I'm pumped to watch the Masters the next few days. Anyone know a good website besides www.masters.com ?

Go Zach!

Brian Gay in the lead with -2 thru 4. Already seeing birdies!

This is the 2nd best weekend of the year. I hate the coverage though. 3 hours on Thursday and Friday? Are you kidding me? I won't be able to see one shot of Phil today.

One thing I like about the coverage is the limited commercial breaks. compare that to March Madness and I was almost going crazy.

But since the Masters club doesn't allow women members, I guess when they negotiated the broadcast rights, it limited the amount of advertising for worry about protests and boycotts of consumer products. Anyway, it's to our benefit.

My buddy is parked front row at Amen Corner. I forgot which hole but he just called from his chair. Bastard! He's picking me up some swag though.

I like Ernie for some reason this year.

I heard recently that in the past Ernie has just been good enough to compete but enjoyed the party scene a lot. And that this year he was really focusing and taking it much more serious.

Maybe b/c he won back to back tournaments, only 2/3 weeks ago. I think it will be an up and comer. Give me someone like Justin Rose, maybe AK.

Normally I would pick against somebody who has just won twice recently. Golf is hard and 3 wins this early is improbable. I think his head is in the right place.

He has certainly tuned up his game again. Ernie was struggling something fierce last year.

On second thought, I don't think Rose will win. Mainly b/c I don't think he is in the field. I will take AK.

Els had a lot of personal issues the last few years. His son has autism and has been working with him to get the best help possible. Also his knee didn't heal all that well.

Another one would be Steve Stricker. Although he is ranked #2, so not much of a surprise, although I think that it would be his first major.
