The MASTERS!!

T-minus 10 minutes

I miss the controversy year where they telecast every single minute of the Masters, commercial free....

I would even take the commercials if they showed it all

Ahhh my hometown. I miss seeing celebs.

Although you can see quite a bit of it online now. I like watching the range coverage too. It's amazing how accurate these guys are.

Cool graphics for the "Leaderboard" this year.

Last year at work they blocked the site because so many people had the live streaming going that it slowed down the computer system.

Congratulations to Phil Mickleson and good luck in defending your Masters win from last year.

I am a Marshalling hole Captain for the Shell Houston Open and was at the tournament for all five days last week as Phil won. I was on the 18th green when he finished and was invited to stay on the green for the awards presentation. Got to meet and shake hands with Phil and can honestly say he was a little emotional after the win. Houston has become a special place for him and his family because both his wife and mother were treated for breast cancer at MD Anderson in Houston. Last year the Oncologist who treated his wife and mother actually caddied for several holes for him while Bones took a rest. This year the Oncologist and several of his staff followed Phil for two days of the tournament rooting him on.

I was really glad to see him win in Houston and it was obvious from his reaction that he was pretty touched by it as well.

I'm twitching at work, wishing I could watch the Masters instead. I have my DVR set to start recording the ESPN coverage at 3 so I can watch it when I get home. And I can't wait to play with the DirecTV Masters Mix channel with the 6 screens. I'm hoping the iPhone streaming video will start soon as I will pull that up and watch while working...

I'm also wearing green today. Anyone else?

I enjoy playing golf, but seriously watching it on TV? I hear they will be painting on the HG channel and watching it dry. Now that is some exciting entertainment.

Seriously, I'll probably watch about 15 minutes of it. I can't believe that people do actually get into watching it though. Its just not a sport that is conducive to TV IMO, but obviously there are tons of people that disagree.

I mainly watch in hopes of an X-Tiger lover storming onto the course and causing some kind of scene. Now that would be worth a ticket.

I enjoy watching it on tv because it is truly amazing to watch how skilled these players are. They make it look so dang easy but it is not. If you watch most amateur's on the driving range they get their balls to go in the general direction of where they want them to be but the pro's can pretty much tell you that their ball is going to hit the center of the zero on the 200 yard sign and they DO. The rest of us are happy if it lands somewhere in the vicinity of the sign.

Oh yeah, if its a Par 4, I get excited if I make it on the green first shot. I'm getting better, but its probably the hardest sport I've ever tried. I still shank half the time.

Man, Quiros can hit.

Man, Quiros can hit.

We followed him for a few holes at Firestone, OH MY dude is freakish off the tee. V-Jay & another player were on the green at 17 & turned around & started laughing when they saw where Quiros ball landed behind them.
