Isn't it almost impossible to get tickets to the Masters unless you have an "in" or have been on some waiting list for years?

If I could, I would love to go someday.

We get tickets every year.
Augusta National is a beautiful place and The Masters should be on everyone's "bucket list" even if you're not into golf.

I'll be there tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday. Can't Wait.

So, can you just buy them off the net? How did you get them?

rossv1

My grandfather was a member until he passed away so that's how we get ours.

You can always check places like ticketmaster etc. but they charge obscene amounts for them.

See that's what I meant by having an "in" to get tickets. I doubt Ticketbastard will have Masters tickets for sale.

A few of our friends go through this website to sell their tickets.

Thats cool! But StubHub is a lot different from Ticketbastard, I'm sure there are some peeps on Ebay selling them too. Like I said, maybe one day I'll get out there.

I'm really impressed with the youngsters this year, McIleroy, Day, and Fowler are doing superb!

Everybody up here is in awe of Rory.

Couples had a great round today as well.

And what about Tiger getting back to within 3?

Even with Phil being 8 back, he's still got a great chance to grab a 4th green jacket.

Tiger would have done even better if he hadn't missed a few birdie putts that should of went in. We've seen it before, its not how you start but how you finish, (*cough* Greg Norman) that's when experience steps in and the vets should never be considered out. However, I would love to see any of the younger guys win. How sweet would that be to have a green jacket at 21?

rossv1

Tiger's putt on 16 today definitely comes to my mind, not the easiest putt, but it wasn't incredibly difficult either.
Like everyone over here is saying, the Masters doesn't start until the back nine on Sunday. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see how Rory and Jason finish this week up.

Exactly. It was such a beautiful shot that he laid up next to the hole and then to miss that putt was horrible. But that is a pretty fast green and I'm sure he was trying to compensate for it. To be honest, I think Day will do better than McIlroy when its said and done, his swing was spot on and he looked relaxed, plus being one shot shy of the course record ( 8 under today wtf!!) must really build some confidence going into the third round, lets just hope for his sake he stays consistent.

On TMZ they have a pic of T. Woods shooting craps a few days before the Masters... another major gone by and Jack continues to smile.

Don't be so sure of yourself, he's only one back of the lead as of now (-10). Today's round is gearing up to being one of the best, its anybodys tournament.

Professor

Where are these no names coming from... the majors used to always be dealt among about 10 players. No longer.

Wow, what a day of golf!! This was the most exciting round I've seen in a long time. While I'm glad my prediction about Day was spot on, it was agonizing to watch McIlroy fall apart like he did. Plus, for a second there, I thought Tiger was going to comeback and win it all, but unfortunately, he missed a few, key short putts. Congrats to Schwartzel on his hard fought victory!

Australia, South Africa, Asia...pretty much every continent. I think we will be hearing about these youngsters for years to come.
