just watching the Masters par 3 Nicklaus, Player and Watson playing together. Brilliant.
Still got a better swing than me now.

Who is going to win the main event?
 
Putting 5 in the water without hitting a bad shot, really is heart breaking. Sometimes the set up of the course is just too unfair.
The first one was not a bad shot but he hit the other 4 in the same place so I would say there bad shots.
These guys have the skill to take spin on and off the ball and land it in a different place on the green.
I thought it was poor play and as someone more wiser than us once said if you don't change anything you will get the same result ..... and he did ...

Agree, and it's the same for everybody but he was the only one to take 5.

I get your point, being a keen golfer, not so much these days, I have watched the Master since the sixties, and some of the greens are nearly unplayable they are so fast and undulating. I just feel if you hit the ball near the pin it should at least stay on the green.
 
I don't think Ive ever had a 13 on one hole when I've played.... Sergio has...

I feel Sergio's pain there. I screwed up a really good round a few years ago by taking a 16 on a par 3. 170 yards carry over water tee to green, I put the tee shot and 6 reloads into the pond. The 8th attempt was withing a foot of the hole and I had a tap in for 16.

I might be missing something here but I would have thought that hitting it into some water was, by definition, a bad ****ing shot.

Unless you were aiming at the water.


In which case it may well have been a good ****ing shot.


Who knows? I don't, 'cos I know **** all about golf. I'm in the good walk ruined camp. It does strike me though that it's a sport where cheating is allowed and positively encouraged. Why are the players allowed to pick their balls up and put them in a better position all the ****ing time?

players aren't allowed to pick their balls up and put them in a better position. where did you get that idea?

Garcia didn't it any of them straight into the water. they all crossed the water, landed on the green near the flag. Then the backspin took the ball back down a steep slope and in to the hazard. Arguably he should have learned from the initial attempt and put the later ones further past the hazard or dialed down on the backspin he was achieving.

the irony is that the first one that went in was virtually identical to the shot he played at the same hold last year. that time it stayed on the green and he made an eagle.
