I am running a Masters pool at work and thought maybe we could do it here...you pick 5 golfers and take the top 4 out of 5 based on their finish...say your guys finish 1st,2nd,3rd,4th, and 5th(that's my plan)...your "score would be 10....add up your top 4 finishes....low "score" wins...if a golfer misses the cut "he" would receive last place finish plus 10 pts....tiebreaker could be for ex....lowest round shot over four days wins...


Tom I can run this pool...anyone interested would just have to post their 5 golfers they want and I can give daily updates after each round on my account thread


Need golfers by early Thursday morning...will list tie breakers when I think of better ones

3/1 Tiger Woods, the golfer.
25/1 Adam Scott, with the cheater putter.
30/1 Bubba Watson, crowd favorite.
50/1 Jason Day.
40/1 Rickie Fowler.

I googled the Masters odds. I'm not picking Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, both at 10/1. They know the Tiger is back on the prowl and on top of his game. :D

Just pick your golfers before the tournament starts...last year first tee time was 7:50am eastern time...I'll take all entries submitted up to the first tee time...I'll post our daily "scores" after each round...but everyone will be able to see who picked whom on the thread

tigerbot is a no go even though the recent software rehab seems to have took, i think erin may have permanently damaged some circuitry when she rebooted his hard drive with that wedge.
johnson seems a natural pick for chasing little balls around in the grass.
and never bet against a guy named bubba, no matter what game he's playing.

Does this score represent the 2 stroke penalty given to Tiger?

What a royal mess that par 5 turned out to be. Instead of what looked like an easy birdie putt for a 4 if he didn't hit the flag stick, he has to take a triple bogie 8.

Got your course. Rosehearty Links in Scotland. 9 holes, par 62, right on the North Sea, never saw less than a fresh or strong breeze blowing. Usually more like a near gale. Adjust accordingly.

My chances took a major dive today with Mickelson and Keegan Bradley going south in a hurry. Tiger is still around and making a decent showing but he should have been DQ'd. And when he wasn't, he should have DQ'd himself. No class - but the golf world has known that for years. Hoping my sleeper Lee Westwood will do something tomorrow, and McIroy is due for a good round out of four tomorrow, I suppose. I'm out of it with these bums I picked!

tsptalk
04-13-2013, 06:56 PM
I think Bradley is in last place. One of my picks too.

They sure tend to rollover after a bad hole. Bradley, Couples, Dufner, D. Johnson, all collapsed after a bad whole. Such a head game.

In spite of golf lessons the summer of 1950, I don't understand very much golfing stuff ..:laugh:

For example - reading the article on Woods' foul/penalty: Newsroom - 2013 Masters Tournament (http://tinyurl.com/cf5wpnv), what is being referred
when saying his shot #5 wasn't where shot #3 had been made. Apparently a viewer picked up on it to begin
with. :rolleyes:

Rickie Fowler must have caught the bird flu, carded a 78 (+4) today. Took me out of contention (drats). :mad:
