I gotta agree with gales. Now I'm not greenskeeper, so I don't know how much of this is due to the cold weather and how much of it is due to Augusta National, but whatever the blame, this Masters is lacking everything that has made it what it is. I don't have a problem when the USGA forces accuracy off the tee in U.S. Opens or makes the greens the fastest of the year, because good shots get rewarded. Now are there some times where it doesn't work out? sure. But this years Masters is not only the worst Masters I can remember, it may be the worst major I can remember. These guys are flat out afraid to hit the ball. I don't know about anyone else, but I damn sure don't want to see the world's best avg 78 on moving day of a major. Hell we could get that in the 3rd round of the Derby Trail Invitational. Not a whole lot to say other than a major dissappointment for an event I look forward to watching every year.
