The Masters 2026

[Neilds]

Having watched a few clips of the par 3 competition, I would love to have a fourball with Shane, Tommy and Rory. Looked like they were having a ball out there.


Might need to give me about 4 shots per hole though

Par 3 comp is a lovely old time isn't it

mad that it's evolved into this primarily because people didn't want to win it due to superstition

“ I regret to inform you that I will be tendering my resignation, the extreme decision has been forced by unrealistic expectations of the business “

If only it were that easy with my job

I have suitably complained this morning to the powers that be and advised them I'm giving myself tomorrow and Monday off to make up for it so I can watch the full weekend coverage uninterrupted and not worry about getting up early Monday after the late finish

Are we all looking forward to the back 9 on Sunday - when it all starts

As long as Lowry was playing well yeh, he’s a miserable moody sod when he isn’t!

Put some E/W bets on.
Bob Mac
Bryson
JJSpaun (couldn't believe he was 60/1)
Chris Gotterup
Min Woo Lee
Corey Conners
Ryan Fox
All for a bit of fun. I usually forget so I think I've backed about 10% of the field to make up for lost years .

This is an interesting stat chart, some big variations in how difficult the holes play.

Phil's leads the history on holes that are right to left, which is understandable

No because I dropped a complete clanger!!

The ladies captain was rallying around for some blokes to join a mixed match against a local club, I stepped in only to realise it’s a 1pm start with meal after.

When questioned if the food will be in the spike bar (served at 6.30), I was advised we were using the main restaurant.

Great, won’t be in until about 8pm on masters Sunday!!!!!

The masters app gets raved about every year because of being able to view every shot… am I missing something. You can only view the short clip of each shot, you can’t actually watch coverage on there?

The app does show clips of every shot from every golfer in the field that is something no other major or tournament can say! Even Ryder cups when there is 8/16 balls in play they don't show every shot.

I think in the US you get to see the coverage in the app maybes not over here

And now for the annual ‘when do they start showing the actual golf’ post!

My top ten finches would be: Peter, Atticus, Chaff, Gold, Bull, Zebra... erm... nope, I'm out.

Where is Greg Norman

We have a competition at our golf club. You pick 5 players and the points they score are their world ranking divided by their finishing position. So there is no point in picking Scottie Scheffler, as his score can be a maximum of 1 (1/1) if he wins. I'm not sure that everyone has grasped it, as some people have picked players entirely in the top 10! I've picked Dustin Johnson as his world ranking is 593, which means he can finish last, and I'll still score 593/91 = 6.52

Ooh and don’t forget ‘how much better the BBC’ was

That was an awful drive he hit there, God knows how he ever won with that swing.

It was more akin to a captain's drive in!
