2013 US Masters ADAM SCOTT CHAMPION

[matty]

Is anybody favourite? Tiger maybe, due to form and confidence, but it looks like it's anyone's this year.

[virge666]

Anyone doing a tipping comp ?

[Ashes]

Is this on free to air?

[Waddzy]

Im backing Poulter to get up.. not sure why just think he is due to break through on something big like this. Rose I think will shoot well Thurs/Friday but loses something over the weekend..

[virge666]

Is this on free to air?

Always.

[PerryGroves]

Is this on free to air?

Thank goodness Channel Ten are covering thereby avoiding another round of discussion about Foxtel vs free to air (not aimed at you Ashes).

No Luke Elvy this year but there will be some other poor bloke taking the horrific feed from the US and wearing the wrath from domestic punters prior to their first coffee and dart. Jim Nantz sucking maximum schlong, the ****in azaeleas, Tiger every two seconds, that said, I'm pumped

[sms316]

I think it is scheduled to occassionally interrupt advertising on Network Ten.

[Waddzy]

I think it is scheduled to occassionally interrupt advertising on Network Ten. So we will get to see tiger putt, mcilroy putt then ad break? rinse and repeat?

[Ashes]

Sweet. Wouldn't normally be fussed (I accept I'm a tightarse and miss out on stuff on tv as a result) but I'm home with a new bub and tend to be up with him early mornings around the time it'll be on. :)

[PeteyD]

To be fair the masters coverage was a lot better than that last year.

[sms316]

So we will get to see tiger putt, mcilroy putt then ad break? rinse and repeat?
Perhaps. CBS have to show (I think) 57 minutes of "action" per hour. It is a shame that their contract conditions don't extend to Ten.

[Ashes]

Lol

At least all WAnkers will get to see heaps of my good friend Barry from the PGN!

[virge666]

gents,

they only send the US feed. Which is much higher advertising allotment than here. it is not Channel 10, it is the US feed, that is how they televise it.

Channel 10 have no say it what gets shown... they just resend the feed.

Foxtel is exactly the same except they have some numpty drone his way through a few other players that no one gives a shit about when the USA are showing ads. You can always tell as the feed will switch to Standard Def.

it is the way it has always been.

[virge666]

20 mins of action for each half hour.

in other words - 2 mins action = 1 min of advertising.

In Oz it is 23 mins for each half hour.

Not true Virge. The Masters has a contract with CBS stating 57 minutes of "action" to be shown per hour. Totally different to every other tournament.

[PeteyD]

The masters control the telecast. I think it is in 'A Good Walk Spoilt" that it gets outlined what the agreement is.

[virge666]

Not true Virge. The Masters has a contract with CBS stating 57 minutes of "action" to be shown per hour. Totally different to every other tournament.

You sure... and are you sure it doesn't include other channels narrow casting. I remember lots of shots of flowers, and bridges whilst they recap play over and over.

In the US, you can get 4 different channels of the same event at different places. Does this kick in to the 57 mins ?

No idea from my end... but 6 ads an hour would struggle to make the TV rights viable even at 60K a spot.

[oncewasagolfer]

I don't mind as I won't be watching live and can skip the ads along with the endless sepo bs.

When I say 57 mins of "action" it would probably make more sense to say ads are limited to 3 minutes per hour.

+500

[virge666]

Yep - 6 30 seconds commercials.

Anyone got any references to look up ?

[sms316]

I stuffed up - it is 56 mins. According to Wiki (yes - I know).


The club mandates minimal commercial interruption, currently limited to four minutes per hour (as opposed to the usual 12 or more); this is subsidized by selling exclusive sponsorship packages to three companies--as of 2013, these "partners" are IBM (http://www.ozgolf.net/wiki/IBM), ExxonMobil (http://www.ozgolf.net/wiki/ExxonMobil) and AT&T (http://www.ozgolf.net/wiki/AT%26T).[84] (http://www.ozgolf.net/#cite_note-prest-84) In the immediate aftermath of the Martha Burk controversy, there were no commercials during the 2003 and 2004 broadcasts,[85] (http://www.ozgolf.net/#cite_note-polite-85) although international commercial broadcasters continued to insert their own commercials into the coverage. The Players Championship began imposing the same rule in 2007 and some of the other major championships have tried to follow suit in their most recent TV contracts.

[Dude, Where's my Par?]

so how will I know what Drummond have on sale if I can only watch them repeated a few times an hour?
I demand more BO on my TV!

[Veefore]

That's the US feed that has the ad restrictions.
I believe that the international feed has no restrictions on advertising times as each country has its own broadcast regulations.

[virge666]

I stuffed up - it is 56 mins. According to Wiki (yes - I know).

nice one - cheers

[Rowdy]

Tiger is the hottest golfer on the planet by some margin at the moment so has to be the overwhelming favourite.

I've always had a feeling Charles Howell would go close to winning a Masters, playing very well this year so he's my underdog tip.

DJ is very up and down but will probably win a major or two before he is done, wouldn't surprise me to see him win.

[matty]

Tiger if his short game continues. But can he handle the weekend and deal with his first wayward drive on Saturday?

[Johnny Canuck]

Phat Phil.

[markTHEblake]

Ben Crane. and he will play the final round in his helmet.

[BrettM]

Either Brandt Snedeker or Charl Schwartzel to win, might put a bit on each.

[BGH]

I think you will get pretty good odds on Charles Howell III winning the masters seeing as though he failed to qualify to play.

[BGH]

Tiger is obviously the man to beat, but if I had to throw in a few roughies I'd say Keegs, Peter Hanson or Bill Haas.

[Ashes]

Someone using a cheat stick will win unfortunately.

[Rowdy]

I think you will get pretty good odds on Charles Howell III winning the masters seeing as though he failed to qualify to play.

Wow, I thought he was inside the top 50 comfortably. I'm not the only one to make that mistake obviously, there are still people wanting to back him on Betfair from $230-$1000. About $300 free money if you have a healthy BF balance.

[sms316]

Jesus tell us what you really think ha ha

[BayBum]

Hanson is a good out sider, Tiger & DJ would be my big guns.

[Ashes]

Haysey?

No idea, they're all nobodies using those things.

[timah!]

Stuff you all:

Go Rory!

[Dotty]

Jesus tell us what you really think ha ha
No can do.

He'll be very busy that week helping Bernhard, Bubba and Baddely.

[popper81]

Stuff you all:Go Rory! He will win....... The weekend off.

When did you start using a cheat stick??

[haysey]

When did you start using a cheat stick??


Back when all the cool kids were using them....

[Dcanto]

Back when all the cool kids were using them.... With all the weight you have lost you won't have much of a belly left to anchor a putter against.

[razaar]

Tiger will be hard to beat. Hopefully somebody other than an American will win it. Fingers and toes are crossed for Jason Day to pull it off.

[KristianJ]

No can do. He'll be very busy that week helping Bernhard, Bubba and Baddely. Aaron will be requiring intervention this weekend in order to make it to Augusta to play.

[markTHEblake]

He'll be very busy that week helping Bernhard, Bubba and Baddely.

An omnipresent being can't be busy, an eternal being can't be booked in for a week, and he doesn't intervene to help those three nor the other 20 you forgot to mention either!

[Jackson]

Sounds a lot like the government, always there but doesn't seem to actually help anyone.

[irishamateur]

Here are my outsider picks:

Francesco Molinari@$270
Bill Haas@$160
Scott Piercy@$420
Jason Dufner@70
Paul Lawrie@560


All prices from Betfair.com

[talbo]

Would like to see Adam win it but have a feeling Tiger will do well.

[PeteyD]

Jason Day. Feeling in the water.

[Dotty]

Only 126 holes to go, for the Bowdo Cinderella story.

[Ducky]

Is this on free to air?

Always.
So excited. :D

[Johnny Canuck]

I like the Dufner pick. Especially with all that has transpired with Dufnering.

I would love Phil & Bubba head to head on Sunday in a lefties battle.

[Mububban]

I would love Phil & Bubba head to head on Sunday in a lefties battle.

There would not a dull moment with those 2 playing

[Ashes]

Read today that the 14yr old Chinese amateur has been at Augusts preparing for the past month.

At that level, how much benefit would you get from that sort of preparation in advance?

[idgolfguy]

Really get an understanding of the various course nuances. Hopefully help to control the adrenaline rush when the crowds are there.

[PeteyD]

Given that once you qualify you are allowed to play it as much as possible when it is open, I'd be there as much as possible. He may never get on it again (not likely if he is as good as they say, but possible).

[markTHEblake]

I hope nobody finds out that the 14yp chinese kid uses a belly putter. This thread will jump to about 10 pages within 24 hours.

[PerryGroves]

Playing Augusta beats the shit out of punching the clock at the Shenzhen Nike factory.

Think the amateurs are given accomodation somewhere on the grounds. Memories to last a lifetime.

[simmsy]

Instead of questioning his preparation ashes, maybe take something from it. Can't hurt your game.

[Golfnut]

How would he do that? He has almost nothing in common with this kid.

Taking in the sights at Cottesloe Beach is tough to deal with I guess..

But this is the Masters thread; got anything relevant to contribute?

[Mububban]

This link has a course tour of Augusta with flyover videos. Simply amazing. I doubt I'll ever see let alone play a course like this in my lifetime, but I can dream

[virge666]

Wow,

How about the inane drivel surrounding the 14 year old on the video feed.

Kudo's to him, won the Asian Amateur... I still don't think he is in Mozart's league though.


:) :) :)

[Jarro]

They were always going to gush over a person so young taking part in their prestigious tournament

It'll be interesting to see what kind of air-time they give him , regardless of how he's playing ?

[chinaski]

Thank god it's also on Foxtel, saves me screwing around with rabbit ears trying to get OneHD.

I think the par 3 tournament is on ONE, but the main comp is on Ten Digital.

[Lucasto23]

Pretty bland.

Enjoyed his interview today. Funny man and good sense of humour about himself.

Cries a bit too much though

[Jackson]

Disappoint in Bubbas menu.
Pretty bland.

Im guessing he had some of the best chefs available at his disposal and he has them cook caesar salad, chicken and mac n cheese with cornbread?
Crazy, but I guess if thats what he likes then good on him.

[Jarro]

Par 3 contest.

Looks like Brian Gay has been into Leftyhoges wardrobe !! :shock:

[Ferrins]

No biggie as you can order off the menu anyway. On another note I played a tennis tournament at Augusta and stayed with a really really rich guy who only housed the number 1 seed each year(wasn't me) I befriended this tier 1 tennis patron with the usual would you mind giving me a hit wow you got some game what do you think I should do with my serve strategy. Anyway he offered me a Round of golf at Augusta National but I declined. I was a keen golfer then but it never clicked to me that Augusta National Golf Course and the Masters were one and the same. Missed a golden opportunity there.

Just heard the new rules, for the cut, top 50 (gone up from 40) and those within 10 shots of the lead....may as well have no cut?:smt017

[Shane788]

Who won the par 3 comp? Last I seen before I left the house was Bo Van Pelt -4 thru 4 holes.

[Ferrins]

Bo was 6 under and had a birdie putt on the last and let his kid putt so DQed.

[Johnny Canuck]

Smart move. No superstitious golfer wants to win the par 3.

[Mububban]

Can't wait to wake up early and watch it, watching the Masters for the first time is what really hooked me into golf, can't wait to revisit Augusta National

[Eag's]

I have very little interest in golf these days, but even I will tune in at some stage.

Keep it civil people.

Healthy debate is fine, but lets not get into any name calling.

Please respect everyones opinion.

[Webster]

wow, must have been nasty if it needed two mods to settle the peace (well done boys BTW)

[Ashes]

Really enjoyed watching the par 3 comp today. Awesome for the game that a fun, relaxed, social event like that is televised.

Great to see Fuzzy let a young girl from the gallery have a putt on one hole, even though she anchored.

Also cool to see all the pros kids get a chance to be involved too.

[Eag's]

Yes. Check your email. I knew I shouldn't have posted about the comp on the forum.

Why the need for a invite only tipping comp??

So a great par 3 comp , fun , relaxed , great social event , kids get involved.

But what's the big deal with a girl anchoring , why mention it.

[Ashes]

I found it amusing.

[Webster]

It will haunt her in the years to come Hooker......oh the shame she will feel looking back on it. Poor thing.

[rubin]

Why do u feel the need to make it an issue?

[Hooker]

And I find the whole thing calling someone a cheat who plays within the rules amusing.

[Ashes]

I wish you did, you wouldn't get so upset and carry on.

[rubin]

Ricki Fowler's my tip for the green jacket!

[Hooker]

Well , emm , excuse me , if you play the game and proud yourself as a stickler to the rules and then being called a cheat .:evil::evil::evil:

[Jarro]

Give it a rest people.

Take it to the appropriate thread, people here want to talk about the Masters tournament, not the anchoring issue.

Last warning !

[Eag's]

Go John Senden ;)

[Webster]

Well said Jarro.

I have a question for the forum - which player using an anchored putter will have the best finish in the Masters ? (I think Webb Simpson, but only 'cos his wife is smoking hot).

[Ashes]

Ricki Fowler's my tip for the green jacket!

I wouldn't mind seeing that. Still prefer to see Tiger win so everyone can stop banging on about how long it's been since he last won a major..

[timah!]

Do we need to ask LeftyHoges about the scripting of outfits?

[Webster]

Not nice Hooker. Besides, anchoring of golf forums is not allowed.

Peter, I'm typing on my laptop, which, funnily enough, appears to be anchored to my lap. Is it ok to post that way on Ozgolf without incurring the wrath of the traditionalists?

[Ashes]

Do we need to ask LeftyHoges about the scripting of outfits?

I thought that was a pretty cool marketing exercise from Nike. Have they done it before?

[QldHacker]

Go TIGER. Day and Scott runners up again....

[Johnny Canuck]

Has jarro taken the forum somewhere? It's dark in here.

[Eag's]

The Masters is due for a roughie to get up.

[PeteyD]

Jason Day.

[rubin]

Poulter?

He wouldn't be a bad pick IMO.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Rory/tiger Sunday pairing to be honest.

[Webster]

Hooker = banned. Just like his anchored putter in a couple of years time.

And now back to the Masters - I still think it's really shitty that Ch10 are only showing it in SD and not HD. I hate themcheapskates. A lot.

Will be interesting to compare it to the Par 3 coverage. I haven't ever noticed a big difference between SD and HD channels to be honest.

[Johnny Canuck]

Westwood.

[sms316]

Will be interesting to compare it to the Par 3 coverage. I haven't ever noticed a big difference between SD and HD channels to be honest. If you have Foxtel do a flick between HD and SD. The difference is quite obvious.

[timah!]

I think nike has really pushed it this year with Tiger and Rory, but Puma, IJP and others do it regularly.

[Ashes]

Don't have foxtel.. I don't see much diff on FTA unless it's a poor quality source to begin with.

[Eag's]

Westwood.

I would love to see Westwood finally rack up his first Major.

[markTHEblake]

Hooker = banned.

Hard to believe he got banned yet seems to be acceptable to call someone a dipshit.

[Peter]

Did you see his final post Blakey?

Even God wouldn't forgive him for that one...

[Johnny Canuck]

Hard to believe he got banned yet seems to be acceptable to call someone a dipshit. He did directly tell a mod to put the forum in the back of his Volkswagen.

[Peter]

I would love to see Westwood finally rack up his first Major.For some reason I've never warmed to Westwood.Wouldn't mind seeing Rose or Poulter get a win.

[JADO75]

My smokey is Scott, cheat stick & all. First round leader will be DJ

From The Masters twitter account:

The official website of the Masters Tournament is now live and ready for 2013: http://www.masters.com

During Masters week, the site will include 7 live video channels, live scoring, 360 degree photos of the course, news and highlights.

[Captain Nemo]

Just started watching the par 3 contest from this morning, took 10 minutes into the telecast before I saw someone hit a ball (Arnie, poorly)
Hope this isn't a sign of things to come with the telecast tomorrow....:cry:

[Ashes]

I think Arnie nutted someone on one hole.

[Captain Nemo]

Yep, put one out to the right....:lol:

Good old channel 10. Their logo is covering the golfers scores.

And it was a joy having Gow and that guy with the weird head who does motorsport bang on while the coverage had started. (thought I'd be first one to have a bitch!)

That Keegan Bradley has a bit of the Herman Munsters about him.

[Peppas]

Good old channel 10. Their logo is covering the golfers scores.


Great stuff channel 10 :)

[Dcanto]

They seem to have gotten the message. Logo is now a shadow and moved to bottom right corner

Rory hits the drive of the day and misses the green for a bogey. :roll:

That was hard to watch :(

[Dcanto]

Was that the Phrankenwhatever that Phil sprayed off the tee on 7?

[Shane788]

I believe it was, old Phil isn't having the best of days.

[Shane788]

Sergio is on fire!

[oncewasagolfer]

Fowlers doing well -4 with two doubles.

[Ferrins]

Just curious does anyone else watch the Masters in white overalls?

[oncewasagolfer]

thanks

Hahaha.

Does anyone else own white overalls?

[Dude, Where's my Par?]

Mine were dry cleaned and pressed ready for 4am this morning.
it's my green hat that just tops it off

[Dcanto]

Courty is probably dressed up like Ian Poulter.

[oncewasagolfer]

definately need the green cap ferrins.

[Dotty]

I wear mine to onsite auctions, and walk around with a blue light.

[Courty]

Courty is probably dressed up like Ian Poulter. Nah, I'm wearing my Puma PJ's today. ;)

[Jarro]

Nah, I'm wearing my Puma PJ's today. ;)

The same ones Ricky is wearing today ?

[fredstar]

Haha. Tiger isn't much of a salesman for Nike is he?! Asked why he put new 3 wood in bag he says he kept cracking his old ones. Perfect chance to give the new Covert a plug and say how good it is.

[fredstar]

How about that kid?!!

[Shane788]

That was a great segment on the young 14 year old.

[Ferrins]

Hahaha. Does anyone else own white overalls? Went for the bib and brace this year seeing Bubba is the defending champion.

[sms316]

By all accounts we should be thankfull that we have Ten covering this. The poor souls in the UK have Colin Montgomerie calling it instead of the CBS crew.

[PeteyD]

I have no issue with the coverage I have seen so far. Thankfully not early enough for the logo doofusification.

[sms316]

I have no issue with the coverage I have seen so far. Thankfully not early enough for the logo doofusification. While they are letting CBS do the coverage and not cutting in with Gow and the other mumper they are doing fine.

[sms316]

scores people, i am in a hut in the middle of nowhere atm? I am confuse. Do you want scores or not want any mention of them?

[BayBum]

#PhrankenPhail hit PW on 12 while the youngin hit 7i ! Thats pretty damn impressive to be playing at that level with such a length disadvantage,for lack of a better term. It would make for some interesting viewing if he was paired with DJ & Cabrera.

[Ferrins]

By all accounts we should be thankfull that we have Ten covering this. The poor souls in the UK have Colin Montgomerie calling it instead of the CBS crew. Do they befuddle in England? Actually you got befuddled three years ago on the closing hole of the Champs.

[mrbluu]

Brett Ogle said that the kid T Guan wouldn't break 80......he shot 73!!! Hate much Brett???

[muldude]

I think everyone else thought the same, self included. awesome effort

[sms316]

I would be very concerned if I was a past champion and a Chinese guy wins. The menu at the dinner could be frightening.

[Dotty]

I hope Vijay wins, and he can cook up the rest of the deer.

[Ferrins]

They could bring it in on the bonnet of his courtesy car. Not deer hunting season though as it finishes end of January.

[Hatchman]

Ogle made a 50/50 call and and got it wrong, big deal. I wouldn't say it was based on hate, just playing the safe side of the odds.
If we ran a pole on here predicting if the kid would break 80 I don't think too many would have voted yes seriously.

[oncewasagolfer]

I am confuse. Do you want scores or not want any mention of them? Yes i was after a score update.

[oncewasagolfer]

that is a good effort by the young bloke hope he makes the cut and wins leading am.

[sms316]

Yes i was after a score update.
So you can access this website, but not pgatour.com or masters.org or golfchannel.com ?

[oncewasagolfer]

I was just after a quick update as people were saying how good sergio was going etc. Plus I have bugger all data on my $7.99/month mobile plan:)

[sms316]

Fred Couples is 53. Tianlang Guan is 14. Nothing softens the generational gap like a couple of belly putters.

:wink:

[timah!]

Rory - WTF?? Birdie, bogey, birdie, bogey, birdie, bogey....

[PeteyD]

Putting like popper.

[Eag's]

Great to see an Aussie at the top of a leaderboard for a change 8-)

No Brett was on the radio being completely dismissive of the the kid's chances to break 80, that's not making a 50/50....that's hating!!!

[rubin]

Just watching the last few holes of Rory.


Not liking the kids swing at the moment. He's got some sort of 'pop' in the down swing which looks like what tiger used to do with his left knee to get his hips to clear faster. Definitely not as smooth as what it has looked previously.

[Hatchman]

Still a 50/50 call on safe side dismissive or not. Doesn't make it hate.
Hate would be saying he doesn't even deserve to be in the field because uses a cheat stick.

[sms316]

That's not hate. Hate is saying that he should be shot for using a cheat stick.

[matty]

Can't say I expected the 14yo to do any good. Just incredible with his lack of length. What a swing though.

[Nuffie]

The guys I've put tenners on are sitting well: Kuchar, Scott, Phil and Bradley. Fingers x'd for the weekend.

Disagree, he didn't make a 50/50, he was saying the kid had no hope of breaking 80, that's hating.

In any case, Brett can't hate him for that cos he uses a longer cheat stick!!

[fredstar]

Who cares what Brett Ogle says at all?

[PeteyD]

His mum.

I have money on Day, Scott and Blubba. Blubba let me down today.

[Jarro]

Good point ;)

i do and know him well, great bloke who does alot of work for charity

[sms316]

His mum. I doubt it. He's adopted.

[Ashes]

Do the top players like Woods and Mickelson aim to build over the 4 rounds, rather than coming out firing in the first round? Would Woods want to shoot a 66 straight up if he could, or is he happier sitting back a few under early?

[Hatchman]

I think your letting your dislike of Ogle cloud your judgement of the word hate.

[matty]

Would Woods want to shoot a 66 straight up if he could, or is he happier sitting back a few under early? He'd would've taken a 66 if you offered it to him before the start of the round. He just didn't shoot it today. End of story. In saying that, Phil said he was surprised at how soft the greens were and that he could've attacked them more but was too wary as usually it's a lot harder to hold them.

[chinaski]

Clearly I am working hard today.

Looked like my desk. Good excuse to start at 5am today.

[mrbluu]

No, I actually liked watching him on Foxtel and most weeks listening to him on the radio. I even met him at drummond store and he seem like a nice enough guy. Also I think you think I'm using the word hate in the tradition literal sense. I thoughts his comments are of a hater! (see definition 1 of the link below)

May I ask how you are watching that via Ipad?

[chinaski]

May I ask how you are watching that via Ipad? With the Foxtel Go app

It looks like Foxtel via iPad.

Who would have thought a 14 year old amateur who weighs maybe 50 kilos soaking wet would shoot +1 on a course like Augusta. Superb effort. And it was great to see the crowd giving the 14 year old kid a brilliant response when he sunk the birdie putt on 18.

Let’s hope the Aussies improve from here.


Fred Couples just looks like such a cool cat out there doesn't he? Such a great swing to watch.


Phil’s body language was pure annoyance. Rory’s was pure frustration. Still, they’re -1 and even so definitely could be worse on a course like that.


I did see Phil smash his Phrankenwood off the tee on one hole though, he wasn’t kidding about the amount of rollout he gets! Nice sound too.


I can’t believe the greens, TV just doesn’t show the crazy undulations. And they look scary fast.


Early to bed again tonight, watching 2 hours this morning wasn’t enough! Most of the big names had finished by the time I got up.

[Hatchman]

Setting the PVR and getting an extra 60/90min sleep is the way to go. By the time you fast forward the adds your caught up live near the end of the telecast.

I saw Brett Ogle at RQ around ten years ago, must have been his and Norman's last game there.

After his round Brett spent at least an hour signing autographs and photos. The amount of time he spent talking to kids and answering their questions was impressive, and something all involved wouldn't have forgotten.

I like the man.

[aussieashley]

I noticed the big guns from Adidas all wearing the same shirts this morning. Black with the green on top. Any thoughts from the fashion experts on here?

I think Phil and some of the other guys seemed to have the same coloured Callaway bag.

Is this co-ordination a new thing? I haven't noticed it in previous years.

The clothing is what the better tm boys are wearing and rumour is they'll be in 'uniform' all weekend.

The bag is similar to what tm have done a few times now and gone with a ltd edition 'season opener' bag as most view the masters as the true start to the golfing season in the us.

[BenM]

The uniforms are as below... shirts, anyway:

It makes it difficult to tell who is who from a distance!

[LeftyHoges]

Seems TMAG have heard of the success of the Easties and the Confederates of winning in uniform... ;-)

[LeftyHoges]

Not all out on the course obviously but more than a handful are out there and some big scores being posted already, with only two people under the card for the day.

Could be tough out there?
