Cant wait. Scheffler hasn’t been playing lately. I wonder why. Can Rory win again this year.

Round 1 starts tomorrow.My favorites are Scheffler, McIlroy, Morikawa and Schauffle I hope DeChambeau falls apart. I think anyone playing for LIV should be eliminated from any PGA tournaments. They made their choice and walked away with a boat load of money. Why deprive the faithful who stayed loyal to the PGA their their share of the purse.

I think they are finding those boats were smaller than they thought they would be and spread out over a longer period.
I wouldn't be surprised if the grand LIV experiment quietly disappears in two or three years.

Hard to believe it's been 7 years since we were there.

I don't think I can ever adequately describe how perfect the place was.
I mean it had been raining heavily so they rolled out clay to absorb the moisture on the footpaths.
But they didn't roll out boring clay, if it was on grassy areas, it was dyed green but on pine straw areas it was brown clay.
It was that level of attention to detail.
Everywhere you looked, there was a teenage boy with a picker and a plastic bag cleaning up trash like they were gonna get $5 for each piece.
Mercedes was hosting from Firethorn Cabin where we would go for food.
I swear every waitress could have been a beauty contestant, simply stunning.

Just found this video that really explains how the Masters became what it is today, as Jerry noted. This is
why it remains “A Tradition Unlike Any Other.”

It's Mr. Jones' venue and tournament. GOAT IMHO. 'Nuff said.
