Talking of drivers. I brought the VRS Tour on Saturday and it's fantastic. Smaller head (430cc) then my previous r11s but due to that goes a lot straighter and at least the same distance if not further.

Just need to sell the old driver to get some money back now haha.

Is that the Nike with the red head ?
If so i think i saw you teeing off on the first on Sunday at about 1pm ish ?

Yeah that was me with one other bloke? Just had to sprint back from the car park as well. Was bloody knackered. Should maybe run every time as the shot was a beauty.

Woods backed to win - each way on Rose/Stenson/Bradley/Choi and D A Points

Does anyone know why the skysports Masters coverage is so bad? They only have selected holes before 7pm.... Seems very odd considering

kefkef · 11 Apr 2013 at 16:32

The coverage is determined by the masters committe of Augusta I believe so they don't allow showing of all holes.

Bunch of ......... this is the modern age where they could double the cost of tickets and would still sell out. Its like they want to return to Bobby Jones day

Tickets for the masters are given to patrons, they aren't sold. Also the waiting list for tickets was closed in 1976 and has never reopened. Tickets are sold on the "black" market but otherwise you'll never be able to buy them.

Each way on Poulter and Points. Poults is having one!

garcia on fire! 5 under thru 10

orbit2012 · 12 Apr 2013 at 13:54

Not so sure Garcia will be at the top come Sunday, typical I didn't back him this time though!

Not surprised to see the Chinese amateur doing so well... why do American courses always look like snooker tables? my garden has more rough and I cut the grass last weekend.

The Pros don't realise how easy they have it playing on courses in that condition.

Still 7400 yards long and brutal greens

PGA Centenary course at Gleneagles tomorrow. 2014 Ryder Cup course. Should be fun but not hit a ball for 6 months, even on the range, so a tough day ahead. Play off 8 but breaking 90 will be a great effort tomorrow.

Indeed.

Had a quid on Donald earlier this afternoon at 59-1 and McDowell at 229-1, first one is looking decent at least. Had pre-tournament bets on Woods and Rose too, both having a good day so far.

Azza · 12 Apr 2013 at 22:28

Woods is on 5 under at the moment, just tee'd off on the 12th.

Azza · 12 Apr 2013 at 23:33

Woods is in the water after the ball bounced just behind the pin, hit it and then spun off away.

Leeroy Jenkins · 12 Apr 2013 at 23:36

How unlucky for Tiger he would have probably birdied that and now has to take a bogey.

A very good one at that though!

Here it is in gif form.

Rumours are building about a rule infringement by Tiger in his drop following that shot.

Although, I imagine we'd have heard something official if anything was being done about it.
