There is more rain predicted overnight I think as well.Yeah, how lush is Augusta ?
Hopefully Scotty keeps playing well
My old man's cancer is in remission. He's a golf nut (turns 70 this year) and i keep trying to encourage him to go over and check it out next year. I hope he does it.Loving Day and Scott. Also Tiger, wherever he goes atmosphere follows.
Augusta looking amazing as usual too.
How could anyone hate golf!
It’s on my list that’s for sure.My old man's cancer is in remission. He's a golf nut (turns 70 this year) and i keep trying to encourage him to go over and check it out next year. I hope he does it.
In 2003, I was driving past Augusta and thought i'd drive in to check it out (ok, a bit naive). Was stopped by a security guard. I could just see the that garden out the front of the Clubhouse.
it really is a special course.
Yeah, I got up around 6 hoping to catch the end. Nup.They rkn it will be fi I shed by 5am our time @CroydonDog
Adducci, who has $25,000 in debt on a mortgage, student loans and car loans, flew to Las Vegas and threw down an $85,000 bet on Woods last Tuesday.
I have a $400K mortgage and have also have more than that guy bet "floating around" in cash.Adducci, who has $25,000 in debt on a mortgage, student loans and car loans, flew to Las Vegas and threw down an $85,000 bet on Woods last Tuesday.
The wager was “everything I had that I could afford to lose,” Adducci told Golf Digest. “I just thought it was predestined for him to win.”

Why do I not believe everything about this story? If he had $25k mortgage, student and car loans, how did he manage to have $85k spare floating around... suddenly.
If you had that money you'd pay off the mortgage and loans.
Also who would bet $85k and know that would financially ruin them if they lost.
Sounds like one of those "blah blah wont $8 million on a Lucky Lotteries scratchie" stories.
So you reckon he's thrown caution to the wind and just gone in with everything he had?I have a $400K mortgage and have also have more than that guy bet "floating around" in cash.
(Having said that i'm not going to gamble it all).
I've also seen people, on the verge of bankruptcy, think "in for a penny on for a pound", and just go nuts for a few weeks before declaring. There is no difference to going bankrupt with a million dollars in debts or $100k. (some more dubious bankruptcy trustees even encourage it).
