Harbourton Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Some unknown will put his name on the leaderboard at the Masters after the first day-any guesses? However, not to destroy the entertainment of the first three days and a half, the back nine on Sunday is the defining story as witnessed last year when Jordan Speith threw the tournament away by hitting two balls in the water on the short 12th hole. Also I imagine the ghost of Palmer will be haunting the grounds. Pimento sandwich is still only $1.50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unknown will shoot a 76 on the second day. Rain may be a problem on Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbelke Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'll be there on Friday. Prices are from the 80's, and I've never had a pimento cheese sandwich before. Supposed to play golf Wed and Thursday. I know Wed should be decent weather, Thursday is the iffy day, might go to the hospitality suite that day and just hang out, Friday is my day at the Masters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Speaking of weather, Thursday looks problematical, after that it looks dry, breezy and chilly (for the golf announcers), so the scores should not go low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting difference between players that believe you should play the tournament before the Masters and those that would rather practice. If I were in the mix, I would rather be in the heat of competition than playing practice rounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 The cold frontal passage has been trending faster, which might rain out the par 3 contest, but would leave the tournament itself dry. A breezy chilly start with milder weather forecast for the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrive Wed. morning, and golf Palmetto at 2 PM. Supposed to be humid and 82 degrees. Thursday is a 10 AM tee time at Cobblestone with rain in the morning and around 71 degrees, then it gets really cold on Friday at 65 degrees. Going to get a full range of weather in three days down there. Should be interesting to say the least. Shorts and polo shirt to pants and jacket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Lol, 65 to me if golfing is shorts weather. I know a difference if you are standing and watching. The coldest winters I ever experienced were the Marches I spent watching our daughter play soccer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take much for me to sweat. The goal is to take the absolute minimum and still be comfortable. I might wear shorts, but it's supposed to be in the mid 40'September in the morning. Still got a few days to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbs Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Re the GFS MOS - Here is a Georgia 06z GFS sounding for Thurs PM. Surface heating can access 50 knots so should be very gusty and cool. Friday while not as bad also will have gusty winds. I'll take the over on scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishbri74 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I like Dj, Rory. Both playing hot and bombing the ball. But Augusta is all about the putts. With windy contions first 2 days, may not see a field separate the contenders till Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Probably doesnt work, big line went thru Augusta. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/ https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=evx&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbelke Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Looking at weather for Wednesday and now it looks like the rain/storms will happen around 1 PM ET through Thursday morning. Looks like it may wipe out my Palmetto Golf Course debut and possible the Par 3 Tournament as well. The storms push through and the temps drop about 18 degrees on Thursday and Friday, but it looks clear, however could be breezy as well.

cbelke Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 What are my chances of my plane landing on time in Columbia, SC tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM ET? I'm thinking weather travel delay and possible thunderstorm around that time and rain/thunder all afternoon. Fingers and toes crossed that I can get there on time.

Rainshadow Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 These are predicted sustained winds in knots. Granted Augusta National is not an airport, but those winds (converted to mph) should easily be reached in gusts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
