Bubba Watson surprises members by turning up to play and work at their local golf club.

Bubba Watson comes across great in this video and his prowess with the right handed set of clubs is amazing.

Bubba is certainly getting out and about this year. In between designing golf hovercraft and working at local golf courses, it’s a wonder he has any time to practice in order to defend his green jacket. By the looks of it, he could play with a set of right handed clubs and still win.

Tip o’ the hat the the Armchair Golfer for finding this one.

Australian golf fans have every reason to feel a little ripped off this year; there are only four Australian golfers in the field for the 2013 US Masters.

Every time I buy a packet of chips these days it feels like there are less and less in them. But somehow I’m still paying the same amount, if not more.

The finely tuned, finely mowed US Masters will be no different for Aussie golf fans in 2013 with just four Australian golfers in the field to tee off at Augusta National this Thursday (Friday morning Australian time).

Australian TV Times for 2013 US Masters

Six Australians took to the fairways of Augusta National in 2012, but the 2013 US Masters will feature John Senden, Adam Scott, Jason Day and Marc Leishman as the four Australians attempting to become the first to claim a green jacket.

The last time just four Australians played in the US Masters was back in 2002 when Tiger Woods won his third green jacket. The field is also notable for the absence of Australia’s last major winner Geoff Ogilvy who fell out of the world’s top-50 players last week and will miss out on his first major championship since 2005.

Interestingly, Ogilvy has made just five cuts in his last 12 majors.

Of the four Australians in the field, can we hope any of them will break the drought? My feeling is it’s unlikely given their current form… but golf’s a funny game. Let’s take a look at all four players in a little more detail.

Greg Chalmers finished on a high at the Velero Texas Open this week making this hole-in-one at the 16th hole (his seventh this morning) at TPC San Antonio.

The hole is well known for the bunker placed in the middle of the green. On this occasion the hole was placed just back and left of the bunker that Chalmers managed to find with a perfectly executed six-iron.

Chalmers finished the day with a 4-under par 68 and in a tie for 37th place for a tournament. Chalmers had missed the cut in his previous two tournaments so let’s hope Snake has his mojo back and can build on what was a reasonable start to the year.

Tread softly inside the grounds of Augusta National. The Masters is no ordinary golf tournament.

I have yet to call myself a ‘patron’ at The Masters but attending the greatest run sporting event on the planet is still very much on my bucket list. But when I finally do make my way down Magnolia Lane there are a few things I know that are forbidden at this very unique golf tournament.

You cannot move an unoccupied chair
One of the great unwritten rules at Augusta a patron’s right to place their chair beside the 18th green at the start of the day, and expect it to still be there, unattended when they wish to return there later.

Reportedly, the fast shoe shuffle (no running) from patrons making there way through the gates each morning to place their chairs beside the 18th green would make a great viral video. But alas, there are no cameras or phones allowed on the course.

Number of Australians who have won The Masters: Zero.

Another year and another week before The Masters where we cross our fingers, toes and  in the hope that we may see the first ever Australian winner of the US Masters.

We’ve had out chances claim a green jacket of course. An Australian has finished second on six occasions with the most memorable being Greg Norman’s last day capitulation in 1996 after leading the tournament by six strokes going into the final round.

Several Australian golf writers have suggested But in 1950 perhaps the curse began when Jim Ferrier blew a four stroke third round lead to finish two shots behind American Jimmy Demaret. Ferrier made the turn five strokes in front of Demaret but closed with a 41 on the back nine.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported it like this:

Ferrier, leader for two days and through most of the final round, “blew up” towards the end and finished with a 75, against Demaret’s 69.

..

This is a top-notch event to which only 36 players receive special invitations.

Demaret is on the club committee.

A top-notch event it certainly is, but not one an Australian has tasted victory at yet.
