We say this every year, don't we? Its the most annoying thing. I would take off of work both days and park in front of the tv if it was on.

yeah you dont really get an idea of the elevation change watching it on tv. you can see that its not flat, but its hard to gauge just how much.

my dad's buddy got to play there a few years ago, he was blown away by the elevation changes

Yup, and I feel like every year I get madder at the coverage. Tiger probably won't even be a featured group.

[CrushB610]

Anybody else doing a Masters Pool? I think i've settled on my 8:

1. Stenson
2. Spieth
3. Day
4. Scott
5. Horschel
6. Rose
7. D. Johnson
8. Fowler

Have 3 guys all in the same starting group (Spieth, Stenson, Horschel) hoping a little competitiveness between the 3 of them brings some low numbers.

Usually like taking an off the radar guy in the 8 but no one caught my eye this year.

[Noles20]

Not sure I remember a Masters with this much intrigue going in and this many players with a real chance to contend. Definitely excited!

[Jake]

Have Speith in a pool. Love his chances. I fear Rory.

[parks3923]

My 4 picks: Rory, Speith, Fowler, Johnson. Got all the young guns. Hopefully they can all make it till Sunday. Fowler hasn't played well this year but he dominated in majors last year. Hopefully he can continue that trend.

[pathetic]

i know dustin Johnson is playing well and his short game has been better, but i don't see him putting well enough to win

Has he stopped stopping at turn to snort a line off Paulina's ass yet?

[pathetic]

but of course he would! he's not an idiot!

What kinda pool is that?

I should have clarified, my pool is - pick 8 golfers and add up their total payouts.. Degenerate whose top 8 has the most earnings wins.

Got Reed and K. Bradley in my pool.

Can't wait for it all to start tomorrow!! I've got DJ, Rory, Day and Spieth as my top contenders but we'll see!

Witnessed the Jack Nicklaus hole-in-one today. Definitely the coolest sports moment I've ever seen in person.

that is the coolest thing ever. Here I am just bragging about being in the same room as Jack but to see him hit a hole in one would be incredible.

this is my old ESPN pool. Re-entered for the 1st time in 10 years.


in the family pool I have Speith, Walker, Sergio, Haas (sleeper I think), and Na

[MPizzle06]

Learned my lesson last year and took today and tomorrow off work Watching all day today (storms here are preventing a tee time this morning), playing my first round of 2015 tomorrow morning, playing with my Dad and Brother on Saturday morning before grilling out & watching Round 3, and then nothing beats Masters Sunday.

I say Tiger makes the cut, and Jimmy Walker wins on Sunday.

[swordo84]

ANy idea who the 2 featured groups today are for the online stream?

it still doesn't say. Hoffman group on 13. PGA coverage was choppy for me, but it's still better than nothing

Ditto, I've got the Amen Corner feed up via TSN.ca A bit choppy, but tolerable for sure.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah curious to see who the featured groups are. Full coverage doesn't start til 3. Terrible.

[whodat]

Does anyone here remember the 2003 Masters being shown commercial free? The club said it was to 'protect their sponsors' from any backlash over the male-only membership at that time. They did again in 2004, but 2003 was the big deal with Hootie Johnson and Martha Burk going toe to toe over the membership.
