Match-Play Day 1

    This all happens so fast I can't possibly keep up with it all. You can refer to the brackets on the bracket page and see who is wining but to get any type of detail is going to be difficult. I will tell you that there is going to be a lefty/righty issue this year. But that was no surprise after practice day. Everybody loves to jump all over whoever is in charge when this happens. I don't care to find an answer for the unrealistic desire in making things fair. To be honest if the right were to work together it would never be fair to be a left hander. But most of the time the right gets so bad because of the game plans or lack of game plans that make each pair and lane look so dramatically different. So before the bowlers start complaining about the lane man they should take a long look at they real problem. How the field breaks the lanes down. By the time the bowlers get to game 4 the field has altered the pattern based on what they are using and the angles they are playing.

The Masters is a tournament that runs the lanes in the morning before match-play starts and the rest is up to the field to play with. So it can get easier or harder depending on the strategy. Guess what it will get harder on the right for most. I guess this will just have to be the 1 out of every 4 years or so that the bowlers will just have to fight through the challenges. And those on the left better take advantage because if history repeats itself it won't be there next year to take advantage of. So forget fair and deal with it is all I can say.
