"New Hampshire is full of people who think for themselves and don't like being told what to do." - @PeteButtigieg (this checks out)

@TronCarterNLU What I CAN tell you is that Maybach is a Champion Partner of the Masters. And this blind guy is still watching his grandson play golf

Wait, Burns just Icarito’d the green on 2 with his FOURTH SHOT and we haven’t seen what happened or been provided with any context? What is going on?

@tylermilliken_ "Yeah we definitely dont want this guy calling games anymore..."

My brain was fully convinced for a second that Don Orsillo was about to drop a holy shit on the mic 😭

@ChampChaz02 220k TCs in one night? Ball knower...

I done this on purpose to annoy people on here. They seem to have a real problem with it and b*tch in the comments. Talking about denoms and RTP percentages. Real Gamblers Gamble Period. I am still waiting to see a post from these statistical outcome obsessives where they won big, can anyone show me one? Here is some stats. I walked into the Bellagio with $300 cash and a 6.2k freeplay offer and a comped Penthouse, I woke up with 12.9k in cash, still in a Penthouse and racked 220k tier points in one night. So dont be worrying about RTP and just RTB (return to moms basement)

@acaseofthegolf1 😂😂😂

@PMT703 You’re gone.

This may cost me any hope of ever getting a credential, so will be deleting this later. But the Masters app has not been great the last couple of years. Player mix-ups, shots missed, holes finished but no shots. Everything is always so perfect with the Masters, that it’s a surprise when something isn’t.

@Dude_Abiding_ @bean020707 @EPatGolf Maybe not but I watched him after he played Monday pounding drivers at the range until almost dark and then chipped about 100 balls.

@bean020707 @EPatGolf My man is no longer a spring chicken.

gotta know if Vijay was late for his tee time this morning. 8 warm-up shots, none longer than 200 yards? extremely unlike him

@Hawksian @jamierkennedy I know, I did it at the Ryder Cup in Rome. Difference is, there, you can see a fleet of trucks. At Augusta it’s…a big magic show.

@PMT703 @jamierkennedy You can do that at the U.S. Open, Open and PGA as well.

Observations from Wednesday at Augusta... 1. I’ve been asking people to guess what percentage of the fans on-site are wearing AT LEAST one item of Masters clothing. I think it’s 64 percent. Mad when you think it’s only on sale here. 2. Also wild you can immediately ship all your shopping home. Asked one woman, she said she just dropped off three large bags and a gnome to be shipped by to New York. Cost $100 and will be there before she gets home on Friday. 3. Augusta is very calm and oddly quiet. Players don’t get cheers or claps (unless they do something silly good) and there's not a lot of fan interaction. Even arriving on tees, it’s eerily quiet. 4. The 7th green is nuts. Wide but narrow, tonnes of movement. It's like a kids skatepark. Probably the green I've seen the players studying the closest. 5. The practice area is an underrated viewing spot. The range is obviously insanely beautiful but there’s interesting shots, loads of players, putting green, two chipping areas. 6. Watched Lowry hit a high, driver cut over the trees on 10. Can’t imagine that’s the play but wow, what a shot to see in person. 7. Never been to the par 3 contest before. Went today. First shot I saw was an ace. Thanks Keegan. 8. Morikawa is not healthy. Surprised he’s going to play honestly, watching him stretch and wince with his injured back. 9. There should 100% be an “overheard at Augusta” Twitter account. It would be an incredible follow this week. My favourite so far was a guy immediately regretting his spend in the shop. A guy near him asked how much he spent? He said “more than you think”, the other guy responded “Well I spent $3,500”, to which the regretful guy replied “double it”.

@BeatinTheBookie Followed him Monday, he didn’t even take a full swing, just chipping and walking around.

Morikawa, who is injured, has yet to hit a ball over 284 yards on the range this week. I have serious doubts that he plays the Masters.

@jayochoa84 No kidding the only downside of those loft rooms is that the Maverick sightseeing flights seem just about at room level LOL

I select the penthouse suite and go back to look at other rooms and this bad boy pops up. But it doesn’t if I clear my cart!! WHY ARE YOU HIDING THIS FROM ME!!!

@LouStagner What % of those tee shots were at Kapalua?

I just looked at last ~5.5 years of tour data. ▶️1.72% of tee shots went 350+ yards There were 1143 distinct holes in this data set. Of the tee shots that went 350+ yards, ~33% of those shots come from only 20 of those 1143 holes. The tee shots that are 350+ yards tend to happen on holes where there is some combo of downhill, downwind, firm fairways, or playing at high elevation making it easy to hit it a lot longer than normal. ▶️9.81% went 325+ yards ▶️36.89% went less than 280 yards Most of the 350+ yard tee shots at Augusta happen on the 2nd hole and the 9th hole. Over 80% of the tee shots hit 350+ at Augusta are on these two holes. Both those holes play downhill a lot.

@GolfweekNichols Looks like a great haul but she went to Walmart and bought a suitcase rather than use the UPS stop - which I think was the easiest and quickest thing on property this week?

Rose Zhang had to buy a suitcase from Walmart to take home all her Masters gear. The 2023 Augusta National Women's Amateur champion, and recent Stanford graduate, went on a rare shopping spree this week during the Masters Tournament. The 22-year-old two-time LPGA winner took to Instagram to reveal her haul. "Did I break my break? Yes," she said. "Did I think it was worth it? Yes." golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/g…

@JoelMBeall Heard multiple groups of drunk guys yelling at players on Monday during the practice round that they had money on them this week, or thanking Cam Young for winning them money at the Players - just absolute loser behavior.

The Masters has radically changed over the last decade —gnomes, celebrities, sticky social content—to reach new, wider audiences. But can the Masters be everything for everyone without losing what it is? golfdigest.com/story/masters-…

@PaulHodowanic Followed them most of that 9, didn't see him take one full swing.

More color on Morikawa… he played the back nine with Scottie, Cam Young and Sam Burns. Morikawa was really just chipping and putting. Didn’t even hit a tee ball on the 16th, for example.

@JoshACarpenter @golfweek Honestly it...wasn't great. I wanted it to be great but you need a chain saw to get through the caramel.

There’s a new candy bar on the menu at Augusta National this year, per @golfweek golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/g…

@_DavidRumsey @FOS @FOS_News_ @TheMasters Honestly thought it really missed the mark, the only thing I didn't love all day. Flavor combo was there but there was so much caramel and it was SO hard that it was impossible to eat. Saw a lot of people tossing uneaten ones. So close too.

From Augusta in this afternoon's edition of The Memo newsletter @FOS ⬇️ A little behind-the-scenes on this year's new concession item: The Masters Candy Bar.

@JS_803 And sorry not sorry but being "open" one week a year for 1000-1500/nt doesn't count either LOL.

I’m so tired of this narrative….. Aiken does have phenomenal golf. But only if you’re in the top 2% or have phenomenal connections to get on. Stop making it seem like Aiken is a place for all people to enjoy the game of golf. AGC is as far as the average person can get.

@SweetAsAPeach93 The last two years we paid 1200/nt for a 2br Airbnb across the street from the course. Still a bargain IMO

Welcome to Augusta. This weekend at a basic, sketchy location hotel, vs the next weekend.

@EBJunkies It looked worse in person yesterday and he got cheered when he took it off.

Some of Malbon's stuff is fine. This is just hot garbage. No other answer is appropriate.

@heyjudeworld @TheMasters I still need to know from people yesterday hauling 4 and 5 giant bags around all day - why is that not getting shipped?

My guilty pleasure during @TheMasters week? Watching everyone on social media and golf media try to one up everyone else with the best merch haul, Masters memory, photo, autograph, story, etc. It’s hilarious. And at some point this week, I will 1000% join in on the fun ⛳️😎🌸🤷‍♀️🫶💗 #TheMasters #Augusta
