Master's Leaderboard
 

Who do you think's gonna end up on top of the leaderboard at Augusta this year?

I personally think you'll see the regular names up there (Mickelson and Woods), but I think some of these hot "new generation" players could make a run at it like Joe Ogilvie and Adam Scott. I personally think it is Ernies time to wear the green jacket (he is definitely due)...but I thought that about Norman for many years as well.

Hopefully the weather will improve next week...just noticed the first round has been pushed back for the Bell South Classic. Been a miserable year weatherwise for the players so far this year.

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone who is working with an AI slip on the green jacket? Not sure who WILL win, but pulling for someone like Kenny Perry---seems like a regular guy. And works with Ron Gring GSED.

I don't think we will see Tiger Woods on top of the leader board on Sunday.

Green Jackets For Instructors
 

Ron Gring is attending our Master Class :D at Old Waverly Golf Club on the 18th http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=770 . Do they make Green Jackets for World Class Instructors?

If they do start giving out green jackets for World Class instruction then you, Yoda, will be in that line as well. Trust me.

I agree and as hard as it is for me to post this i don't believe he'll post a top 10 either.

Maybe he will and prove me wrong but it will be sheer determination if he does.

I'd look out for Adam Scott

mikestloc,
Thanks for the inside info. One thing for certain, there is always someone out there in cyberspace who knows the truth! I happened to see a thing on the PGA website with Ron Gring reviewing Kenny Perry's swing and Ron has him listed as 1 of his students, so I thought........
Anyway, if either he or Tom's wins I'll be happy ---both have had at least some TGM connection ! Agree with 2 other posts---doubt Tiger will be anywhere close to the lead. In fact, I'm predicting he DOESN'T MAKE THE CUT. You heard it here first. Later, Dr Dave

Masters pick
 

My pick is Ernie Els.

Right now masters.org has live tx from the practice tee.

I'm taking
 

Ernie this year. I know a stretch. A somewhat of a darkhorse is jose maria. I know he's a Master's winner, but what has he done for me lately.

My pick is Sergio this year...................

I'd love to see Wittenberg do well again this year. Some great playing in his first Masters.

I wouldn't rule out someone like Couples either - but if the rains come in Ernie and VJ -

Wittenberg
 

Wittenberg comes across as a complete jerk. I hope his attitude changes in that regard.

Re: Wittenberg
 

Unfortunate that can be the case with rising stars, I haven't seen much on him other than some on course coverage. Bummer to hear that he isn't a gentleman.

I can tell you that up here in Pittsburgh he(Wittenberg) and his family left a very bad impression with almost everyone they came in contact with at the U.S. Amateur at Oakmont. Heard some really obnoxious stuff ---won't go into it here. If anyone has a burning desire feel free to PM or email me. He is one of the few people I actually root against. That's enough negativity for now----back to work! Dave

Re: Wittenberg
 

Wittenberg was in the field at the TOUR's U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee last summer when I was caddying. I was down by the caddy area, grabbing a sandwich, and Wittenberg's caddy was also down there with the bag and was talking to Casey. As far as I can remember, Casey was either bossing him around pretty badly or blaming him for something. On top of that, I believe he was complaining about how bad his caddy was the other week or something. I don't think I saw Casey make a facial expression during this little exchange.

Whatever it was, he looked like a completely stuck-up little kid. Of course all the players 'officially' wish him well but not very many like his attitude. When you ask them they'll sometimes just shrug or say something neutral. But very few of them enjoy having what they see as 'kids' running around on Tour.

Given that kind of feedback, I take back my earlier comments!

Life is too short for that kind of B.S.


If you are lucky enough to play a game for a living, the least you should do is realize just how lucky you are. Respect is earned, and not demanded!

But I guess some still haven't figured out the 'golden rule'......

I'd love to see Zach Johnson do well, he sure can putt! I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Ames do well too.
