    Masters Countdown: 4 weeks away!

    Is it a Tiger year in 2011, norm? Whaddya think? Does he regain the crown at Augusta in April and ride it to another POY award? Or are we looking at one of these young guns stealing a jacket?

    i haven't seen much of tiger this year but from what i've read and heard his swing is a mess...he might make a good of it but come sunday he may have to will his way to win

    i'd lay odds on phil repeating...he has just that place figured out and loves playing there...great thing about the masters is anyone has a shot except for the young first timers...they'd have to play out of their minds to win

    Very true on all counts. Love Phil. However, there is that tier of guys like Dustin Johnson, Hunter Mahan and Nick Watney (who's playing great right now), etc. that I could absolutely see joining the ranks of Zach Johnson and Trevor Immelman in outlasting the field on Sunday.

    Well played, Michael Phelps. I do think Tiger pulls it together in 2011. That being said, I'm done rooting for him. Those days are over.

    Final tune-up before Augusta this week in Houston. The madness begins one week from today with the par3 contest. Anybody else ready for a little Masters magic?

    Most definitely!! The wife is already scowling because she'll lose the TV for 4 days. :lol:
    Not sure who I'd put money on but I'd love it if Westwood won.

    They should make the winner play the game afterward and only let him keep the green jacket if he scores the same on the video game.

    I gotta get to my buddy's house this weekend and play that. It sounds awesome.

    .No more pics, as I'm pushing tweeting when phones are a no no on site. Big brother is probably watching. Sorry, but Augusta conditions.

    haha surely he can get fined for this now!

    This one's my favorite norm. http://yfrog.com/h4xi7gj
    I just LOVE stuff like this. Imagine just flipping through one of these from a tour player? They all probably have one of these for each and every course they play.

    they will still probably all be too concerned that women are allowed on the course or in the clubhouse to care!
