How easy is it to get a ticket though?
Did you call yourself a patron and waddle everywhere like a duck chasing bread?Is it hillier than it looks on TV?
Is the food reasonably priced?
It’s in the contract small print.Did you call yourself a patron and waddle everywhere like a duck chasing bread?

You are not the only one, It seems to me that (rightly or wrongly) its one of those tournaments that has disappeared up its own hype and mythosI must be one of the only golfers that really doesn’t have the slightest interest of going to Augusta. But Augusta just doesn’t do it for me, I’ll watch the tournament I always do, but I just don’t get the fawning over it as a Venue.

Was literally typing about this as you postedTiger has confirmed he’ll be playing tonight in the TGL, admittedly that’s not a full tournament round of golf but it does suggest he’s well enough to hit balls properly at speed. Does it raise the question of if he plays the Masters? Absolutely it does.
Do I think he will play the Masters? If this evening goes well and he’s pain free I think he plays in it. If he does I hope he gives a good showing makes the cut and has a respectable but more importantly pain free week.
Interesting also he confirmed recently he has ambition to play in the US Senior Open, as he wants to be the first man to have held USGA national titles at every age group/level from Junior, Amateur, Pro and Senior. It suggests there is still a fire there to compete and he still has goals to achieve. I just hope he can do it all healthily, pain free and not impacting his life.
It’s the faux traditions, the fawning over every hole as if it’s the only course in the world that everyone should not want to play but feel privileged to play and I just don’t think apart from maybe 4 holes the course looks that good !You are not the only one, It seems to me that (rightly or wrongly) its one of those tournaments that has disappeared up its own hype and mythos
I don’t think it’s just Sky a lot of that hype is created by Augusta themselves putting themselves on a pedestal of elitism and then getting the likes of sky to drool over it.I’ll watch it and I enjoy it , but the hype and fawning over it created by Sky is nauseating
It’s still below The Open and US Open for me
So it is a goat track thenI agree if tonight goes well in a semi competitive environment and is unscathed then the reps will increase behind closed doors gradually enough to be fit enough (ANGC is hillier than you see on tv)
As a chaser of records he absolutely wants to win the US senior open to not only complete the set but to stand alone with most USGA titles.
I think to reach 83 though it’ll need to be a lowkey regular field event or the Zurich classic to lean on a teammate to an extent.
So it is a goat track then
I would love to see him do it. As much as the Masters is my least favourite major seeing Tiger win in 2019 was one of sports truly iconic moments and comebacks.
