76 yesterday and 76 today. Two 18 hole rounds with my BlackMax ball. Both rounds were very windy. Current streak is now at 36 holes.
I’m attempting to break my 92 hole record of consecutive holes with one ball.
The curse of the PGA Tour this year has been rain delays. Given the close proximity of the BellSouth Classic and the fact that it has been delayed 2 days made me wonder if The Masters would have any weather issues. I always think of The Masters as 84 degrees and sunny. That won’t the case this year apparently.
Here’s the current weather report for The Masters, 3 days 23 hours 8 minutes and 27 seconds before tee off.
The won’t be a 36 hole finish on Monday at the BellSouth Classic. I bet many of the players (especially those going to The Masters) are happy about that.
After play on Saturday 63 players had yet to finish the FIRST round. Billy Mayfair was atop the leaderboard at -4 but had only completed 13 holes. Several other players were at -3 and had finished round 1.
Recently I posted about going 92 holes with one BlackMax ball.
I’ve started the new streak as of today. 18 holes. Tomorrow is a tournament and hopefully I’ll be up to 36. A report will follow.
Former Masters champion Ian Woosnam has withdrawn from the rain delayed BellSouth supposedly due back problems. Yeah right. I bet his back feels better by Thursday.
Four other players withdrew Friday. They included Stuart Appleby, ranked No. 13 in the world, Chris DiMarco, ranked No. 15, Steve Flesch and David Peoples. David Peoples is not in the Masters however.
Here’s the DNS list: Chris Perry, Chris Dimarco, Bob Burns, Ian Woosnam, David Peoples, Luke Donald, Ken Green, Steve Flesch and Stuart Appleby.
The players who no show do have to submit a reason to the PGA within 14 days. I’m sure all the players who are in the Masters will site “health reasons” for missing the BellSouth.
