Gonna run a Master's pool (and general thoughts on the Master's)

[duketaylor]

Recommendations on best free site to use, using the 6-tier system?

thx in advance.

Six tiers? That's a crazy big PB&J sandwich.

Dunno, but anyone coming into town shoot me a PM if you want to grab a beer.

Any way you slice it.

I'm running one, too. I don't use a site. I have guys post their picks in the thread and I keep track the old fashioned way, with pen and paper.

I though that was Meatloaf.

Anybody here ever been to the Master's? Any tips for a soon to be first time attendee? Not me, one of my relatives.

It's absolutely gorgeous. And the food prices are crazy low.

Is he/she going on a tourney day or a practice round?

Best advice: really comfortable shoes. It is a very hilly course to walk 1-18.

Be absolutely certain to walk thru Amens Corner...holes 11and 12---spectacular

Behind the 16th green has been one of my favorite places to hang out. You can see players play 16 (over the water), or watch them play 6 and then tee off on 7. Amen Corner (11, 12, 13) is also must-see, but crowded. The least crowded food spot is at the back of the property, near the 5th green.

Finally, if you buy one of the folding camp chairs, people really do respect where you place it to come back and sit. And, as someone else said, comfy walking shoes are a MUST.

Enjoy! It really is a tradition unlike any other ....

Haven't been to the tourney, have played there twice. If I were to go to view the tourney I'd put my chair close to 16 green (as mentioned) and roam around. TV doesn't do it justice for elevation changes. Amazing piece of real estate; very understated at best. Beautiful place. Gotta see 9 thru 16. Make sure you have a pimento cheese sandwich (or 3), for almost nothing, all wrapped in green, and several beers. Mind-boggling experience and venue. There's a reason why it might be the 2nd hardest ticket to get behind Duke=unc in CIS.

Few things compare to Augusta. Pebble Beach is pretty close, I must say.

started it today, 10 bucks to play for money, but if you want to play for fun I'll make that happen. Just can't win cash.

PM me if interested. Not gonna put info out here any further.

If it's a competition round... Go early. Stay all day.

Early, I like to check out the practice tee, Number 1, etc. Mid morning, when players are starting to make the turn, and others are just getting started, I like to hang out in the area between the 2nd green, 3rd tee, 7th green and 8th tee. You can see lots of different golfers doing lots of different things in a really small location. Maybe walk down the 8th fairway and see if you can get an up close view of a golfer hitting one from the pine straw. Later in the day, work your way over to 12 tee, 13 fairway, down to 16. I've sat 2 hours under a pine tree on 17 in the afternoon resting my feet and eating those cheap pimento cheese sandwiches. Then finished the day watching golfers driving though that narrow gap on 18. If the weather's good (and it often is), it's one of the most amazing days a golf fan can experience.

OH..."YES IT IS...Thank you Mr. Jones ...TV can't do justice to beauty

Should be a gorgeous week. Most of the azaleas have already bloomed through, but still should be some color out there.

Thank you to all who responded to my question on logistics for the walk.

Much appreciated, much cutting and pasting and off it goes on the google machine.

Thumbs up!

Not part of any pool, but I do have an arrangement with a friend/client. I chose the following eight golfers, and he chose the field:

Dustin Johnson
Rory McIlroy
Jason Day
Jordan Spieth
Justin Thomas
Rickie Fowler
Jon Rahm
Hideki Matsuyama

Did I just get fleeced?

I would take that list over the field every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

With the Par 3 contest having been cancelled, everyone in the field still has a shot to win . . . . . .

Fell down a staircase today, hurting his lower back. Ouch.
