I’ve just added over 100 photos to the HOG Masters Gallery. I also added a whole new album called Masters Odd Stuff for things you may not normally see at Augusta National. Here are a couple of samples from the 2010 Masters Tournament gallery.
Above: Tiger Woods tees of on #9

Above: A view you never see, looking back at the tee from #13 fairway. COOL!
Now that Tiger Woods is confirmed for the Masters tournament in a couple of weeks, he’s doing some interviews tonight on TV. I’m calling them preemptive strikes. He’s trying to take some sort of control over the media and lessen or deflect the attention at the Masters. He’s trying to make sure that attention at Augusta is about golf.
It is notable that there didn’t seem to be much “notice” on these interviews. I found out about them only after the Golf Channel one had happened. I didn’t see it, but below I have the transcript of the interview done by Kelly Tilghman. Apparently there’s another interview or one already happened on ESPN. I missed that too.
I grew tired of all the Tiger Woods affair circus. I just want to see Tiger play golf now.

Tiger Woods has just announced he’ll return to professional golf at The Masters. I would have thought he’d try to get one competitive round in before that to warm himself up, likely Bay Hill.
The Masters is a perfect place for Tiger to return because of the high level of security and the strict rules enforced on the grounds at Augusta National.
Will Tiger win or contend? I sort of doubt it, but he is Tiger Woods.
Tiger’s Press Release Below
(more…)
Boy the web will be full of opinions. Mine will be coming later. I’m going to watch the apology speech a few times.
This is entertaining to say the least. Tiger’s speech tomorrow is so tightly secured and controlled that the Golf Writers Association of America, a group of 950, has decided to boycott it. Only three pool writers will be allowed near Tiger during the speech and they had to agree NOT to ask questions.
G.W.A.A. president Vartan Kupelian: “To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.”
The fallout from the speech is going to be huge. Just imagine how many opinions, dissections, questions and critiques there will be following the speech. No way I’ll be able to keep my comments to myself so stay tuned here for my incredibly insightful and valuable take on Tiger’s apology.
