Catch “Amen Corner” on the run with a PC or Mac
One of my favorite golf tourneys started today. The 2008 Masters from Augusta National teed off this morning, which is coincidental since I mangled played my first round of golf this season just yesterday. [Don't worry Tiger, you've nothing to fear from my swing!]
You can catch live action right from your PC or Mac today through Sunday: the official website has live video streaming from Amen Corner and the 15th & raucous 16th holes. You’ll need WiFi or a good 3G signal for the coverage as they recommend 800 kbps down or better. Coverage should start shortly because the first players are making the turn to Amen Corner as I write this. I prefer watching the coverage in 1080i high-def because the foliage and scenery are amazing this time of year in Augusta. A 960 x 540 live feed on the go isn’t that bad though…
“August” or “Augusta”?
Unless, of course, you are travelling outside the country. In that case, “this service is not available in your area.”
Actually, it also works on Linux since it’s Flash-based. Not that I was watching it *at all* at work today. Or tomorrow.
If paradise was half as nice.
