Masters 2016

Might as well start it early. Schwartzel's got to be the early favourite for this.

He's a great chance. Lots of players in form.

Frighteningly the Blubber is in form.

Looks like it will be a great tournament.

Schwatzel, Scott and Bubba are all in good form and obviously each has won the Green before.

So Rory it is.

Thanks Mr K

Have now revised my plan to invest on Rory.

Let's be honest, though. We all know Westwood is breaking his major duck after making the first cut of his season

Hahaha. Where is Montgomery? Oh yeah had forgotten that he resides in Michelson's man boobs.

Aside from his bollocks as a commentator and moob love, he's playing the senior tour. That too with decent success.

Good times, just realised I have a three day weekend next week.

On the 15th hole during the final round, Mize is forced to make a drop near a water hazard, but fails to perform the drop from shoulder height, as demanded by the laws of the sport.

“A ball to be dropped under the Rules must be dropped by the player himself,” Law 20, section 2, of the laws of golf states.
“He must stand erect, hold the ball at shoulder height and arm’s length and drop it. If a ball is dropped by any other person or in any other manner and the error is not corrected as provided in Rule 20-6, the player incurs a penalty of one stroke.”

A video shared on Tuesday by Australian Golf Magazine on Facebook shows Mize failing to perform the drop from shoulder height.

The television broadcast actually captured the moment Mize also appeared to improperly mark the lie of his ball before the drop and gained an unfair advantage by dropping nearer to the pin than his original lie.

Norman is partly a legend because of his Masters losses.

This adds to the lustre.

My roughie would be Tony Finau.

Correction- He WOULD have been my roughie...if he was playing.

Your Trevving powers are awesome.

Well, my updated roughie is Hideki Matsuyama. He IS playing.

Still 3 days to go - he will probably knock himself out from a ball rebounding off a tree in the Par 3 tournament.

or the sadly wheelchair bound Arnie will run him over.

Meanwhile, apparently* Faldo has been named as a client in the Panama Papers.

Are you a client?

The Panama Papers are no surprise. that's capitalism. I see The Iceland leader has resigned and deCameron is in strife.

But these are really sideshows, like other celebs like Pat Rafter who have long had tax havens.

A pox on them on them all.

I'd be surprised if Turnbull (or his wife) isn't on the list as well. In fact Labour brought up his offshore investments a few months ago. If it's not illegal, then I don't see the problem. Change the laws if it's such an issue.

But at the end of the day, the world economy needs rich people to spend.

No - capitalism relies on the rule of law so everyone has certainty with how they conduct their businesses. The Panama Papers show blatant criminal activity.

Henry - Turnbull won't appear - he is is not a tax avoider. There is nothing wrong with holding investments in a tax haven if you live in a country that taxes residents on their global income. In fact, it means that more tax is paid in Australia. The Panama Papers show the insidiousness of bank secrecy combined with tax havens, not tax havens per se. In Turnbull's case, his investments are disclosed so it's problem.

poor people pay tax....these farkers do not.
the contempt I feel for these rich folk knows no bounds.

Have just had about had enough of life

"The biggest taxpayer among the large private companies was Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting, which paid $466 million from $2.85 billion in revenue" - ATO

So about 17%.

on revenue ...

she is allowed expenses (like accountants fees)
