It's a little early for this but what the hell. I am sure it will be a popular thread when we figure out what will happen with past champions and LIV players. No big surprise here but just the latest on the new tee for #13. Going to make this a very interesting hole.

Also not a new story but big changes for the Par 3 course as well.

Is 35 yds really adding anything for these pros?

Interested to see it in action

It's never too early to start talking about the Masters.

Did you see where Adam Scott's phone went off at a press conference in Australia this week and his ring tone is the Masters theme music? :lol:

Sure. That's the difference between a 7 iron and a 5 iron. Just like the rest of us they like short irons better.

It's something. Probably adds at least two clubs into the green for most guys. Looks like there is even more room to push them back if needed. I think it is a great first step without going bananas and pushing them back 60. Nothing happens fast at Augusta except actual construction. There is no way for a fan to get back there so other than what we will see on TV it is hard to tell how difficult or "fair" that tee shot is going to be.

For that hole, I don't think the idea is to just add on 30 or 40 yards. I think its more of a change in that some/most of the guys aren't going to be able to cut the corner and will now have to hit a straighter drive which will result in- as Franky mentioned- a longer club for their second shot. Having to play it straight also likely results in more shots into the pine straw will will lead to more layups and/or more difficult seconds.

I'm fine with that. It will make it more interesting that's for sure.

Quote:
Scott Stallings received an invitation to the Masters, and the Georgia resident most likely will be there — as a guest of the PGA Tour player by the same name for whom the coveted invitation was intended.

Stallings, who qualified for the Masters by reaching the Tour Championship last year, didn’t realize what had happened until the other Scott Stallings sent him a series of messages on Instagram alerting him to the mail mix-up.

“Hi Scott. My name is Scott Stallings as well and I’m from GA. My wife’s name is Jennifer too!” the man wrote. “I received a FedEx today from the Masters inviting me to play in the Masters Tournament April 6-9, 2023. I’m (100 percent) sure this is NOT for me.”

Invitations were sent to eligible players the week before Christmas. Stallings said he checked his mail every day and began to wonder where his was. “Honestly, I thought my wife had it and was doing something for Christmas,” Stallings said Monday at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. “But then nothing came, and we left two days after Christmas. I didn’t even think about.”

And then Instagram solved the mystery of the two Stallings, one of them from St. Simons Island, Georgia, the other a three-time PGA Tour winner from Knoxville, Tennessee, who is going to the Masters for the third time.

He still hasn’t seen the actual invitation. Stallings said he previously had a sports management company that had an office in St. Simons Island. The other man’s condo is next to the office building, and Stallings can only assume the delivery person figured that’s where the invitation belonged.

“The guy said, ‘I saw my name and never considered it, but I opened it up and like, ‘This is not for me,’” Stallings said. “He sent me a bunch of messages saying, ‘This is not fake, I promise, I have it.’”

Stallings was runner-up in the BMW Championship during the FedEx Cup playoffs that enabled him to finishing in the top 30 for the Tour Championship, which comes with a spot in the Masters.

Turns out the other Scott Stallings can plan on a trip to Augusta National, too. “We’re going to give him some practice-round tickets and take him to dinner on Monday night for doing the right thing,” golfer Stallings said.

That's actually not a bad deal and a way to get some Masters swag. I remember the egg salad being delicious.

Agreed. You could easily sell some of those cups online and probably make half your $ back. Sell them all and possibly turn a small profit.
