US Masters Golf from Augusta National Golf Club

The Irish car test is the NCT so it took me a while to get what you meant. Then I realised British people use the term ‘MOT’.

You’re culturally ignorant.

Has Sergio touched the amateur player’s leg a few times the weird cunt?

I’ve just read the last 300 posts, not knowing who won.

I’m now crying with joy for Sergio, I’m crying with sadness that I missed it, I’m crying with sadness that I missed Peter Alliss commentating on it, in what is almost certainly his final time commentating on the United States Masters.

I’m crying that I missed the greatest way for the great man to sign off as the greatest player to never win a major finally does win one.

I’m crying that I missed it all, but I’m crying that it happened.

You little beauty.

Everything ok besides Sid?

Ah lovely.

Golf weirdos :joy:

Fucking Speith cost me €150 quid in a golf predictor thing at work. One less shot and I’d have won it.

There will be an asterix beside Garcia’s name in the roll of honour.

Dustin would have pissed up if his affair with Mrs Jimmy Walker hadn’t been discovered.

Go on…

I’m told it was “personal issues” which forced his decision to pull out (ahem).

When I delved further, i was told of the above story.

I’m happy to go with it.

Wasnt that thing years ago though?

Yes

I’ve no idea. First I heard of it

2014

Having missed all the action on Sunday, I’m reliving it for the first time on the BBC iPlayer at the moment and am currently almost three hours through the 6 hours and 29 minutes of the broadcast.

Lovely bit of commentary from Andrew Cotter just after Sergio finished the sixth hole where the BBC placed a graphic on screen of the previous champions from Spain. Cotter referred to Jose-Maria Olazabal’s triumph in 1994 as a real oasis in all sorts of troubles for him. Lovely juxtaposition with Manchester’s finest as Oasis released their first single, Supersonic, the very next day. Oasis could almost have written their third single “Live Forever” about the other former Spanish champion, the late, great Seve Ballesteros.

Peter Alliss’s comment after 47 minutes of the broadcast, comparing the greenkeepers (then in the process of having to unexpectedly change the position of one of the holes after it had been damaged by some chap hitting a direct bullseye from way out on the fairway) to master chefs who “add a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a pinch of paprika, gas mark six for half an hour” is a perfect example of why we all pay the licence fee to fund our beloved national broadcaster, the BBC. Wonderful comic relief from the master commentator.

I think I’ll watch another hour and then leave the rest for tomorrow evening as an Easter Sunday treat.

I retired after the 11th hole last night.

Can’t wait for tonight, starting with the par 3 12th.

Peter Alliss’s quips about “the Augusta wind” and how Rosey could play the flute with his putting grip really had me chuckling.

Is he still riding Wayne Gretzkys daughter?
