Well that crept up again. Too busy reading about pwopa nawty and woosh it's back.

 

Is the Tiger really back on the prowl after I gave him some proper words back in January?

 

Will Luke make Lee feel even more inadequate by winning his first Major (Let's face it after the Season he had last year he deserves it)

 

Will Lee's putting make mine look good again? And will Rory's squeeze blow him in the bedroom so he doesn't blow it on the course this year?

 

Lots to look forward to relaxing with a few bevvies long into the nights this weekend.

 

For me Tiger, Luke & Rory to give it a good go. Lee to disappoint (again) and one Young Gun Yank to keep the locals excited until the very end. and we shouldn't discount a Yarpie either. Charl or Louis?

FFS. got all comfy & sorted tuned to the OSN Sports channel - nothing.

 

Ah ok so it will be on Fox Sports.

 

Tuned to Fox. This channel is no longer available. Contact your local cable operator for subscription....

 

They shut Fox down on a fecking weekend. And of course PGA.com doesn't have it on stream either

Played on the masters course at Pebble Beach in 2010 a couple of days before the event then watched the first day. Great event, even for a non golf head like me.

Try a skysports stream as they have it on from 7pm uk time

 

Been trying as many as I can find but they shut down and show banned faster than I can find them and get past the I won an IPAD ads.

 

If anyone finds a working stream a few hundred golf nuts over here will owe you a lot of beers

A surprise winner this year is my forecast - someone will come through in the final round.

 

Hanson perhaps.

Tiger & Rory eh? Lol

 

Luke? WTF?

 

Miguel - probably had one bottle of Rioja too many on Friday night.

 

Fred Couples - what a really nice bloke - he played here in Feb. Had his one good round for the weekend though.

 

Bubba & Lois in the mix.

 

Will Leftie ride the emotional rollercoaster again tonight?

 

Can Lee finally get a final round going in a Major?

 

Will Hanson do one of his usual blow-ups?

 

Or can Paul Lawrie mumble and bire the course into submission?

 

Wish I could farking watch, it's set up really well for tonight

Phil again for me.

 

BTW, everyone should try to get to Augusta at least once in their lives. For golf-lovers it's like the Hajj is for Muslims.

 

I will never, as long as I live, forget the feeling of seeing that place "in the flesh"; it was like the first time I went to Lord's and Wembley - a few weak-kneed minutes as a flood of televised memories came back to me.

 

It's far more hilly and even more beautiful than I expected. And beer was $2.50 - about 1/3 the price at most major sporting events.

 

I've gotta do it again some day.

Oosthuizen Albatross.

 

Game on.

 

He's got a great chance - not just because of that sensational shot but because he possibly has the best swing in golf.

I keep everything crossed - one day - There's a total nut job down in Abu Dhabi "Abu Dhabi Bob" met him at the first Dubai World Championship. I thought he was a stalker dressed in Poulter gear but turned out he was his "best mate". Anyway we've become good pals & he actually said he's been invited over next year to stay IF the man himself qualifies again. (Poults has baby issues this year) so I've been schmoosing like a loon all year so far ever since Bob said "What would you like for a Wedding present next year?" (It's OK FMDP loves golf as well)

 

We'll see. He's a good lad & does deliver.

 

Lois has such a great swing, & like Schwartzel is one hell of a nice & genuine guy - it will be down to his nerves and his putting the last few holes that has been his weal link a few times - will be a story if he does win it - he shared a pad with Schwatzel last year in Florida when they both started out on the tour there and were looking where to set up their permanent US bases

Phil puts one into the grandstand. :lol:

 

Sounds like me when we play our Marshalls Tournament the week after the big events down here.

 

In The Grandstand, In the TV Compound. Even landed one on an ATM in the Village one year

Phil, tell your mate to tell Poults that you were the one who advised AOC to go to the Arse.

 

That should seal the deal!

 

I've loved the Masters since I was a kid but it took on a whole new level after actually going there. I sure hope you make it.

A very long story but Bob crashed into a players party last year - I actually HAD that conversation with him:) Give Poults his due he tapped this guy on the shoulder who had his back to him and said - hey meet my new mate Phil.... Bloke turns round - double handshake great to meet you & I go blah blub blah wow thanks Mr Mickleson.... lol he was even wearing THAT Jacket!

 

When Lee learns to Putt he'll be damned useful. Lois - all about bottle now

It's up to the others to take it off Louis because he's not going to give it to them.

 

Fifteen, though, is such a brilliant, telling hole. Everything from eagle to double-bogey there.

George O'Grady will be watching this on tenderhooks. His PR people on the European Tour make a lot of bucks from extra sponsorship every time one of the ET members wins a Major....

 

Plus we get a great photo Op at DWC every December ;)

Sickening final day for me so far. I wacked a tenner before the tournament on Hanson e/w with the odds 150/1.

 

I bet on Mickelson as well. FFS.

 

Get the f*** in Hanson, that birdie on the final hole has just earned me some money.
