Loving the golf, need more coverage tho
Won't get much more as the Masters loves to limit TV coverage so people can want more or whatever
Masters.org is very, very good though
I am also really angry with how little of it is actually shown.
It used to be worse though as a long time ago they didn't allow any tv coverage on the front 9.
And to be fair to the people at the Masters, when a feminist group threatened to boycott all the sponsors, the Masters people said Feck it, we are filthy rich anyway we will just show it commercial free. And as it is now, it is one of the least advertised sporting events in America. There are only 3 sponsors and for every hour of coverage they only show 3 minutes of commercials.

Then I see the open and those huge umbrellas and think "thank f*ck I don't play that game"
I am always amazed at how cold it is over there in the middle of July.

On the first day I remember a fella (co-commentator, think it was that anorak Ken Brown)
saying that he fancied Kenny Perry to do the biz.
And whattayaknow, he's in pole position.

So.... out of the favourites I'm going for Chad Campbell as for the lads further back but still have a chance I'm going for Tim Clarke. Apparently he won the par three warm up tournament, nobody has ever won both. Can anyone fill me in on what this par3 tourno is..? Do they play all the par 3's as a knock about or do they pay all 18 holes but turn them all into par 3's so they get an idea of aproach play and the lie of the green?
Started watching Amen Corner on BBC interactive and will be watching untill the green jacket goes on... The girlfriend has gone back up to the northwest to see her family over the weekend but I've been at work Fri, Sat and tomorrow so I'm all alonesome!

He's something stupid like 6 under after 8 holes.... Crazy.
Did you see Tigers first shot? He went nearly 100 yards left of the centre of the farway and he still made par...
