2018 Masters No Longer Safe For Work!

Charlie makes a mummy look energetic. I wish I could look that relaxed on a golf course. I’d guess it’s not how he feels, but when he hits a bad shot his usual reaction.is like he’s saying “whatever.”

Relaxed? He's in his early 40's, healthy, has made over $25m playing golf, can walk through any airport or eat at any restaurant completely unnoticed and went to UNLV for a communications degree. Yeah, he's relaxed.

On a related note, earlier this year, someone was relaying a story (Maybe Phil's old caddy in the announcing booth) from about a decade ago and the person said how some caddies were BS'ing with each and discussing players' skill. They said on the driving range Charlie only had to take a backseat to Tiger and Phil. He's a natural ball striker. Swings it more like Freddie, Ernie or Tom Watson. Looks effortless and looks like he could do in 2040 without changing a thing.

I would be very afraid of DJ today. Quietly crawled back in to -3 without his good stuff and the course will play long today, carry will be huge to get low irons into their hands. JT also sort of the same and he's great weekend player.

Should be very interesting.

Doesn't the dour demeanor and edgy beard worry you? BTW he's also a loser.

You may both be trolling me, but I thing QDOG5 is trolling you. Go back to the beginning of this thread and read it. Someone referred to DJ as a loser.

I don't think he's the most competitive guy in the world and I'm somewhat amazed he can be #1 in the world on talent alone. No one will ever confuse DJ's competitive fire with Tiger's or Jack's.

Yep. Norman has a ton of chokes in majors, but has two Open Championships, a massive golf course design company which is really huge in Asia, clothing line, winery, etc. The man ain't lacking for cash or fame. He can pick and choose what he does.

Plus, at one point he had a yacht with a decompression chamber for use after scuba diving. That's pretty cool. I have no idea if he still has it, but back in 2005 it was a very nice piece of equipment.

These were the toys he kept stored inside "Aussie Rules" for when you need to unwind from the main boat.

Unfortunately that will always be the first thing people will remember when thinking of his Master's legacy. The second will be Larry Mize's chip-in in the playoff.

You should have watched Phil and Sergio the past few days. And Tiger. A few head-scratchers.

Phil wiffed on a shot out of the woods on #1.

Actually give Tiger credit yesterday to make the cut. It looked more like it was going to be double digits over par than where he ended up and if he made a couple putts on the back could've come back to +2 or 3. But how many times can you fly the green? He had no control of his irons for 2 days. And his tee game wasn't all that good either, he couldn't make a putt. How the hell did he make the cut?:eek:

I was at the GHO one year and saw Hal Sutton totally chunk a pretty easy chip from about 10 feet off the green. The thing with these guys is that they hit a totally bad shot (forgetting driver) so seldom that it’s easy to remember when they do. Saw on TV when Larry Mize had like 4 shot lead in the GHO on the final round and hasn’t won anything in years. On the par 4 15th where a of the pros go for the green, he decided to play it very safe, probably to avoid the water near the green. He used something like a 4 or 5 iron off the tee and totally shanked it up on the hillside behind trees and in junky stuff. I don’t exactly remember, but I think he quadrupled and wound up not winning. I’ve never seen a touring pro hit such a bad shot with a safe club.

There are still three rounds to play and I wouldn't rule him (Dustin Johnson) out yet.

He has no shot. That edgy beard is a curse. The man can’t enjoy the fact that he’s privileged to be playing a game for a living. I hear his goal is to play an entire round of golf without smiling. He’s a much more talented version of Mark Brooks and JC Snead— but mimics their atrocious demeanor. I’ve witnessed it and it ain’t pretty.

I had forgotten the golfer but remember that shank on 15. Yep. He took a mid-iron to go about 200 yards off the tee and fanned that thing so far up in the woods to the right. Shankasaurus Rex.

I'm sorry guys I thought everyone had one of these? Guess I'm a bit naive.

There's always a pretty good chance if you grab a hosel rocket on one shot the next one will be a dead pull. Have no idea how I know this?

Similar to watching someone leave a 25' lag putt 10' short. You absolutely know the second putt is going to blaze past the cup.
 
So much for tough conditions for scoring.
 
I worked security at the GHO in 1984. My buddies and I had just graduated college and figured it would be fun. I got the clubhouse. Zinger would come in every day and do a magic trick for the check in ladies. Saw Dave Stockton work on his stance for an entire 20 minute phone call. Helped Pat McGowan and a couple of other journeyman get a fishing charter on the CT river on Tuesday. Maybe that's why they were journeyman. On Sunday the Miller Lite celebs showed up. I talked Yankee baseball with Sparky Lyle for an hour. Awesome.
