I'm curious how much no fans comes into play. Nerves aren't there as much,etc.... I'll be curious if Augusta National tightens things up a bit tomorrow. Lowest first round scoring day ever I believe there. Feels like a trap. Haha. I only watch golf for the Masters. Because the course is so beautiful . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple of points of curious interest...one, the term fans is replaced with patrons by the announcing team...and two, while we and everyone call it The Masters, I noticed that the on screen visual is just...Masters. Maybe it's always been that way and I've simply missed it. Nothing of any real importance... just curious. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1972iu Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) DJ finishes his first round -7. Starts his second round with birdies on #11, 12, 13 moving to -10. Has 3 shot lead. Course still quite soft allowing players to shoot at pins with abandon. Edited November 13, 2020 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Going to be fun in the morning. Fresh greens. Tiger has long shot into 11 and of course 13 and 15 coming which should get him to -7/-8 range after 2 rounds if I'm guessing right now. People have wide range of opinions on Bryson. What happened to him at 3 today was just brutal. 4 shot swing.....but he also didn't handle mentally well after. Leaderboard stacked. Now my biggest problem is getting TV, Desktop, Laptop and things all setup for Master, IU and a couple other games going on at same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDB Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Tiger finishes his second round -1, -5 total. I thought he made the chip on 18. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and he's 2 putts at 2 and 3 that should have gone down. The leaderboard is so stacked he needs to start inching his way up just a little. I'd take 67 today in a heartbeat.

jv1972iu Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 DJ shoots a second 65 and takes a 4 shot lead into Sunday. He played beautifully today...totally under control. He is unflappable seemingly. I'm stoked for tomorrow. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly wouldn't agree with that assessment, nor do I, but I think I understand what you're saying. He has THE BEST golf demeanor on the PGA Tour. He handles most everything with the same non-emotional response. He does appear to be in a very good zone and mentioned how confident he's feeling, so you may be right about him winning the tournament today. Hope so! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Could not watch this. The Masters is the azaleas, the birds in the background, and the promise of warmer weather. The Masters is the roar of the crowd as someone makes a move on Amen Corner. The Masters is Jim Nance coming off just calling the Final Four. The Masters is not competing with NCAA and NFL football. Happy for those of you who could get into it....just not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 After our successful high school golf season, I was given a pretty cool honor. Champaign paper's coach of the year I couldn't find a way to sneak in that I was an Indiana fan, but I really thought about it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just think...if the powers at be who cancelled all the other seasons in Illinois this past year...how many kids won't get a look for financial help. I know of 2 in football. I digress though.

Seeking6 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Does anyone do FanDuel or DK for fantasy golf? I'm in a weekly pool ($5) with friends from high school. This week seems pretty easy for the chalk guys....Rahm, Rory, Webb, Berger, Hideki,etc....but I'm trying to find a longshot or 2 to help keep my under budget. Just curious if we have any other golf fans on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 I saw this thread pop up and I thought for sure it was going to be about Patrick Reed cheating taking relief. I'm no help on who you should pick for this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
