The Masters
Shite. You know how shite it is when the meeja keep going on about druggie-twat Woods. Can Tiger walk the course? Can Tiger do this? Can Tiger do that? Can Tiger cheat on his wife with the baby-sitter? Can Tiger take enough drugs to kill someone whilst driving? On and on it goes. No one gives a fuck, gettit? Mark 'Chappers' Chapman, paid-up BBC cunt talking in hushed tones about the shubbery and magnolia's of the course. No thanks mate. Ugh, it's vile advertisment of high capitalism. Golf is a fetish. I stand by that. It's weird. I have to give Simon Jordan credit because I heard him say, in so many words: I don't give a fuck about The Masters. Neither do I.

You care about it so little that you start a thread about it.

Re: The Masters
So do I. Rory four shots ahead going into the final round in 2011 and getting a triple bogey at the 10th, bogey at the 11th and double bogey at the 12th was simply magnificent viewing.
As was Sergio's win in 2017 and Tiger's in 2019.

Re: The Masters
TV companies could just set up a camera on Clapham Common and show it live for 4 hours. It's exactly the same as The Masters: men walking around. If you want a commentary by 'Chappers' you'll have to pay extra though.

Re: The Masters
My favourite memory of the Masters was Faldo-Norman on the final day of whenever it was. Highlights give no idea of how gripping it was, even for not-particularly golf-fans like me.
Once upon a time you could almost guarantee that whoever was in the lead with 9 holes to go would plummet down the order, ending up 6th, until Tiger Fucking Woods came along and took all the drama out of it. That happened less often in The Open, the other one that used to have all-day coverage free-to-air, on the BBC.

Faldo vs Hoch and Faldo vs Floyd both going to playoffs was great TV, too.JimmyDee wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:42 am My favourite memory of the Masters was Faldo-Norman on the final day of whenever it was. Highlights give no idea of how gripping it was, even for not-particularly golf-fans like me.

Hoch missed a sitter then Faldo holed a monster putt on the next hole to clinch it.
Against Floyd, Faldo got up and down from a bunker then Floyd sent it into the water on the next hole to hand Faldo the title. Faldo had balls of steel in some of those Major victories.

Understandable, now that golf is only available to golf-fans willing to pay a subscription. He's the only one most people have heard of nowadays.carcinogen wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 7:59 pm Shite. Can Tiger walk the course? Can Tiger do this? Can Tiger do that?
You can draw a comparison with boxing and Tyson Fury. When boxing was free on BBC or ITV you knew a bit about non-heavyweights and more that one boxer at that. Tyson Fury's latest Tweet gets more coverage than an actual middleweight title-fight now.
This is always going to be the problem with sports that take the Satellite Dollar, they preach to the converted.
Darts ... they used to play for a thousand pounds in front of a million people who knew who they all were, now they play for a million pounds in front of a thousand people, and no-one else has heard of any of them except for Ladolf Littler and that weird bloke in the Mohican who plays in pyjamas.
They all have to be "characters" now, to get attention from non-fans of the sport. Translation: unpleasant characters. That seems to be the modern PR trick.

Re: The Masters
Well-remembered.
A great example of the American mind-set. As I recall it, Faldo won the sudden-death play-off and was carried back to the scorers' hut in triumph, and poor old Ray was just left standing there, looking for HIS buggy. "Nah, naff off, nobody", you'll have to walk"

At least it wasn't pissing down like the year before.

Re: The Masters
That was also great, JD, it was '96. And sadly true comments about the boxing and darts on Sky v better name recognition. You can add cricket to that as well.JimmyDee wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:42 am My favourite memory of the Masters was Faldo-Norman on the final day of whenever it was.

Re: The Masters
The Masters is very much their own tournament and they do what suits best for them. They still restrict live TV coverage and you will notice no one calls the punters fans, they are all patrons. Expect retribution if you call anyone a fan.
All set up for an exciting final round. Hard to see beyond Scheffler but Augusta can bite you on the arse very easily.

Re: The Masters
When even seasoned commentators say the greens are fast this year then it must be like putting on glass
I've seen players putting AWAY from the hole before now, using a slight slope, because that's the best option.

Re: The Masters
Off at a tangent ... and just listening to it on 5Live Extra ... I never heard one shout of "Get in the hole!" Thankfully.
Has it finally dawned on them that they sound like cunts when they do that? The tee-shot on a par-five?
