So basically Tiger doesnt need to be on top of his game to win this week. He can already win the toughest major with only one leg. I'd like to see him play the British Open this year with a patch over his right eye.. just to see what happens ya know?


Phil on the other hand, is not good enough to win unless he is on the top of his game (which I dont know if he is or isnt on top of his game, he seems to be though with his record this year)

Tiger will be in it, I just don't think his game is sharp enough to endure 4 full rounds of golf at Augusta right now. Nothing about him would surprise me though, my opinion is based on what I have seen of him since he has came back from surgury.

OMG!

Phil Mickelson has had a
double mansectomy?

What happened to his
man teats?

Rules of Golf.

They suck on the Harrington penalty.
The rules need to be changed.

Kev I need a ruling.
Explain why that rule exists.
It sucks big time.

Why does the rule even exist?
So guys will not stand over the ball forever?
That rule... I dont get it.

Why do golf announcers whisper?

Because the booths they are announcing from are
often right next to the green? Or tee box.

Personally I think heckling should be allowed.
He putta, putta, putta SWING!

the rule's mainly so that people don't move the ball to make the shot easier while lining up the shot and it's written for ANY movement, regardless of what causes it.

a small bit left or right can make a HUGE difference in how a putt will react.

Is there not a rule about making contact with the ball?
If you make contact, thats a stroke. I understand the improving
your lie without touching the ball, but that was ridiculous.

Harrington is standing over the ball in a hurricane and gets a penalty
after he has moved away just because he addressed it... And the
addressing part seems ill-defined from what was given on the tube.

Damn game is hard enough.
I glad I am turrible and dont play anymore.

Rule 18-2b talks about a ball at rest being moved after it has been addressed (the player has addressed the ball after he grounds his club). Whats interesting about the type of situation is if Paddy had not addressed his ball and the wind blew the ball closer to the hole, he would have been able to play the ball from where it ended up without taking a penalty. If the ball moves after it has been addressed, the ball must be replaced and the player incurs a 1 stroke penalty, UNLESS the balls moves as a result of the player making a stroke or the backward movement of the club in making a stoke.

I know, crazy stuff

CBS and ESPN suck. The god damn broadcast should be on by now. I don't give a good god damn about this sentimental bulls.hit they're showing right now.

Bet he could not teach me to hit a ball straight.

I wish I could enjoy this game as there are courses
all around me and some are apparently cheap compared
to other places.
Im getting older and have experienced a severe decline in hops so
basketball is no longer an option.

One more thought from this fan of "Hillbilly"

if more PGA Pro's could handle themselves with the class that this "Hillbilly" handles himself with on and off the camera the sport would benefit. Tiger brings an element that draws not thousands, but millions to the game, and he is the real deal. BUT, guys like the "Hillbilly", Kenny Perry, also draw REGULAR guys and gals to the TV. That guy SCUDS you were referring to wearing the overalls, is with his wife, who is battling cancer and he has a heart condition. He would be in attendance at this MASTERS, but FAMILY, for "HILLBILLIES", comes first. All I am saying.

You get my drift I know you do.

Hillbilly gunna have his hands full trying to beat Cabrera. Gunna have to start making some more putts. May not win it shooting 70 or 71 again. Don't think Campbell or Furyk will win it, but plenty of other people adore the Furyk guy.
