    Wondering?

    Is it just me or does this years Masters seem a little "lack-luster"? I have seen a few moments but I sense something is missing--even in the tone of he commentators.
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    Only one of the big boys is playing well (FIGJAM) but it will get more interesting with the weather forcast for today, rain and high winds!

    The first two days are always sort of ho-hum because there are a lot more players being covered who won't be making the cut but get air time anyway.

    It should get interesting today.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    What I haven't seen so much of, is really wild tee shots with incredible recovery shots. That sort of thing is what I find makes it much more fun. There have been some but few and far between. Just nothing very spectacular yet.

    I thought Tigers 3rd shot on 18 yesterday was incredible.... if his ball would not have hit the ball already on the green when it spun back, it might well have been a tap in instead of a 5 foot putt

    Maybe the over coverage of the non-leaders is to blame. I like the online live shots from 'Amen Corner' on

    www.mastersgolf.ca


    But is anyone else finding the audio stream way off the video?

    Once Tiger gets to the top of the leaderboard, then excitement will pick up.

    Some of us hope this doesn't happen. Then all we'll see if Woods

    I must be watching a different tournament. I have seen plenty of great shots. Poulter's ace, some great shots into the greens. Phil's birdie putt from way off the green on #1 on Thursday. Zach's shot into 13 yesterday. Last year he never went for a Par 5 in two. He went for 13 in two yesterday hit a great shot from 235 yards.

    Lots of roars from the patrons. At least the during the time I have watched.
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

    There were some good shots on day 2 at the Masters but the weekend is where it always gets interesting especially if the wind blows. Look at Miguel Angel Jimenez who's first off today already -2 for the day and playing by himself.

    I thought the coverage was great as opposed to the Tiger show we usually get.

    Well, the boys were putting on quite a show at the end there I thought that Immelman was looking very Tiger like. Seemed to have his stance and stare.
