Any golf fans out there? if so, who do you like in the Masters this weekend?

Today is moving day, as they say. I like Mickelson and Woods to play well today, and be right there tomorrow. Goosen and Couples are my two longer shots.

Well, off to Ladbrokes. Just kidding.

Hi El Lobo. I like Couples as a sentimental choice. What about Chad Campbell? He might be due for a major... looked solid yesterday. Certainly can't rule out the likes of Woods, Mickelson, Goosen, Els and Singh. I like it when some relatively unknown comes through. Maybe Ames he was brilliant at the TPC a few weeks ago.

IMO...

A good putter will win this tournament, because of the changes. That is why I left some of those names off, even though they are fine players. That...and age...is why Freddie is a longer shot to hold up, I think.

You know, I could be eating crow. Hey, maybe that would be a great winner's choice for the Champion's Dinner.

El Lobo you are certainly right about the importance of being a good putter on those greens. Fred looks a little shaky on those critical short mid-range putt 6-10 ft. It's golf, but not as we know it.

Just watched the end of the Masters. It finished way past my bed time last night

. I was really pulling for Couples. In the end, as i expected, the putter let him down

. Oh well...quite a good tournament this year.
