I can (occasionally) enjoy golf on tv as much as the next geezer, but the Masters almost makes me puke. I hate the dreary music -- exactly the same every year -- and the endless religious references, so reverently spoken: "shrine", "sacred", "worship" etc. It's a golf course, for crying out loud! It's a tournament for a bunch of pampered multi-millionaires! Yes the grounds are pretty; why wouldn't they be with the huge armies of guys they trot out there (I wonder what their wages are?) to pick up every single fallen blossom, to trim off every bug-eaten leaf. It's as fake a place as Disney World, so stop asking us to bow down! Am rooting for Rocco Mediate or Retief Goosen to win ... please, please, not another WASPy or WASP-like (that's you, Tiger) North American ... End of rant

I concur with you.
I love golf, but the Snobby Racist Masters is always my least favorite tournament.
But, it's the only week where I cheer for Tiger to win. Either him or Vijay. Just because you know it kills those old assholes who run the tournament.

heh, that's my brother Bill's sentiment exactly. I'm not a big PM fan, but to me he's no worse an option than a lot of the others. I almost have to root for him, just to get Bill's goat. ;D And now yours!!! it's a two-fer! GO GO GO PHIL BABY!!!

I read in GQ that Phil is the player most hated by the other players in golf, in an article picking the 10 athletes most hated by their peers (Lleyton represented tennis ). They call him FIGJAM, which means "Fuck I'm Good -- Just Ask Me."

They call him FIGJAM, which means "Fuck I'm Good -- Just Ask Me." That was a good article! Bill e-mailed it to me at the time. The fisherman (!) was the only surprise, and his was the most hilarious bit. But Bill pointed out that golf commentators for some reason never, ever reference this article, while commentators in other sports had a field day with their parts of it. I, of course, was gratified to see the odious Kobe in there. :shit: I forgot Chip made the grade, but that's perfect, too.

I thought I was the only one who hated Mickelson! I really, really dislike him. Him winning in 2004 was the worst thing ever. Even more so, because he kept doing that fake smile in a pathetic attempt to get other players to tolerate him, and he honestly looked retarded.

Why worry about goofy old Phil? We all know in advance that Tiger and Tiger alone will win, as always. How exciting.

Yep, it looks like he's going to pull it out as usual. I'd like Rocco to win! Has he ever won a major?

No. Hasn't really been close either.
Who knows what will happen. I only care that it's not Phil, at this point.

I kinda thought Rocco leapt to fame by being one of those Rich Beem-type fluke major winners. But I guess it's just because he's a paisan.

Hefty is going to win. Unless Tiger has some great round, but it doesn't look likely. Sigh.

I only turned the tv on when I knew Tiger could not win. I'm tired of seeing Tiger in green jacket after green jacket. Lucky for me, I don't hate Phil the way all of you do, so this part is not torture for me. For once! Anyway, PM could still blow it. Remember van der Velde!

Phil's ball goes into the crowd -- lucky he didn't hit his little girl on the head with that one!

To cheer you up, I have posted an article you will like in the Davis Cup zonal group thread.

I have to give credit to Augusta National: they now have clothed that gigantic bosom twice!

I'm going to shoot anyone who expresses surprise when Tiger "roars from behind" and wins this one.
Unfortunately this is going to mean shooting my old Mom and several siblings tomorrow, on Easter Day, but so be it!

Thank God we don't have golf on Eurosport. But, we have snooker so it evens out.

And Appleby, who would have been a very nice, very blond winner, throws the tournament away.
Congrats Tiger.
