The US Masters

Does anyone know any dodgy Masters links that they can PM to me? Cheers.

Not without downloading some dodgy software & even then couldn't be sure it would work.

As info to my Indian friends who do not know; Jeev Milkha Singh will be playing the two qualifying rounds with Tiger Woods. Probably the first time he'll get a lot of publicity on the international circuit.

Does anyone know which channel will be showing Augusta in India?

Get on Nick Watney at 40s.

The Tiger Woods threesome after the first 18 holes:

Stuart Cink -3
Tiger Woods -2
Jeev Milkha Singh -1

Both Woods and Milkha bogeyed the last hole. Milkha, who earlier had an eagle on a par five, drove into the bush but retrieved well on to the green-fringe only to chip and two-putt from 3 yards and Woods loused it up after a 315 drive, straight down the fairway, then over-ironing into the crowd behind the green. Awful retrieval and a two-putt. The leader is 4 strokes ahead of Cink. Can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

Go Shark!

Snorfle!

And for anyone after video, there's some on offer through the Masters website. Not dodgy at all, but not every hole.

FFS - missed the cut by 2 after a double bogey on the 13th.

no great surprise. Should have put a pineapple on it.

Here's a question, when did The Shark jump the shark?

Masters 1996.


He was never the same player again.

I thought Jack was the Golden bear.

??? relevence???

I misread the reference from JGK as 86'.

Mea culpa.

Ah. Fair enough.

Still unsure about the'96 ref though?

That would be when The Shark jumped the shark. The famous one where he had an unassailable lead going in to the final round. Only to suffer the uberchoke and hand the title to Faldo.

Yeah but 'shark' or is that generic?

'jumped the shark' - the point of being in inexorable decline, derived from the Happy Days episode where Fonzie jumped over a shark on his motorcycle.

Aaaah!

I had to look twice. At first I read "mia culpa", which is slang for something totally different.

Some oldies perpetually remain the talk of the town. Chris Evert seems to have revived him though.

One of the good things about golf is that time isn't quite so treacherous as in most sports.

Gary Player played his 50th and last masters this year. He was already one of the greats when i first saw golf on TV in the early 60s.

After double-bogeying the 13th and bogeying the 14th, I guess the Shark is well and truly out of the Masters. Pity. He never really came back after Larry Mize won the Masters, way back when (must have been mid-eighties), holing the 18th with a 30 yard chip. Mize won it on the last hole although, going into it, the Shark led by 2 strokes. Greg's jaw dropped and I think he has never won a major since.
