Who is more annoying; Zach Johnson or his caddie?

 

It's amazing how often you bring up your dislike for ZJ...

 

Yeah, ZJ looks like a real jerk. I mean, look at this!!!

Amazing how fast these greens are. Sullivan puts his 6 feet by, Kisner has an almost identical putt and puts his 5 feet by.

Yessir!!!

man those bunkers look freaking huge!!

Anyone know what shaft is in the driver that Jack used on his ceremonial tee shot this morning?

 

It looks like a Tour AD MJ.

 

 

Ha. I knew that was coming. You will still need to know the flex as well as length. Maybe even if he had it cured. And we are not even getting into the head adjustments Rory made. Anyhow I tried to get a clue from his expressions with Gary after he hit and just before the pictures. Hard to tell if he was the victor but we need to know.

 

Well, with all that . . . I play the AD MJ so my interest was just piqued after I saw the video on masters.com. Who hit the longest drive was not my question. :) All's well my friend.

Go JB!

Kisner spitting something disgusting. Instant DQ surely? Just vile.

Unless it's Phil with a chance I don't care who wins. But knowing if Jack outdrove Gary is critical. Hope we can get an answer. I knew you didn't ask about that but I can't figure out how to seperate from a quote in the same post.

Going to be a slow day with the wind. Players spending a lot of time with towels sweeping pine stamens out of their putting lines.

[cvhookem63]

It's being covered in it's own thread, but I figured I would drop this in here as well.

 

It looks like Jordan Spieth has swapped his trusty Aldila Rogue Black driver shaft for an Aldila NV 2KXV Blue shaft for this week.

Is there somewhere to watch Spieth's round right now?

Lower ball flight?

No idea if it's legal but the Masters could provide a few battery powered leaf blowers and speed things up

not until he gets to amen corner or becomes one of the featured groups.

Not that I know of. He is on #2 (didn't make the featured group cut I guess) so we likely won't see him until he gets to the Amen Corner feed or until ESPN picks it up at 3pm ET (which at this current pace of play could be a possibility).

they will come out with leaf blowers occasionally and blow off greens throughout the day.

Pic from yesterday (found by Jcrone)

 

And specs:

 

Aldila NV 2KXV Blue Graphite Wood Shafts

 

When the original NV, featuring Micro Laminate Technology®, was introduced it quickly became the number one aftermarket golf shaft ever offered, a favorite of Tour pros and amateurs alike. After years of development, Aldila has created NexGen Micro Laminate Technology™ – new, even thinner high performance carbon fibers combined with today’s advanced fiber resin technology. The result is even more layers of carbon fiber offering maximum consistency and performance. What separated the original NV from the other shafts available was what some referred to as its ‘perfect feel’. The 2KXV provides for even better feel and performance.

Features

• Features NexGen Micro Laminate Technology™ - 25% thinner high performance carbon fiber pre-preg with 16% less resin – resulting in more layers of carbon fiber producing maximum consistency and performance.
  
• Provides even better feel than the original NV and is slightly counterbalanced, which is ideal for today’s modern head designs and increased length.
  
• NV 2KXV blue is designed for a mid-launch ball flight with mid spin.

Where did the loud roar come from?

I didn't think so. Hey, at least we get to watch Zach Johnson and Andy Sullivan though :nea:

[imakaveli]

Great start from Thomas Pieters!

[jonsnow]

Who is more annoying; Zach Johnson or his caddie?

 

 

I don't follow this closely but I'm curious what the caddie issue is? Is he a total jerkwad like that Williams loser? As a general rule I don't like caddies. Think they are over rated and in todays game, get waaaaaay too much attention and credit.

 

Hah, that's Damon Green. He's a good guy, just a little goofy for some people's tastes. He's also been acknowledged to be the best player among the caddies, won a bunch of mini tour events over the years.

[andrew_m]

Rickie and Pieters!!! I love this wind.

[littleinjunp]

Can I see Phil f****ing Mickelson, please?

 

3 holes of Zach Johnson is 3 more than I wanted to watch in my lifetime. Wouldn't even watch that guy if I won a contest and got to play 18 holes with him.

 

And why the hell is Kevin Kisner 'featured' as part of anything?

 

Jesus Christ. Get it the f*ck together, Masters.com
