Jim McCabe's front 9 musings

1 – Not a good look

Doing AimPoint for putts inside of 3 feet should be a one-shot penalty. Or a year’s probation. Haven’t decided.


2 – It’s so hard to keep track

How many comebacks is this now for Tiger?


3 – Hopefully, both lose

Pimento sandwich and The Gnome are all square in consolation bracket playoff for least appealing aspect to the Masters.


4 – But I deal with it

I am fairly certain that my ball speed travels cautiously in the right-hand lane.


5 – Masterful

When it came to the pre-shot hitching of the pants, Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer were 1-2.


6 – Flowery subject

The magnolia beats the azalea, 2 and 1.


7 – The sweetest view

My favorite seat at Augusta is right behind the seventh green.


8 – A man can dream can’t he?

Wish I had a stock 8-iron. If only to say I had one.


9 – Cheers to Kupcho and ANGC

The inaugural winner of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur capturing an LPGA major on the same weekend of the third edition of the ANWA is grossly overlooked. Marvelous validation.
