Hello Friends...

**BmillsSkier** · 03-29-2016, 08:03 PM

6 days and counting to the first rite of Spring. Lots of big names playing really well right now: Day, DJ, Scott, and Rory. Who you got to take home the green jacket this year? Day seems to be putting really well right now so I think he's my early favorite.

the Cool thing about the Masters.

Regardless of who the Media focus on, The possibilities are deep.

To me it seems very (Up In the Air) so it will be good to watch.

I have not looked, whats the weather going to do this year?

**BmillsSkier** · 03-29-2016, 08:08 PM

And of course I look forward to rooting for a Boom Boom win.

**Timberridge** · 03-29-2016, 08:10 PM

The azaleas are always pretty there.

Does Tiger still play?

?? From the 80's or is there a new guy with that Nick Name?

**BmillsSkier** · 03-29-2016, 08:12 PM

The azaleas are in full bloom. Warm front coming too so hopefully it'll be a good weather week.

I just looked over the field and Tiger is listed as playing. Haven't heard anything about him though which is weird. Maybe I should tune into ESPN.

Oh yeah, Freddie ('92

). I'm looking for him to put together that final round. He's been awesome the past few years through Thursday and Friday and even Saturday going back a few years but just hasn't been able to keep up the stamina on Sunday. He's getting old but his swing is still the sweetest I've ever seen and the course fits him. Can still launch it too.

John Daily? Hey anything can happen right?

I would love to see the miracle that would bring Big JD into this field. In the meantime Freddie's my guy year in, year out.

Made that bet while skiing Tahoe the year the Olympics were in SLC.

Think the odds are even worse now!

Bubba was playing well before his back went balky... Course sets up well for him.

I was driving back from Low Country this weekend and stopped at a Waffle House in Augusta. No Tiger to be found, all hostesses accounted for. Maybe he actually is back in the game.

Yeah, I forgot. He had a great start to the year but the injury has made him a ghost.

**Tye 1on** · 03-30-2016, 09:19 AM

Sentimental favorites are- Rory, Keegan, Freddie, Gmac, and Willie Mac.

I'm not sure it's called golf, but whatever he's doing these days with the little white ball and the metal sticks.

It's pronounced gof, without the L.

How'd you like to mow my lawn?

From what I've read/heard El Tigre is going to be a no show. Would be nice if he did play though, when the dude's on he makes things a lot more interesting. (on the course, I mean)

No question. Makes things interesting off the course too.

I'd like to see him come back and be relevant. Never been a big fan, but I can appreciate greatness. I never thought I'd see his downturn come so relatively early in his career, and be such a sharp one at that.

Hope he plays, I'll keep my feelers out at the local greasy spoons just in case.

**BmillsSkier** · 04-02-2016, 01:02 PM

The greater Augusta greasy spoon front of house workers are safe for another year: Tiger to miss Masters - back still bad

**The Tortoise** · 04-04-2016, 05:16 PM

Damn. Fred Couples had to withdraw. Always enjoy watching him do well at Augusta.

**skiballs** · 04-04-2016, 05:31 PM

One of the guys I played against the weekend made the comment, " yeah I've had that as my first tournament of the year, that's a tough course to start the year on" this from a guy that made the cut as an amatuer. I said " yeah life's a bitch".
