I haven't made my pics yet (I do a masters pool every year with my buddies). I have a sneaking suspicion one of the really young guns will be in contention. I'm curious if Speith can dispel his demons!

I have Friday tickets this year, but with a little luck I will pick up a Saturday ticket while I am down there. As for a winner....no way to tell with this tournament!

i'd like to see an old timer win. Ernie, Vijay or Phil of the lot. maybe even a back marker.

i'm so bored with all the mechanical swings of the under 30's and 40 golfers.

My favorite tourney of the year. No prediction yet. Better idea after the WGC this week.

Rory has looked very good of late. Be rooting for Phil though. I do hope Spieth is there at the end to exorcise his demons from last year.

Can't wait! Hard to pick a winner but DJ & Spieth should be right there. My Dark Horse is Pat Perez.

Angel Cabrera could be the 452nd golfer in the world and still has a strong showing at Augusta National.

Best time of the year! Pulling for Speith obviously but think it might be Rory's year. Felt bad for him ever since he collapsed having such a huge lead a few years ago.

Only 14 days till The Masters!

Just bought and got fitted to new golf clubs today because of the "masters sale."..... sure, the sale is probably made up and happens weekly..... BUT I got 100$ off for every 500$ because of the masters (according to the sign lol).

Anyone down there yet? I have Friday tickets, but I would meet a fellow TRF member for a beer somewhere on the course. Also, I waited too long to book a place this year and I only found a place Friday night. Looks like I will be getting up around 4am to drive down Friday morning....

Father in law flew/flies down this am just for today. If he sends picks I'll post them. He usually brings me back some good gear, so looking forward to that too!

I've got to enter my picks today. I'm thinking DJ, Jordan, and Rahm.
The rules are below, let me know if you have any insight on whom I should be picking
----------------------------
1st Place winner will be the contestant with all three (3) players who make the final cut AND have the lowest combined total (+/-) to par. Should multiple entries 'tie', then the first tiebreaker is the accuracy of your guess of total combined (+/-). 1st Place winner receives 80% of the cash & The Masters Cup.

Anyone (most of you) who fail to have all three (3) players make the cut will be placed into a second pool as long as two (2) of your three (3) players advance to Saturday. The winner of this group is the contestant with the two (2) players finishing with the lowest total combined (+/-). No, your third player who did not qualify does not count against you. Tiebreaker is again the accuracy of your guess to combined (+/-).
