That's golf. Phil is trying to piss away any chance he has at winning by taking a triple and then 2 holes later miss hitting a flop shot. But that's Phil always trying the hero shot. LOL. 

I think the Masters committee looked at all the low scoring in the round 1 and did not approve of it and decided to make round 2 a little tougher today.

Phil might be the most frustrating golfer I have ever watched. I read an article that they wanna force the golfers to drive the ball 50 yards less than they can now

Yea some times you wonder why he does the things he does. Like that tee shot  in the water on the par 3 12th shows that he is frustrated. Regarding the ball traveling less I know that Nicklaus is a big advocate for that but the ball manufacturers are pushing back against that. I think it wouldn't be a bad thing it would just take a while to get used too.

They are trying to protect these courses from becoming obsolete. in the article i posted it mentioned that St. Andrews is basically becoming an obsolete course. the home of golf is becoming obsolete. Sounds crazy right.

Yea, alot of links courses like St. Andrews are becoming obsolete, their only defense is when the conditions are bad. On a nice calm day they play easy for the PGA Pros.  Many of the great courses in the US like Merion, Oakmont, tor he Olympic Club were built in a time when the player hit his 7 iron 140 and their driver 250 now their hitting 185 and 300+.  The only way the USGA or PGA can fight back is to make the rough 6-12" high or the greens like trying to putt on table tops.

or you have to make the courses a lot longer. Par 5s would have to be 6-700 yards.

That wouldn't be feasible on alot of courses. That is what Augusta is dealing with. They keep buying more and more land form the Augusta Country Club next door and are trying to squeeze out more distance on holes that play too easy. Some courses you are already at their max. I would rather see the Par 5 500 yards with a restricted ball then a 700 yard par 5 plus it would cut back on maintenance  so could be cheaper price wise and faster to play the round.

That would be somethin. when I first started playing I had persimmon woods. When Callaway came around with the Big Bertha Driver that sure changed the game. Regulate the ball and that will solve a lot of problems.

Yea, the harder the better. I don't like seeing the PGA tour shooting in the 60's on every round.

Awesome day today. Got there to watch the leaders and walked the back nine.

cant wait till tomorrow 😆

[Bormio]

Is getting interesting - Spieth 6 under and thru Amen Corner.  Could go very low.

Very interesting!

[Bormio]

If Spieth can post -14 under, I think he has an excellent shot to win

[Bormio]

Tied!!

Let me know if you found a pice of paper if any kind or a wrapper on the ground.  I never saw one

very well behaved gallery. You can leave your stuff on your chair and no one messes with it

The wife spent the weekend and had access to the Berckman’s Place. Her group followed Tiger all weekend. Was just gushing about what great time she had.

Tiger is hard to follow since everyone wants to see him. We had a front row spot on  1 green on Sunday and watched Phil & Tiger come through along with about 12 groups.
