Daily Dose: April 10 - The Masters begins...

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

and so did the puking....by me...when the crappy instrumental music came up and Mike Tirico spoke in hushed tones...only matched by Jim Nantz's annual syrupyness (if that's a word)....

look - I love golf's majors. I love watching them. I absolutely love Augusta National's power to only have four minutes of commercials per hour. But I really, really hate the tone the announcers have to take when calling the action and describing the course.

But - Nick Faldo and David Feherty are so good, you can't mute it...

Round 1 was a great one - a jammed leaderboard with big names everywhere and some young guns in the mix. Tomorrow will be interesting for sure.
