Like Reed's quote about his menu;

Reed chose steak for his menu, in other news, water is wet.

Can't wait for work to finish. Off to the club tonight and our captain and green keeper have devised a par 3 course on the back nine, playing into the normal greens from different place. As an example we are playing from the ladies tee on the 10th over the pond to the 18th green which will measure about 110-120 yards. Not sure exactly how the rest are being laid out but it promises to be fun. Back in for some scoff and the prizes and then the par 3 on the big screen. I might watch the start (going to record the par 3 anyway) and then slide down to the other end of the bar and get the footie on (or go home to watch if they refuse). Should be a load of fun and we have a huge turnout booked in

Looked at a couple of the interviews the Masters stuck up on their youtube channel. I wonder if the media reporters are all walking on eggshells because of where they are, it seemed very hard to find original questions
As a side, everyone has their favourite but it’s unreal how many views Tiger’s interview gets compared to everyone else’s

That DJ, BDC & Day group is fantastic. I can't think of two more opposite guys than DJ & BDC, that's hilarious putting them together.

Why is Rory such a short price?

Because of his form this year going into the event is probably better than anyone else playing right now.

Must say, I am surprised at some of the negativity. The Masters is unique. There's nothing like it. The history, names like Bobby Jones, Saracen, Demeret, Hogan, Palmer, Nicklaus, Player, Ballesteros, Lyle, Faldo. Yes it's invitation only, but only the best get to play! It's an achievement thing, you have to earn the right to play here, there are no easy back doors. No course is presented in the way Augusta is, ask anyone who has played at the Masters. It's the best of the best, perfection everywhere. It's the first major of the year. No-one has ever mastered the greens, & that is where strategy comes in with placement of the approach shot critical. Every year is different, wet or dry, small changes each year, the course never plays the same. My first memory was the Tomny Aaron year when Oosty was in contention. So many more! Favourite I think was Danny Willetts win, he played so well & won it fair & square! With coverage by internet, BBC, Sky, what is there to dislike. It's a true Golf fest & one to enjoy. This year Justin Rose, this has to be his year?

Hmm, fuzzy rubbish on the red button, no live coverage til 8 o clock, can't even show the par 3 live, racism, sexism, stuffiness, exclusivity, non inclusiveness, stuck up its passage, patrons, green bus conductors jackets, heck, I could go on all day.
It is easier to say what is to like. It's a major, there are some flowers, there are some golfers, that is about it.

'Don't watch it' is always an option.

Sure, but it is a major. In an era of 24hr news, wall to wall coverage of everything, being rationed to 4 hours is just daft.
If the Open limited coverage to 4 hours, say from 5 in the evening, is that ok? Wimbledon showing only the final set, FA cup final, yep, we will give you 35 minutes? It is a nonsense.
Yes, I will watch some of it, (well that is what you get), but it is pathetic that so many grown men the world over are so grateful for scraps that they dribble over being allowed to see an irrelevant featured group on the red button.
Player, Watson and Nicklaus putting with the flag in. Modern players ðŸ‘
I'm not sure they're all comparable. Can you watch every match of the FA cup? I mean the FA cup is the competition, not just the final. Wimbledon bbc probably d show most of it, but every second of it?

It's not something that excites me much these days, but I'll still probably watch the BBC stuff.
As for the history, much of it seems manufactured.
The names you list played in most tournaments of their era, not just the Masters.
The invitational aspect is annoying, there was a time not so long ago that it was almost the exclusive preserve of American golfers.
The course perfection thing isn't to my liking, I prefer a rougher round the edges look, but I'm not knocking anybody that likes a course to look the way it does.
The greens have only reached their current condition relatively recently, look at some of the earlier years and they're as slow as everywhere else at that time. (IMHO greens have just got stupid in recent years as courses try to protect their par)
I can't agree with "the course never plays the same". If it's perfection then it's being manicured to within an inch of it's life with little prospect for a rub-of-the-green, even the final day hole positions are the same each year!
And then there's all the demanded respect from the Augusta committee, step out of line and you're done. (And don't get me started on the "Patrons thing!")
