GM's 5-o-clock round-up

[mweston1016]

Good afternoon all,

A Tour round-up today, but also an exclusive blog from Bill Elliott on a bit of a sense of humour failure at Augusta National. Read Bill's blog here...

A big well done after winning weekends for:

Louis Oosthuizen
Carl Petterssen
Carly Booth

Did the guy get a penalty for testing the surface

The Masters is a great showcase event but each year I lose a little of my love for it through stories like this.

As I see it, some things are a great tradition but when these traditions are enforced as they are at the Masters (insisting that commentators say patrons rather than fans but for instance) then they're no longer a tradition but just plain bullying in an attempt to create a mystique around the event.

It's almost become like a separate state such as Vatican City with its own laws etc.

Nice blog, a good read.

You really do get the feeling that the Augusta National would far rather that the masters could be held behind closed doors with no TV coverage etc.
