Tell them how much you hate all the reverence and hushed tones. Everything is 'well-judged' or 'beautiful', etc etc. This is one week where you can hit crap shot after crap shot and you won't get critiqued nearly as much as if you did it at say, the US Open. People want to give Johnny Miller high criticism for telling it like it is when star golfers make mistakes in crucial championship situations. But at least he won't sugarcoat it like the CBS clowns do. This is one week where I try my best to watch the golf with the sound turned all the way down because of all the sugaryness.
Example -- Peter Kostis made reference today to the 'beautiful Georgia pines'. Has anyone ever seen any ugly Georgia pines?
Will pass it along. Thanks.
Can't wait to see what my "$100 Masters Gift Bag" looks like.

Mad props to that 14 year old Chinese kid. Is sitting +4 after two rounds, including a one stroke penalty on 17 for slow play. On many of the holes, he had to hit fairway woods rather than irons because he doesn't yet have the length. Good chance to make the cut, unless the low score today is -7 or lower (doubtful).

He carries himself really well too. I like him. They just asked him if he thought he deserved the penalty and he just said "I respect the decision"
Also when you had out "Mad props" you should trademark "Shad props"

Touche. I lol'd in our newsroom when I saw this and I had a couple people look at me like I was crazy (which I am).
Anyone who is so damn slow that they get penalized in a major tournament gets no props from this gentleman
I will agree with you on this one. It's an epidemic throughout the game. HOWEVER...the last 2 groups (which included Our Lord and Savior as well as the Toonamint Leader) clocked in their rounds at a crisp 5 hours and 45 minutes. There wasn't any talk of THEM getting put on the clock. It's a horribly inconsistently policed situation. Guan was likely doing no worse than anyone else out there. The official who called the penalty on him has a history of nailing people for slow play. Unfortunately, he's the ONLY rules official IN THE WORLD who gets after people about slow play. Rules officials throughout the game need to be more stringent. As a result, Guan had to sweat out the cut when he really shouldn't have.
3) and a Masters iPad neoprene case with embroidered logo on front, Masters zipper pulls and Masters imprinted on the inside. Can't find this online anywhere.
Gave my Dad the hat already. Going through chemo again and is real into hats right now. And, he loves golf.
So Tiger was assessed a 2 stroke penalty for not having his ball close enough to where his first shot that went into the water on 15. The rule states "as close as possible". WTF kind of rule is that? What constitutes as close as possible? an inch? a foot? a millimeter? They need to add a number to it like a club's length no closer to the pin. Wouldn't that take all the guessing out of it?
so all the experts on ESPN right now are saying this 2 stroke penalty is fair. Okay, fair enough. My issue is not the fact that he has to take a 2 stroke penalty. I find the 2 stroke penalty to be far better than disqualification, the issue I have is the wording on the rule. what constitutes "as close as possible"?
Golf channel guys saying that Tiger should've been disqualified,stating that he gained a clear advantage. My take is that a this was a born from a tv viewer questioning his drop. They looked into it, and determined that his drop was okay. It was his post-round interview that did him in, when he stated he dropped two yards further back.
To me, this is like a catcher saying after a game that the final strikeout pitch was actually off the plate...so the league steps into try and fix it.
