Masters Par Three Round

Don't know if anyone else is interested, but the Masters par three is a long standing tradition. Many tournaments have this sort of thing on Wednesday where tour pros play with sponsors and whatnot. In the Masters version, it's just the players in threesomes, with their kids(or whoever they choose) as caddies. There's no cash prize and goofing around is encouraged.

It's really great to see all of the little kids wearing the Masters uniform, and all of the players just having a good time with their families. It's actually more difficult to get this ticket than the actual tournament. The field is also not composed of just the guys in the formal Thurs-Sunday tourney, but selected veterans / players with a connection to the Masters.

Anyway - this year, Arnie, Player, and Nicklaus are playing in the same group.

Good stuff, good stuff. I hope some other brewers are enjoying this as much as me. You can get it live on ESPN 360 if you're online.

Just wanted to add that Phil Mickelson is f$cking HIGH. Dude needs some eyedrops BIG TIME. Although his kid just dropped a 2 footer.

Sigh. I guess I am the only golf nerd here.

This is really good stuff! The interview with Jim Furyk's daughter was awesome.

Zach Johnson's daughter/dad putting out about made me cry.

If I was home, I'd watch it. Unfortunately, I'm still at lab...

No dude, I'm just stoked you're here...!

Stenson just hit it w/in 1 inch.

Goddamn I love this tourney. Watching right now and Ian Baker Finch said it is the best golf course in the world.

Shall I continue to give you updates?

I'll be away from the internet pretty soon, but thanks. I wonder why it took so long for them to start televising it.

I'm just glad that someone else cares! Right on...

Wow, the Palmer, Player, and Nicklaus threesome was really something special! Especially their tee shots on the last hole. Close, Closer, and almost an ace!

All the holes-in-one that those tour guys are hitting make the one I hit last week seem pretty insignificant. This really makes me want to go and play. I gotta call my buddy that lives in Augusta and see if he went. Thanks for starting this thread.

Thanks for showing up and welcome to HBT.
Yeah! Congrats! I have been playing for 20+ years and have never dunked one. It looks about 70 in Augusta right now - 45 here.

Golf is a great sport.

Yeah, I started playing less than 5 years ago, so I know how lucky it was to have already aced one... My dad was happy for me, but a little jealous b/c he's never hit one. Anyways, yes, golf is a great sport. I wonder who's gonna win the tournament this weekend? I hope someone besides Tiger. He's just too effing good. And he doesn't show up for anything but Majors. Nothing against the guy.

I love golf and the Masters, but I don't get that channel. I went out about 2 weeks ago and shot 98. It was so nice to get back out there for the season opener. On a side note, I used to work at the course linked below. Tiger said the par 3 course there was actually better than the par 3 at Augusta...

You're not the only golf nerd here...I'm a 12 Index atm and dropping. I've also spent the better part of the last 18 months writing software for GPS devices for golfers.
