    Hole in One

    I couldn't come up with anything less cliche, aside from "The 19th Hole." So sue me :P

    Anyways, anyone currently watching the Masters? I'm annoyed that I will miss the final round because of a wedding on Sunday, but I'll still tune in for as much as possible. Especially since CBS is streaming it live on their website.

    Oh and my favorite golfers all time are Ernie Els, The Golden Bear, Lefty, Tiger, and currently probably McIlroy and Bubba Watson. Also I'm biased in favor of Zach Johnson, due to the fact that he's from Iowa, and also I like Sergio when he's not acting like a douche.

    Then I'd have to listen to Jim Nantz for hours on end.

    Or mute it I guess.

    :lol:

    I just ignore his voice, and focus on what's on screen. I have no idea who Quiros is, but him and McIlroy were at the top of the leaderboard yesterday.

    McIlroy is continuing to build upon his lead, and play lights out golf. The kid's a stud.

    It is remarkably lame that on Saturday at the Masters, CBS' coverage doesn't start until 3:30, 45 minutes after the leaders have tee'd off.

    Because apparently CBS doesn't have any goddamn common sense.

    Today will let us know if Tiger's surge is just limited to one good day, or if he still has the skill level to make a run at McIlroy. I was surprised to see KJ Choi doing well, considering I can't remember the last time he won anything, and Fred Couples in the Top 10 is awesome, even if I don't think he'll maintain it.

    Why the Masters is Unique

    8. Limited television coverage: With the other majors, TV broadcasts 8-10 hours per day for the first two rounds and 6-8 hours on the weekend. With the Masters you just get a daily 4 ½ hours Thursday and Friday with 3 ½ hours on Saturday, and it wasn’t until recently that CBS showed the last group’s entire Sunday round. This makes it a truly special event for those in attendance.

    Masters coverage is basically a four hour handjob of the grandeur of golf and its participants.

    It is beyond maudlin.

    Congrats, Charl Schwartzel. Great final round of golf. MadMan, I'm also a huge fan of Ernie Els, so I always tend to root for the South African golfers.
    Awesome concerning Ernie. I'm just sad that his career is close to being over, largely due to that knee surgery he had to have a couple years back.

    I wanted McIlroy to win, but I've always liked Tiger and I consider him to be one of the greatest golfers. However I don't want Tiger to break the Golden Bear's majors record. I hope that record stands forever.

    Meh on Schwartzel winning, just because I have a feeling the guy will be like Mike Weir or Zach Johnson and never win another Masters again, and probably never win another major, either, although I don't recall if Weir has more than one.

    Spanish golf great Seve Ballesteros dies at 54

    Really a damn shame. He was truly a legend. I wish I had been around during his prime to watch him play. Especially to see his famous parking lot shot. RIP.

    I've been dreading this inevitable news. 54 is far too young.
    I was watching today's coverage of the Wells Fargo event, and Nick Faldo was choking up when we was talking about his memories of Seve.

    In happier news, MadMan, Ernie Els is being inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday. I wish I could be there--we only live a few hours away from St. Augustine.

    This is the best ending to a golf tournament I may have ever seen.

    I actually regret missing the end of the PGA Championship. At the time I was visiting my grandparents.

    Fantastic news.

    I really didn't mean to neglect this thread, especially since I forgot to post about the US Open, which is my favorite major, and the British Open, which is the toughest major in all of golf.

    Oh and I'm starting to think that Tiger's career is all but over. We'll see next year. The bad person within doesn't want him to break the Golden Bear's records, even though I like Tiger and think he's one of the best golfers to play the game.

    This just in: Tiger Woods wins. He might be back, people! ritch:

    However, I will admit that how he does in the Masters determines if he's truly returned to form or not. Still a 5 stroke victory is pretty nice. McDowell showed us all why he'll never win another major in quite some time, maybe never again.

    Wow I really should have bumped this thread when Ernie Els won the British Open. That was great.

    And Tiger Woods is in the hunt once again, which is why despite his age and lack of majors over the last couple of years you don't leave the door open for him to win. I'm hoping he takes the Masters and I think he has a shot at winning the US Open. Maybe even the British Open, too.

    Plus Phil still has something in the tank, and Bubba Watson and fellow younger American golfers has me excited about the sport. I'm still waiting for Ricky Fowler to fulfill his promise, though.

    Hurray for Bubba Watson winning a second Masters. Too bad Tiger didn't play.

    I was happy for Bubba, too. I can't believe that shot he hit on the 15th hole. I had Jean van de Velde flashbacks for a brief moment.

    Forgot we had a golf thread. Earlier this year I went up to St. Andrews and played one of the newer courses. Was tough, but fun 18 holes.
    *coming soon*
