Masters starts today!

Justin Thomas seems a favourite with the "experts", Spieth has hit form at the right time and his record there is incredible. Seems quite open to me, plenty are in good form and capable.

Supposedly playing firm and fast unlike in November so should be exciting!

Who's your money on?

Koepka, Xander, Corey Conners and ............. Bubba

Spieth knows how to get it done if gets chance. Thomas and DJ will be close.

Xander is a great player, really like his game.

There's a few decent long-shot each way bets about too, plenty with good course experience like Bubba, Rose, Scott, and Oosthuizen at long odds. Augusta always seems to bring up some surprises you never know!

Seems like Tiger Woods was travelling at twice the speed limit when he crashed. My levels of sympathy have just dropped a fair amount.

He’s a messed up dude, I still wouldn’t rule out anything intentional. Police are giving him benefit of the doubt saying he could have panicked and pressed the wrong pedal but Woods and vehicular mishaps aren’t exactly rare. I don’t know. Just glad no one else got caught up in it.

Matt Leblanc Reaction GIF

I had a quick skim but only saw talk of the pros. When it comes to golf, the only thing I'm a pro in is topping the ball, smacking it left to curl dramatically right or hitting the club head on my shin bone as I'm walking.

I also play cack handed because it feels so horrible and unnatural to me the other. I am right-handed, stand as a right hander but put my left hand lower than my right. My dad used to try and teach me out of it as a kid but gave up. I used to hit cricket shots like that too as well as rounders/baseball style.

Seriously, that sounds impossibly uncomfortable.

Sorry Wez, but having read that, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that it will be virtually impossible for you to become a competent golfer.

Wow, bet he's put some hours in to be that good. It's a brilliant game and there are many ways to skin a cat, go for it wez.

Thanks, Phil, I have just signed up for a club membership. It comes with a 15 minute session with their PGA guy so I'll take that up and see what they can suggest. 

I'll hit the driving range and try and only hit right hand on the bottom all the time. If it still feels unnatural then I'll have to just go for it the unconventional way.

My Mrs took a pic of me teeing off without me realising and sent me a load of pics from the day. This is how it looks. My front foot needs to be way more forward I see. Not sure if my arm is supposed to bend like that but I broke and dislocated the elbow in separate incidents over the years haha.

It will feel horrible switching to conventional, which is what the Pro will probably ask you to try. Good luck mate.
