Watch 2011 Masters Online - Live Streaming Masters Coverage   by Rich Koester

If you would like to watch the 2011 Masters tournament online then you have come to the right place. Watching golf online has become very popular, and you shouldn't have to miss a single minute of the Masters golf tournament just because you don't have access to a television. In this article I will explain the best way to watch live streaming golf online.

When it comes to watching the 2011 Masters online the first thing you need to know is that a dial-up connection to the internet just simply isn't fast enough to carry a live stream. What you will notice with a dial-up connection is that the buffer time for the stream is unusually long. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to a broadband internet connection. That way you can enjoy a live, HD quality stream without the long buffer times.

The next thing you want to do is prepare your PC for the live tournament coverage. What a lot of people don't realize is that, most likely, there are programs running in the background of your computer. You may have some software that has processes running in the background, and it's been days since you used that particular program! This can actually affect the speed of your internet connection, and when it comes to watching the Masters live online, internet speed is critical. The best way to solve this dilemma is to restart your PC, and close out any unnecessary programs while watching the tournament online.

The final, and most important thing you want to do is find a high quality live stream of the Masters tournament. The most popular way to do this, believe it or not, is to download live streaming software. You can search the internet for hours trying to find a live stream only to end up watching a very poor quality stream that constantly drops signal. A lot of websites will even scam you by making you complete surveys before connecting you to the live stream ... and then the link ends up being dead and worthless. To get around this, what you need to do is make a small, one-time investment into some live streaming software. The software will automatically connect you to the best HD stream available. There are no monthly fees and you actually gain access to 4,500 additional live channels. For some software that I recommend go toLive Golf Channels. Their software is very reasonably priced and completely safe.
