    Just moved down to Myrtle Beach last week. I live in a golf course development. 4 high end courses all around me.

    Will be hitting the range for the first time in 2 and half years this week.

    Barefoot Resort? if you need a lesson look me up, I'm the head pro at Man O War Golf Course in Myrtle Beach

    Luke Donald's grounding penalty in the sand trap was found out because some fans ratted him out ... and the "grounding" penalty was because he smacked the sand in anger with his club when his first shot didn't make it out. Is that really the intent of the rule? Don't you have to be addressing the ball?

    your club can never touch the sand unless you are making a stroke otherwise it's a penalty

    Could be a really weird weekend without Phil or Tiger. That said, a lot of good players in the mix but Bubba is trying to run away with the thing.

    I missed this, but good. Like I used to tell the idiot I played with a while back who threw his clubs. "What did the club do? Throw yourself." "Luke, what did the sand do?"

    Damn, a 70 would put him 1 back (if everything else played out the same)

    Looks like a great day tomorrow. So glad I have a hockey game at 5:00.

    FUCK!!

    Just finished playing 18, now masters Sunday followed by steaks and then yanks/Boston. Oh and beer. Lots and lots of beers
    Can a Sunday possibly get better than that? Why yes, yes it can. You could have the day off tomorrow and a noon tee time. Life is fucking good, my friends

    Let's fucking go, kuchar!!!!!!

    The Taliban probably roots against kuchar, but that's about all I can think of

    Oh yay. It wouldn't be the masters without nantz and Faldo slurping each other

    Yeah. What a win. 6 total wins, right? 2 of them the masters. Pretty god damn impressive. I have clearly made it known dude is not my favorite but damn, a very impressive win. Good for him. Spieth is impressive, hung in there. Kuchar is a top 10 machine but needs to learn how to win

    Spieth showed some true mettle yesterday ... you can tell he was feeling a lot of pressure but he grinded it out ... his palms were sweating the whole time ... congrats to bubba!

    I know...I thought yesterday might have been his day. That double bogey on the par 3 with the 4 putt was the end for him. Brutal.

    Spieth is going to be great....cant believe he's only 20. Also can't believe the lack of hype with this kid....won 2 US amateurs, lit it up his 1 year in college and won a tourney last year at 19.

    i said he was better than tiger ... haha ... for a 20 year old kid to play in the final pairing of the masters on Sunday and not totally spooge all over the course ... he's gonna win a few majors ...

    No Tiger=low ratings. Like him or not he brings people to the TV that otherwise would never watch golf.

    The Waffle House must be happy today.

    Interesting to see that Bubba married Brienne of Tarth. Sapphires ....
