OT: US Masters Golf

[Big Bloke]

US Masters starts late Thursday night AEDT at Augusta National.

Aussies teeing it up are Min Woo Lee, Adam Scott, Cam Davis, Cameron Smith, Jason Day and Jasper Stubbs is one of the amateurs playing the event.

The big questions are:

(1) Can Jon Rahm go back to back and win it again after triumphing in 2023?
(2) Will Tiger Woods make the cut? If he does it will be the 24th consecutive time and it will be a world record.
(3) Can Scottie Scheffler keep his number one ranking and be Masters Champion again?
(4) Will a rookie step up and win?
(5) Can we have the first Aussie winner since Adam Scott in 2013?

Tee times and groups should be out tomorrow.

Do you play golf? If so, what is your handicap? Or what do you normally shoot?

My handicap is golf

It's the one golf tournament I like.

My favourite horse race this weekend Grand National at Aintree yes I will be told it's cruel and outdated but I am old and some say outdated

Jag quite a few pars and occasional birdies when I get it right but mix in some 8's and 10's for good measure when I spray it.

I played 9 holes once . Enjoyed it , Nice walk in the park, but got some dirty looks from the serious players .

Golf is a good game destroyed by too many rules.

Used to love social golf days but geeze it was a pain in the arse sitting at the local golf club bar (which I did frequently back in the day) and have to listen to the usual dickheads arguing over rules. You'd think that they were playing for far can sheep stations.

Not enough hard body contact in that sport. If there was then it would sort out a lot of the whingers.

Sounds painful. I reckon most of us wouldn't play a social round in this condition, yet Min Woo is going to tackle the hardest golf tournament in the world with this injury. I am one of his biggest fans but I can't see him making the cut now. If he does it will be a miracle.

That was a long time ago. Boomerang I think it's called.

Misso's nephew staying with us arrived yesty. Wants me to have a game with him haha. Mt Coolum is a great course though.

No mate. Boomerang is a different course. Illawarra used to exist across the road from Boomerang but it is now closed.

There was 2 courses I think. Boomerang and Illawarra. Could be wrong though. They were both cow paddocks.

Only played Illa once and that was enough. It had about 12 par 5's but some of those were par 4's. I used to play Booma a lot when I lived in Engadine. That is where we played that day.
