Aren’t they really strict about putting your tickets online? Heard if you win masters tickets and they find your tickets online they ban you from ever coming back 

Stubhub has some sort of deal with them. You pick up the badge locally and have to return it at the end of the day. Or at least that’s how it used to be.

I was off by $1.00.  I feel so stupid.  

It's inexcusable, really.

Another Augusta question. How much would you pay to play a round at Augusta?

More importantly, I’ll be there Saturday. Can’t fucking wait.

Congrat’s – I hear it is 5 times as exquisite in person vs TV.

Redstone, Oak Tree National, Southern Hills, Twin Hills, Karsten Creek (no PGA events but I think they will eventually also watched the NCAA championships last year there), LeTriomphe, Firestone North (so much water)

I missed out on a guys trip to Whistling Straits 2 years ago because of a work comitment.

That would be fun!  Bucket list would include Pine Valley, Pebble Beach, Sawgrass, Shinnecock Hills, along w Augusta.

Missed one above, played Bethesda CC several times.

Scratch golfers are breaking 100 there. Easily. It’s obviously a tough course but they’re not shooting 30 strokes worse than a normal course.  

Agree 100%...scratch golfers are great ball strikers and great putters. I get what everyone is saying but a scratch golfer isn’t lucky to break 100 at the Masters

I think anyone that shoots in the 70’s typically could break 100 more often than not. It’s hard to shoot 75’s and 76’s often and bad rounds are 81-82....those guys know how to play and navigate and adjust.

What are you shooting at Augusta?

I'd very easily shoot a 72

On the front nine.

A security guard might have just fucked up Tiger's knee...wtf?

is what it reminded me of.

I had always heard that too but sure enough they were on stubhub. 

Unreal right now. 

Tiger finishes the day one off the lead at -6.

Tiger wearing a huge grin walking off 18.

Has to feel good with being one back and missing a ton of short putts.

It’s truly insane

My distance is gone from not playing much anymore but I hit fairways, am a great lag putter and solid on the tester putts. I’d guess a 92-95. Definitely under 90 back in mid 90’s.

One of my friends said he'd pay $5k to play a round at Augusta.  I think I'd be willing to do $1k for sure.

$5k would be my current break point. I'd pay that, on my current salary, but no more. I'd go higher if I were to get promoted and/or higher salary throughout my career.

Damn lol. $5k is a ton of money to me. I’d say $1k and that would still hurt. 

Wouldn’t even pay $1k. It’s just a round of golf.
