bring a cooler of beer and that's probably pretty fun.

what isn't better with a cooler full of beer?

If anyone isn't watching the Honda Classic right now you really need to turn it on.

Holy shtein.  This is freaking crazy.

Tiger underwent surgery for a pinched nerve and will not play in The Masters

Damn.

Hopefully this gets him right

[ice grillin you]

ill be missing the masters too

[phattymatty]

i love the masters. always ends up being on the first really nice weekend of the year. outside drinking time.

I saw Rovell tweet that the cheapest 4 day pass was $4k...

We have some businesses down that way and was hoping to go next year to check it out....so people really pay that kind of $$ to get in there?

[Don Ho]

$4K!  Are you kidding me?  Holy crap.  Ex-coworker of mine went years ago and said it was awesome.  Of course everything was comped so I don't see how he couldn't enjoy it.  No Tiger will be interesting. Yes it's the Masters but no Tiger takes a lot of wind out of the sails.

4k is nothing to rich white republicans, which is golfs audience

4k is nothing to rich white republicans, which is golfs audience

yeah exactly....racist women hating backwoods dreck....who the farg would give money to them much less 4k to go on their despicable course

augusta is an amazing place and the masters is the crown jewel of the sport.   but sure, it's for racist republicans only.  it's not like anyone else would have any interest.   not in the binary world of igytodd.

actually, i would expect havas not to have any interest because (1) it's outdoors, (2) playing rap music during the event isn't permitted, and (3) there's actual walking from place to place required when you attend, sometimes up and down hills even, but it does surprise me that todd wouldn't be interested.  you know, with it being one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and him being a "sports writer" and all.

ah well... let's eat cake.

[MDS]

never said i didnt have interest, but i dont. golf is not my thing. its boring and im not really into it, save for tiger making a run at a major.

but you can go if you want, buddy

and golfs audience is almost exclusively old and rich. poling data shows old + rich = republican, by and large. there are numerous other examples of that, namely the sport turning on tiger because he banged some skanky perkins waitresses.

[ice grillin you]

if it werent for the masters and the money it brings....augusta would still only allow white men in their club....FACT

which is probably why they welcome romeys supports with arms open

[Rome]

that doesn't even remotely make sense.

i'm a white northeastern liberal with borderline socialistic leanings.  and i love the sport.  admittedly i'm an enigma wrapped in a riddle, but still... stop making asinine assumptions about things you know less than nothing about.   it's embarrassing.

I like to golf and am pissed I can't play because of my foot. Weather has been fantastic here.

theres no doubt you have a libveral streak in you...but you also have a lot of elder white inside too....an enigma indeed

also i dont hate the sport golf..much less hate it because its white....theres a difference between a country club and golf....actually play a city course and theres a lot of color on it....i specifically hate augusta and the suckling of the masters
