Masters’ Leftovers
John Feinstein lets us know that “Golf Will Survive without a Major from Woods.”
Trevor Immelman does the Top 10 on The Late Show with David Letterman:
Geoff Shackelford excerpts from Golf World and The Times highlighting that the general consensus is that Augusta National “has become all about playing defensively and minimizing damage.”
My two cents — The Masters is boring now. There’s no movement. There are far too few opportunities on the back nine to perpetuate the foregone fact and now legend that “it all comes down to the back nine on Sunday at the Masters.”
Jay Coffin brags of his round at Augusta National on Monday after the Masters.
Patricia of Golf Girl’s Diary shares Brandt Snedeker’s snicker’s cocktail.
Golf Digest’s Bill Fields wraps up pretty much everything else having to do with this years’ Masters.
Geoff Shackelford excerpts Steve Elling’s “There’s more scoring in soccer.”
Seems like if the Masters wants to remain the April darling that it always was, something needs to change — fast. It’s nice to see the little guys win every so often, but not every year at the Masters. And certainly not without a heroic battle on the back nine of Augusta National.
