2019 Masters running thread

So the food there is a bargain and the merch is outlandish, right? Did I see $130 for a shirt? That's almost what I paid for my tux

This is correct.

My one Masters souvenir was I bought a Christmas tree ornament (wife collects them) which is a replica of the clubhouse. Still going strong 20 years later, but of course it doesn't get used like a shirt.

Visited my mother last year and she was going through some old barware; my late father had a Masters shot glass from when he attended a couple decades ago (the logo is just slightly different, font isn't as thick).

"Mom! I had no idea we had this!"

"We do, and you can't have it."

"(grumble)"

Now that I think of it I'd love to have a divot tool from there too. I already have one from Oakmont and Shinnecock so it wouldn't be totally slumming it in the drawer with ones from Rolling Stones Municipal and Foghat Hills.

Feels like it's Rory's week. Not high at all on Speith like I usually am. Like Bubba at 35/1. Maybe D.J. busts through.

But that's a nice parting gift.

I dibs March 15 in the pool, then.

I think Bubba's got one more jacket in him before he's done.

It'll happen after his wife sucks him dry and leaves him.

You think she'll do that? I don't.

I'll take Tiger to win. He's been right there the last 2 majors, and he knows this old girl like the back of his hand.

Funny you call Augusta "this old girl." By US, forget British standards, it's a relatively new classic great golf course. Open in early '30s. National, Shinnecock and Country Club were all decades old by then. I think Pebble's older, too.

Pebble celebrates 100 this year.
Shinnecock and The Country Club are 2 of the oldest in U.S.

Wallace wins Masters Par 3 contest in playoff

You think she'll do that? I don't.

Me neither. They’re married. She may bankrupt him, but the possibility of her sucking him dry went out the window at, “I do.”

I am probably affected in my opinion by living in New England, where there's a plethora of very old courses. Hell, the nine-hole muni in the town on the Cape I visit was founded in 1895.

justin harding is a steal at 350/1 - he's third on the European Tour.

Harding birdies the first. I say it's time to plan that big party at Dan's house next week.

Tiger hits first fairway and green.

Well, there's one prop bet missed.

Tiger missing the first fairway at a major was always a very good bet. Keep pounding it.

Henrik Stenson is hitting the ball all over Georgia and is starting Amen Corner at even.

The Masters.com "track" feature is incredible.

The guy who Monday qualified for Valero last week and won just to get to Augusta shoots 70 and is a shot off the lead. I love that.
