Golf Pool - Player's Championship

[tsptalk]

Since we had so much fun with the recent Master's Pool (http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/site-news-announcements/16086-masters-golf-pool.html), I figured we better start one for this week's Player's Championship.

We'll use the same rules that rcknfrewld gave us for the Master's.


...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...


Since we are getting a late start, we'll use 11 AM ET on Thursday as the deadline... which is a few hours into the start of the tournament.

A Travel Mug is up for grabs to the winner.

Good luck!

This tournament is considered the 5th major, so the best players are playing. We may not have enough folks participating, but chances of winning are better. :D

Just in case this game is a go, my picks are:

Tiger Woods
Rory McIlroy
Phil Mickelson
Justin Rose
Ernie Els

Less stress to win this, so I have Rory and Phil being themselves. I here Rory missed his last three cuts playing here (expect a turnaround). Can't go against the revitalized Tiger. :D

Standings after day #1. see attached:

You may want to double check your numbers.

[tsptalk]

Hey rcknfrewld. What happens to the players' score if they miss the cut?

[rcknfrewld]

add on 10 pts to the last place finish of those who make the cut...last place is I think 77th place so a player missing cut would get 87 pts/place...a guy missing the cut is no big deal cause you can toss him out...just don't have two golfers missing the cut like me...you are officially Bernanked then.

[tsptalk]

...just don't have two golfers missing the cut like me...you are officially Bernanked then.
How about 3? All 3 by a total of 4 strokes. :sick:

Three of my golfers missed the cut (Ernie Els, Justin Rose, Phil Mickelson).

Did worse than Bernankeed, I was Buttafuocoed! :laugh:

[rcknfrewld]

Evenflow...stick to what you know best, the markets...am willing to trade golf lessons for market lessons though

[Sensei]

Yes! First place!

[rcknfrewld]

just eyeballed third round results from Tom's attach. to see who won...eccougar appears to have won...too tired to get pen and paper right now to figure it out...I'm going to bed...if there is no final results posted here by morning when I get up, I'll do it

[tsptalk]

Yup, that's what I get. I guess the high score doesn't win?

Nice job eccougar! PM me your shipping info for a travel mug.

Thanks for playing, everyone!

[ebbnflow]

Congrats to eccougar, our golf pool winner!

And, congrats to Tiger Woods for getting his mojo back. He surely was lost without his integrity. :)
