AZ you are home and hosed. Good bet.

He's still liable to do something mad. I thought he'd done it with that mad shot from the trees.

Boring back 9 but Bubba deserved it all weekend.

Agreed. No real excitement.

Aye, the final round was a bit of a snoozefest.  I've said for a while but the Masters has become glorified crazy golf. Players putting with their back to the hole and good golf shots punished?  Just not cricket (or golf)

Phil - I'm kinda on the fence about him, but can never count him out. Augsuta suits lefties. Much easier to cut the ball than draw it and Augusta favours right to left. Lefties have won 5 out of the last 11 (granted, Phil has 3 of those).

Bubba - see above. Lefty love.

I remember reading this and thinking I'd put a few quid on Bubba, then I forgot about it. That's the way it goes but good analysis Puck.

The most exciting bit was watching big Mrs Watson console wee Bubba.

First 18 of the season out of the way today. Missed second half of the Pool game.

Didn't shoot great but noticed the slicing was happening a lot less with using this new grip.

Onwards and upwards.

Short season Gabriel! 17th round of the YTD this morning. Headed to Yocha Dehe outside Sacramento this weekend coming for a men's club trip. 4 rounds in 2 days, hopefully win a few shackles.

Threw the new sticks and wedges in the bag this weekend. Happy enough too.

Gab has some issues with the weather in his neck of the woods!

[Puckoon]

Would drive me f-ing crazy to have that weather. I played 82 rounds last year. Get cranky if I don't get out every couple days!

Bought junior her first set of clubs this weekend and she said last night "dad, I want to play golf every Saturday and Sunday like you. Except when it's cold, then you can keep going out with the guys".

[JimStynes]

Just an update to let everyone know that I'm still shit at golf

Cant wait to go and hack up the course tomorrow though! The life of a teacher

[Kidder81]

Looking to get back playing after a few years hiatus, any ideas on best places for clubs?

Saw these ones on American Golf -

They do look decent and in and the market myself for new irons having used a 2nd hand set of srixons this past two years. anyone any books or youtube videos that they swear by or think are useful,playing off 17 but self taught with weird grip and hardly two swings the same it seems lol
