The Masters Tournament

[doozer]

I would pump the portodumpers for the chance to play a round.

 

[vol_in_ar]

if you registered for tickets, the first round of emails on if you won tournament day tickets have been sent or you can login to your account and check..

I struck out

 

[GBO18]

No tickets for me.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Negative for me as well, but I pretty much knew I wouldn't get drawn for actual tournament tickets. Still holding out hope for the practice rounds next month. That's what I got drawn for last year.

 

[GAVol]

Does anybody even know anybody that's won tickets to the actual tournament? I've never seen it happen.

No. They only started advertising that tickets to Thursday-Sunday were available to win within the past 2 or 3 years. I've always figured they have some absurdly low number eligible to be drawn. There's probably tens of thousands of people who enter for the drawing and I bet there's something like 5 tickets available.

Oops

 

[govols/cc]

I'm guessing its 2 separate drawings & the practice round drawing hasn't happened yet.

 

[vol_in_ar]

suppose to know about the practice round by mid-july

Wow. That sucks.

 

[vol_in_ar]

yea, will be interesting to see what they do

Doubt there is much they'll be able to do before this year's tournament. Long term, who knows.

 

[bleedorange0037]

While this is bumped, who here is actually attending this year? After two straight years of good fortune, my luck ran out this year and I won't be going. Hopefully next year.

It's sad from a sentimental point of view, but that tree really hasn't been much of a factor for awhile now.

True. As long as they hit it reasonably on line, guys just bomb past it now.

Tiger to miss The Masters after having surgery on his back earlier in the week.

 

[FalcoVol]

I bet he feels MUCH better now. Mine gave me instant relief.

He'll be forced to do things differently from now on, which could be a good thing for his career depending on how disciplined he is in his approach.

This. His power and swing speed came with a price. Too much stress on his joints and back over the years.

CBS will talk about him not being in it more than whoever is winning. I guess its better than having to watch him play every shot from about 12 strokes behind.

 

[shelbyvillevol]

It cracks me up hearing people say they don't even care to watch the tournament now. I want to slap those people. It's The Effing Masters!

That's the one area where I hate CBS's coverage. They all have the biggest chub for Tiger. NBC/Golf Channel isn't nearly as bad.

I don't get that either. It would certainly add to the drama if Tiger played and was in contention during the weekend, but it's not going to make me watch any less of it than I was already planning to.
