1992 Masters Tournament Final Round Broadcast

I was standing there for this win. What a great experience.

[@jameshoran8]

I had the distinct privilege to play Augusta about three weeks before the 92 Masters. Almost 30 years later, I have always kept the name of the member that allowed me to play that day a secret. All I can say is the 12th green looks like a thimble when you're standing from the tee 165 yards away. I tried for ten years to play the course in my effort to play the 100 Greatest in the country and it was well worth all the letters I sent to Hord Hardin who would write me back saying I wasn't entitled to play such a course. How much I wanted to go up to him that day and say I had achieved my quest, but I had too much respect for the member to take such action.

[@justinairin1]

Sure you did,you just keep believing that

[@cagoodson70]

You are my hero!

[@quantumpotential7639]

I sent 112 letters to Hord Hardin and in exchange he sent me 112 rejection letters. He used the same terminology on me too. Said I wasn't entitled to play it nor was I even qualified to be able to be permitted to apply for the tickets because of my repeated abuse of the USPS letter carriers. What a schmo.

[@Simmons409]

This era of golf in the 90s was the perfect blend of golf equipment technology and golf course design. The need to shape shots, avoid hazards, club selection, and getting on a par 5s in 2 was exciting to watch. Nowadays guys just hit driver-wedge into every hole, and the beauty/challenges of the courses is non existing for the current pros.

[@melissamessmer6544]

I believe technology and athleticism have allowed the courses to be overpowered

[@lkae4]

@@melissamessmer6544 The difference in physique is unreal. Guys today also seem to have much more athletic and technically advanced swings.

[@Skumtomten1]

In my opinion advancements in technology has been for the worse in many sports. Augusta will always be a challange due to the difficult greens however, which can destroy your score no matter how far you hit the ball. The course and the game as a whole suffers though, even though it is no doubt fun to watch them hit +350 yard drives.

[@DanielSong39]

It's the golf course setup If you introduce OB right next to the fairway they'll think twice about piping those long drives

[@ja-ks8dh]

Totally agree with this, power has overtaken skill now

[@Friedasboss2001]

This was the first masters I watched as a teenager and feel in love with golf. Always loved Freddy! Funny seeing Joey on Freddys bag and Steve Williams on Floyd’s

[@theivory1]

There's nothing better than re-watching Freddy win the masters back in my senior year of high school. Especially when I'm supposed to be working.

[@markstewartsbreakingthecha3531]

The effortless swing and cool demeanor of a champion, thank you for the memories Freddie, you are a legend.

[@march1969]

He was more fidgety than I remember. He disguised it well.

[@scottsaul]

How can you not like Fred Couples he is such a gentleman and he definitely had a gift, his smooth golf 🏌️‍♂️ swing.

[@jamesdavis5517]

Might I say that a gift is something you haven’t worked for. Freddy definitely worked on his swing. For years, he paused at the top during range sessions to add that lazy look and perfect timing.

[@2k10clarky]

I think what makes Freddie swing look so effortless is the efficiency of motion of his body. some shots looks like he barely moves.

[@atamagashock]

It was Freddy and this weekend that started my love of golf and this tournament. I was 12 years old and found myself glued to the tv the entire weekend and to this day it’s my favorite weekend of the year

[@dmkappa62]

What I’ve always loved about the masters is it feels the same every year. The same music, same commentators basically and the same beautiful golf course. It’s the only tournament I get up early(Aussie) to watch per year. Tiger for 2019

[@trenthamilton4240]

Of course we all love seeing Freddie win but can we not forget the amazing charge from the great Ray Floyd? I totally remember watching this Sunday with my dad - I was all about Freddie but dad was all about Ray. The funny to watch the pre-Tiger years and realize how much he changed the game. Thank you, Augusta, for uploading this coverage. It's a delight to watch.

[@salfordnick5336]

Freddie made me a ton of money with his win.....was 14 😂😂😂 my older brother put a fiver on for me....his face when he picked up my winnings on the money was fantastic. At 14 it bought me my first set of proper irons.....but Freddie was just my favourite player back then, could watch his swing all day and I was so happy that he won the masters.

I really miss watching Fred Couples playing golf. He was so smooth and seemingly carefree. Were he a gifted putter, he would have won two or three more Masters and he had his chances at the Open as well. The best shot he hit on the back nine was his approach to 14. Just listen to the ball as it leaves the club. Wow!

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Gorgeous swing. How do you swing that slow and bomb it 300 plus? The guy was so talented. He had a great career, but I think he should have won even more.

[@abon587]

I think broadcasts then felt more like theater. There was a real TV drama element to it. Broadcasts today, with high definition and close-ups, feel meant to make you feel like you're there. The goal is realism, and making you feel like there isn't a TV screen between you and the players. Just my two cents.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Agreed. Pat and Ken brought a lot to it as well. Its not the same anymore. Wimbledon either. Both were classics and broadcasted so well.

That is a mystery, for sure. Greg Norman was oozing with talent. He was the best golfer in the world for a long, long time and was always near the top of the leaderboard in most every tournament he played in. An underachiever, for sure, in the majors, but it’s hard to feel too bad for him. Two Open wins is a serious accomplishment!

Should have double digit majors. He blew some, and had a few taken by amazing shots and play.

[@RG-ja34sep]

Has there ever been a swing with the silky smooth rhythm of Freddie Couples? The only ones that come to mind is Ernie Els and more recently, Louis Oosthuizen. The one thing that amazes me is I thought Freddie was going to be penalised for lifting that other ball out of Rae’s Creek at No 12. I never knew that you were allowed to do that, especially as he had not yet completed play on the hole.

That 3 from off the green on 14, is one of the greatest all-time at Augusta. In 76 he had a Nicklaus/Woods- esque win, lapping the field. If I'm not mistaken, those 3 having the biggest margins of victory in the tournament's nearly 90 year history.
