Title: Masters 2016
Post by: JoeMezz on Monday, April 4, 2016, 14:11:41
Looking forward to this, who do we fancy then?

Adam Scott at 12/1 looks a pretty good pick, although hard to overlook Jason Day.

If Spieth is striking it he wins because his putting is still light years ahead of everyone else.

I reckon it will be one of the current top 10 in the world who'll win it.
I want Rory to win but have my doubts. Think Rickie Fowler will win a major this year. Maybe it'll be this one ?

Can't wait for this to get started tonight. Got a few days off work now so will be glued to my tv every evening.

I've had a punt on Rickie Fowler e/w

Don't suppose anyone was on Els? Apart from Talk Talk obviously.

Was looking to put on an in-play bet but this could be over already.

Reminds me of Tiger at his best, once he took the lead on the 1st day you just couldn't see anyone bettering his score by Sunday

Nah will be much much closer than people think

Everyone said that last year and he made all the running and never broke sweat. Jayday losing it back 9 as we speak... I'll stick my neck out and say this is over.

If he fires 66 or better tomorrow then it's game over.

I hope that you didnt waste too much money on Ricky Fowler, Arriba? 


Title: Re: Masters 2016
Post by: Arriba on Friday, April 8, 2016, 08:19:00
Nah. I never bet more than I can afford. Still think he has a major in him despite it going badly yesterday.

Couple of 9 inchers and still couldn't get in the hole

Let's face it, though, we've all done it at the seaside crazy golf at some time. I wonder how many attempts he took to get it through the windmill?:

I had a tenner on Ricky Fowler, a kiss of death after my (smaller) bet on Swindon to beat Wigan  :no:

What amazes me is how Ernie Els managed to shoot only 80 after that start.

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread ;)

I hate golf but he's the sort of sportsman I like, poor fella.

Looks like Duffner, Johnson, Bubba and Scott all going to miss cut


Title: Re: Masters 2016
Post by: DMR on Saturday, April 9, 2016, 00:09:18
Duffner was a freak champion who is arguably the worst player to pick up a major in the history of the game, DJ spends more time bent over lines than he does on the range and Adam
Scott can't use the broomstick any more - the only surprise of the 4 is Bubba missing the cut.

Not noticed Scott's form since changing putters ? hasn't harmed his game at all.
 
Rory vs spieth today is gonna be great. Out for 18 holes myself today then it will be on in my house all evening.

Wish i'd managed to stay awake for the back nine now, I went to sleep and Spieth was 5 ahead with 8 to play, shit!

I caught the Oosthuizen hole in one, lucky fuck.
I wonder if there's ever been a hole-in-one where someone's ball inadvertently knocked in an opponents ball on the green?

 Don't bother watching The Masters any longer, for a variety of reasons, but mainly because of Yanks shouting "get in the hole"  >:(

 but always look to see what happened, as it might come up in a quiz.  eg last week......name the 19 players who've lost in a Masters play off. (Go on DMR etc see what you can do....no cheating)

But Willet  :)    sweet.

YouTube links never work for me from this site for some reason ?
Anyway, if you hit someone's ball into the hole it wont count. It will have to be taken out and replaced where it was sat originally.

Reg, there are very few shouts at the masters thankfully. The odd one or two is about it, and any person doing it is thrown off the course. Should do this everywhere in my opinion.

Agree with Arriba. I didn't hear the stupid 'Get in the hole' once, even though there was a few  other things shouted out at times.

Great win and great story but he does look like Reek from GoT.
