<p>heard a soundbite on the radio this morning with Jack Nicklaus and his son (in the car behind) pulling into the Augusta carpark and the gist of it was 'you can park where ever you like Mr. Nicklaus, and yes your son can just follow you'</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>It was on Facebook. Every policeman and security guard were so poilte to him and basically told him that this was his place to do as he pleases.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was brilliant.</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>Yay to the first day!! All the right names where you want to see them!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fowler had a howler but</p>

[barbarian]

<p>How about Els on the first hole? Never seen ANYTHING like it, especially from such a big name at a major.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So bizarre, and indicitive of some mental issues. He did something similar at the Open a few years ago, on the first hole as well IIRC.</p>

<p>I've been doing a bit of work with Ernie on his putting of late - I heard he had the yips so offered some advice...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That amounted to watching Happy Gilmore so no idea why he choked so hard!!! C'mon Ernie, it's all in the hips bro!!</p>

[Paekakboyz]

<p>Yep, 7 puts for a 10 shot hole. Doh!</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>Not all that hard to find then....</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>WOW!</p>

<p>Ouch! Day Triples the 16th!</p>

[JK]

<p>Day not coming home well. bogey, then a triple on 16.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very good first round from Danny today. -4 and in the club house. Well done son!</p>

[JK]

<p>That masters website is dam good. The shot tracking on there is excellent.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>woohoo, I have had a 6 putt before (the fact I was even par after 9, putting for a 12 ft bird straight downhill sucks even more)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love the Masters!</p>

[booboo]

Ernie! WTF?

[mariner4life]

<p>if Danny is still a kiwi, then, that's awesome mate! well done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If he's korean, then meh, what ever. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know it's only the first round, but after last year, Speith alone at the top by a couple of shots looks ominous. </p>
