The main gate that lets you in to see the practice range and go to the gift shop opened at 7:15ish yesterday. They opened the gate to the actual course at about 7:55

I guess I need to see if the info packet that came with the tickets has anything in it about gate times. I wonder if they will change it for the actual rounds.

Need some help.....This is the only tourney that I really want to see all four rounds. I could take off work and watch the masters coverage, featured groups, amen corner, etc.... on my CPU at home and the espn coverage on the tv....OR i could just record what comes on tv. How much do you miss if all you watch is the espn coverage on thurs and Fri?

If you tape the ESPN coverage starting at 3pm on Thursday and Friday you'll see pretty much all meaningful shots. I feel like the extra channels are good if there is someone specific you want to basically follow for those certain holes only.

Well the masters.com site says they will have 2 featured groups thurs and Fri....I'm assuming tiger will be in a feature group both days so that would mean I'd get to see all his shots if i watch he masters.com coverage on the CPU right?

If he's the featured group then yes. However, ESPN will undoubtly show every Tiger shot as well plus the rest of the tournament.

Rory may not make the cut but who knows. He will play a terrible stretch then everything will come together for a week or 2 & then he's a wreck again. Then there's always a few dark horses that come out of nowhere & play well at Augusta.

Odds are, he'll play in the morning one day, which won't be televised, and in the afternoon on the other, which ESPN will show every shot plus he'll be in one of the marquee groups with its own coverage. I think that's how it usually works out.

If you go off early Thursday you'll go off late Friday and vice versa. That's how it works every year.

The only thing that could screw it up is if he draws a tee time around 11:00. That would mean he would be all but done by the time they came on the air at 3:00 one day, and have at most 4-5 holes to play the other. I would imagine Augusta National would try and do it's part to get him on TV for at least one day.

The pairings are up....he tees off at 10:45 eastern thurs and 1:41 on Fri

Wow, talk about a worst case scenario. So we'll see exactly zero of his shots in the first round and then maybe get to see 10 or 11 holes on Friday. That really sucks. Hopefully he plays well enough that he not only makes the cut, but plays the majority of his rounds on TV during the weekend. I love the Masters, but I really do wish Augusta would grant the rights to televise the whole tournament rather than just 4 hours a day.

Score. Even though I have a 60 inch TV, they grant me the privilege to watch on my phone. I realize the limited TV coverage and general lack of oversaturation that Augusta enforces only helps to add to the mystique of the tournament, but it's still frustrating that the #1 player in the world is probably at most going to have half of one of his first two rounds televised.

if you have a 60 inch tv and wireless internet you should be able to feed the Masters.com coverage thru your TV....Dont think you could record it though.

And therein lies my real beef. Having already taken yesterday off to actually go to Augusta, I'm probably going to need to work just about all day Thursday and Friday to catch up. I'm in the lawn care/landscape business, so watching from my phone while I'm working is pretty much off the table other than maybe just for a few minutes here and there. Being able to record Tiger's round one of those days would have been pretty nice. I'll still record Friday's round and watch him play those final few holes though.

You could stream coverage from the Masters website on a laptop/desktop and record your screen using quicktime player. Not sure on audio, but I guess it will record the audio through your speakers.

Lots of good info on where to set up shop to see some the best action. Thanks for posting those of you that are down there now and the ones that have been before.

Anybody know for sure what time the gates open on Thursday? I would love to see the opening ceremony.

I would recommend any of these 3 spots, based on watching the last 2 days..

- The bleachers on the 15th green (on the side closest to the 16th tee), you see the approach on 15, the 15 green, and can turn to watch them play the 16th

- Behind the green at 7, you can see them coming down 2, tee off on 3, then their approach and green at 7.

- the bleachers on 12, up top and on the side closest to 11...You see, the 11, green, and then them playing par 3 12th.

- I also liked behind the green at 10, but you only get to see that one hole, but it's impressive to see the elevation change on 10, and the players coming up to the 10th green

For food:
Everybody talks about the pimento cheese sandwiches, but the egg salad, and BBQ are better

Enjoy it, it's phenominal
