Shout out to Augusta National for admitting its 6th female member, Heidi Uberroth. Who has an uber awesome job running the Pebble Beach Company. Congratulations, Heidi! At this stage I'd like to notify the fine folks at Augusta National that if their newly found love of human diversity extends to those with anxiety disorders and Chick Fil A addictions, I'm game. Shout out to Hootie, who I think died recently. LOL Martha Burk. "**** it, we'll do it live without commercials" was awesome.
Bill O'Reilly paid one of his sexual harassment victims more than $30 million. I can't even imagine what he must have done to her. High character outfit over there. Don't buy the "James Murdoch is a good guy" bull****.
I am curious how ticket scalping works at Augusta. They are very much against reselling - seems like it would be trivially easy to keep it from happening with current technology. Pro tip: go for the practice round. Chicken sandwich is up to $3 this year. Why?
As you all know, Augusta is famous for exercising extreme influence over the telecast. Which begs the question: why am I still getting Faldo?
The obvious favorite this year is Rory. Golf media is stupid - the guy has been in the top 5 in every tournament for like 6 months, including winning the players, and their stupid narrative is does he have enough WIM or is he a finisher or whatever nonsense bull**** they come up with. The dude is killing it. And seems like a pretty good dude, notwithstanding dumping his long time gf with a text message.
The next tier is DJ/JT/Tiger/Rose/Spieth/Fowler/Rahm. Nevermind, not Rahm. That caddy interaction was absolutely phenomenal. Lots of people rip the Masters for its small field; I like it. Does anyone really want Brian Gay having an out of body experience and winning? It was bad enough when Trevor Immelman did it.
The rest of the field is split about 50/50 between super old geezer hacks and people who might get hot and contend. I'd profile them, but you don't care and neither do I.
