Does anyone know why Rory isn't in the Masters field? He's ranked 17 in the world and I know part of the reason for him coming over to the US to play in some early events was to gear up for the Masters. So what's up?

He is.

I just love little questions like this that are so easy to answer.

If only the rest of life's questions were just as easy....

My bad!!

I was making my Yahoo Fantasy Picks this morning and Rory had a "NE" by his name (Not Entered). So then I pulled up the Master's Website to check and I didn't see his name there. I must have just overlooked it.

Thanks for the quick responses though

That is quite a signature, but I stil have a few questions.
1)What brand/design/color of shoe do you wear?
2)What brand of spike do you have in them?
3)How many teeth are in those spikes?
4)What color tees do you use?
5)Do you wear a hat/visor?
6)If so, what brand/color/design?
7)What about golf shirts? What brand/colors do you wear?
8)What type of divot repair tool/ball marker do you use?
9)How do you mark your ball?
10)What type of golf towel do you have?

I think that should provide me sufficient signature information. jester.gif

Don't knock his signature! I'd rather see more info then less.

Much better than other signatures that just say "stuff". Just kidding Imsocrabby!!!

I am also on the edge of my seat wondering what kind of golf umbrella he uses.

I'm ok with him feeling the need to report that his push cart is a Bagboy Compact LX, but I am thoroughly bothered by how he calls his clubs "Mizzy's" and "Cally's". If I was playing golf with somebody and they said to me "142 yards.....that sounds like a job for my Mizzy 44" or if it started to rain and they said "oh no, I don't want my Mizzies to get wet", I think I'd pretty much never play golf again. I assume his socks are the kind with fuzzy little balls attached at the heel.

+1.

LOL. The "Titty" one really gets me laughing. Whenever my playing partners say that instead of Titelist, it always gets my mind drifting to a better place (where my head is nuzzled between 2 large peaks....).

I am quite serious, dont know about these other guys - We all have signatures and put our setups - Some like the whole gps or cart included, I dont care for it. The need to put up every iron and loft is a bit unnecessary

No other way you could have addressed this I guess? I'm with ya but damn lighten up a bit... wink.gif

This is great stuff, makes me laugh. All I'm getting at with my signature is to show that I'm using even 4 degree gaps between my clubs. I just feel that people never really think about the lofts of their clubs, they just go with what the manufacturers provide. It was just meant to get people to think about thteir lofts, that's all.

And if you are curious about the underwear I use just ask your Mom.

I guess that couldnt be accomplished by something like:
Mizzy MP 52 4-pw (4* gap between each club)

To each his own

That's precisely why I browse these forums w/ signatures hidden.

I don't give a s*** about WITB for Titleist Fanboy #33.

Really??? I have a spreadsheet with everyone on here's full bag exact specs and I study it for a two hours every night for absolutely no reason. And then I quiz myself. I'm sitting there like "did he have a Mizzy 32 or a Mizzy 34? Was his ball retriever a Cally or was it an Extendo 5000 purhased at Walmart. I have to get to the bottom of this."

Don't take it too personally. This forum likes to take a poster a day make fun of them. You're just the flavor of the day.
