us how hard it is to get to the pin,WE GET IT KEN!!!!!!! like we have for the past 7 years.
To that end I agree and Ken on the Course has run its course (no pun intended) but I did think he's commentary was quite refreshing.

That's purely because they are "Tiger" fans as opposed to golf fans.

Hopefully they will take the "in the hole" and "mashed potato" fans away with them when they leave after Woods retires

Shouters were around before Tiger came onto the scene. I would had thought a man of you're vast knowledge and insider's info would had known that....:rofl:

How much PGA Tour golf was actually televised back in the 80's and 90's? AFAIR, Satellite TV was in its infancy and only golf on British TV was when the Open came around.
What else did Tiger start that you blame him for? Club dropping? Swearing? :rofl:

Then why make the direct link between Tiger and these so called idiots. Like you said, not Tiger's fault.
Morons have always been there. Even when Nicklaus first came onto the scene, he was jeered and had rude insults thrown at him.
Gary Player I believe it was, was racially insulted during one round.
Shouting stupid things at tournaments did not start in 1996........

Sadly not a classic but Bubba played the course well using his length and accuracy off the tee to good effect. The dangers of Amen Corner weren't a factor for him and no one was able to challenge him so it ended rather tamely. A worthy champion and amazed that I for one didn't see him as a potential winner this year.
That isn't in itself the fault of the course. I recall loosing interest when Oosthuizen cruised to the Open at St Andrews. The truth is that with any sport you need a close finish to generate excitement and by it's nature now and again that simply doesn't happen. Let's not forget that the Masters has thrown up some great finishes recently so it was due a quieter one.
I'm sure the organisers will have a think about how to make the course "Bubba-proof", but in all honesty I don't think they can or should change too much. Bubba had the game to win but his 74 on Saturday and Jiminez's great result showed that beating Augusta isn't all about power.
As for the course being too difficult, well this is the top of the sport. The margins are small and the need for precision and nerve greater. Imagine a seaming pitch with Mitchell Johnson on song, or Murali bowling on a dry turner, and a good test side can get skittled and the best batsmen look like beginners. But would we want all the pitches to be flat and dead?
Bring on Pinehurst. Even par to win!

It's been said several times that it wasn't close but Bubba was two shots back with eleven to play

It was close for a while and looked like it may turn in to a battle on the back 9, but it didnt.
