You are all forgetting how much of a jammy git I am so that on it's own gives him an extra 50% chance of top 12

Just doing it for a laugh i'm not really a golf fan but I absolute love the Masters for some reason always glued to it

IRT the golf ball rollback discussion Brandel Chamblee is a complete idiot. That is all.

Same goes for MM for a million. Why not just M (or KK) when you already use K for a thousand.

An eagle is one better than birdie.

A double eagle is 2x better than birdie.

A triple eagle is 3x better than birdie, e.g. holing out on a par 5.

Since the albatross has the longest wingspan of any living bird species, I suspect one would need to find a prehistoric bird with longer wingspan to describe a triple eagle, perhaps Pelagornis sandersi.

No, I described eagle as one better than birdie, double eagle 2 better than birdie, and triple eagle 3 better than birdie. 1x, 2x, 3x, where x is the unit equal to the difference between eagle and birdie.

FWIW an albatross is noteworthy for their longest wingspan of any living bird, not their rarity.

For rarity there are several endangered bird species threatened with extinction rarer than the albatross. California condor is notably rare, with Spix's macaw likely the rarest. The ivory billed woodpecker was considered extinct until evidence of its existence in the wild put that claim into dispute.

One could go with the kori bustard, which is the biggest (i.e. heaviest) flight worthy bird.

Interesting Bryson using a new set of irons he supposedly designed with bulge. The clubs were approved by USGA 2 days ago.

Brandel claims that bulge in irons has never been done before, which I doubt. My Cleveland SW has visible bulge, and some other SW manufacturers also include bulge. Never looked for bulge in 2-wedge though.

ETA My SW does not have bulge on the face, but is curved similar to bulge nearest the lowest groove. So maybe Brandel is correct.

I used to like Zach Johnson, but since the RC he's been a douche. Imagine swearing at Augusta patrons.

Tough conditions today. The pm/am draw definitely had the advantage, some big scores and missed cuts in the pm. Tiger looking solid, short game on point and no limp.

Even though he didn't limp I didn't think Tiger ever looked physically comfortable. Maybe it was the conditions, maybe it was just what it looked like, which was that everything hurts.
