The activity and scores at the Masters on Friday went pretty much as expected. The leader did not increase his lead and many of the to players shot well to close the gap. Virtually all players moved up the leader board including Rory McIlroy (which I did not choose) and Bryson DeChambeau. Some notably names missed the cut (Freddie Couples who I was tracking), but many players shot solid rounds and closed in on Justin Rose who is leading at minus eight. With all the activity unfolding as expected, what do we have in store for actual moving day at The 2025 Masters?

Opening Day At The 2023 Masters
The day is finally here! The 2023 Masters starts very soon and all the hype will be replaced with great play.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

What makes them succeed where others with poor technique fail? It is definitely not lucky bounces because their success is over the long term. My solution to this quandary is that they found the swing that works best for their game.

I am not sure why many fans of golf originally gravitated towards the sport. I am confident that what ever reason brought someone over is as unique as a snowflake. In the modern day of social media, instant news, and a constant barrage of useless information, creating drama seems to be quickly becoming a method to garner interest (regardless of how fleeting) It seems that controversy sells and positive deeds are overlooked in many cases. As a person who reads and writes about about golf, I am not sure that the path fame in the golfing world is paved by constantly talking about contentious topics.
