why is a hole in one more likely on the last day? i can't imagine the stats backing that up...

I don't know the stats on it but I'm quite sure the pin position on the 16th on the last day is pretty much in a bowl that gathers towards the hole to bring a bit of excitement to the finish. Basically you hit the green and your rolling towards the hole! A couple of years back I think there was two within a couple of groups. Some stato may have the real stats on it though.

So if the odds are right out at 80s with only 40 people to play it ill be looking for a 2 pound back. Already been a few ones in practice though I think this week so this market could be done and dusted. Got Van Pelt as my banker anyway!

Speak of the devil my banker at the 16th! I honestly didn't know he had bagged one but here it is and will give an idea of the pin traditionally http://youtu.be/3nQ4Wcsy4is

Another thing to watch out for. Apparantly the tree that was pretty big stuck in the middle of the fairway of the 17th has been taken out.

Augusta is in a league of its own. Old school.
I think they didn't let women play there until very recent and that was just because some bird was CEO of a major sponsor if I remember correct so they let her join as a member. The boy just hadn't done his homework.

There are places near where I live where women are not allowed in.
The social club where I play snooker didn't allow women in till 12 months ago.
My Missus was disgusted. I said well they do allow women in at Christmas. She said "Well its a start" :twisted:
I replied "They are allowed to bring the sandwiches in for the lads!"

PS They are still not allowed on the tables

Sounds like the perfect arrangement. I suspect they are also allowed in with a hoover, a duster and a can Mr Sheen and maybe even behind the bar.
I bet you there are more places were men are excluded, if not explicitly then by social convention.
Speaking of which, the other day I was in the gents in the local supermarket and a woman bold as brass walked and went into one of the cubicles. Whether the ladies convenience was closed or out of order, I do not know, she did not explain, she just gave me that look which said "Do you dare challenge my right to use this convenience?" Needless to say I didn't.

Meanwhile, the Masters, I am a Tiger layer, so I am a bit stuck this year.

I just wondered what other opinions were on trading this..
It seems to be a different experience than last year, it almost feels like we have a slight advantage interns of the delay?
I was just trading Phil Mickelson there and i was just trading according to what I could see on the screen..and it was as if the market was ever so slightly behind?

Great putt by Leftie.

Not sure on the delay, I didn't make any notes on last year. I know they are strict on phones etc so maybe no greensiders.

Very Strange.
I dutched (and traded Angel separately)
I was just attempting to reduce my liabilities on the better ranked players and done great this evening.Looking forward to the cut!
Just did it again on lee Westwood, only making 4 or 5 ticks, but it adds up at those odds..
