How to improve the Masters: 17 ways they won't think of

9. I think I speak for any parent in the UK when I say that having a final round that starts at 9.20am your time, and 2.20pm our time, was a bit of a mess. I appreciate that you had some bad weather coming in but this played absolute havoc with days out and family harmony.

Have you ever considered having some form of roof?

10. Speaking of which home-improvement programmes have been all the rage over here in the UK for years now so maybe you could get DIY SOS in to do something about the Butler Cabin? It looks like the waiting room in a funeral home.

Perhaps hold an episode of Antiques Roadshow in the flowerbed behind 12?

I’ve got more if you’d like to hear them?

11. The top 50 players in the world seems awfully harsh, is there not a bit of wiggle room to get the best 75 players into the field? On the other end of the spectrum you might want to install a three-year ban for the player who finishes dead last. This year that would have meant a sudden-death play-off between Olly and Cabrera. How much drama do you want?

12. Along these lines could we get some sort of Whistling Straits bunkering into play on the par-3 course? I haven’t got the Strokes Gained stats but there must be some scope for toughening things up a bit, taking a few tees back, thickening up the rough to the Shinnecock standards in the dark days and hiding a few pins away. Let’s try and get the winning score at over par.

13. Magnolia Lane seems to be an accident waiting to happen with everyone on their phones.

Weekend at @TheMasters hitting BOMBS ? and attacking pins.

Slap a fine and a few points on them and you’ll soon see an improvement in behaviour.

14. To add a bit of colour anyone getting into the ‘property’ early should not be allowed to put their fold-up chair wherever they like unless it is accompanied by a beach towel.

15. I haven’t watched the Drive, Chip and Putt too closely but I presume that they haven’t ventured out on to the 11th yet? If you want to single out a deserved champion get them off the tips there, ideally with a 30mph wind in their faces, and

Let’s see what they’re made of.

16. Are the dates set in stone? On one year the Masters clashed with the Grand National, the FA Cup semi-finals AND the Boat Race.

Maybe it would be worth involving yourselves in a bit of dialogue with those at the helm of these sporting occasions so you’re not all fighting for the same air time.

17. Rather than the white boiler suits for the caddies could we take things down the retro route and let the loopers pick any outfit from the classic era line-up of The Village People?

Please reply ASAP.
