Deadline for picks is Thursday at 6 AM ET. Good luck!

[rcknfrewld]

4 out of 5 is the way to go because if we pick more we are going to end up picking the same players...but I think that anyone who misses the cut should have a worse score than the last place guy...I guess it won't matter because if you have more than 1 guy miss the cut you probably won't win...I'm just worried if after the cut the weather turns awful and the scores balloon up to where they finish behind the ones who miss the cut...


you said by 4...do you mean multiply their score by 2....+12 x 2=24. or extrapolate their score by giving them the same score they received the first two days for the next two days

[burrocrat]

i think the thread title is wrong, shouldn't it be called the 'obgibby cup'?

[rcknfrewld]

I'm going to fabricate a public scandal involving Obgibby so life shattering that he will go into "self" imposed rehab and will no longer have any game left...just like tiger

[tsptalk]

you said by 4...do you mean multiply their score by 2
Yes, thanks. Corrected.

Trying some New Rules:

Pick 5 golfers... Lowest 4 player total score wins (relative to par).

If you have players that miss the cut, multiple their 2 day score by 2 to get their total.

Example: A player misses the cut after Round 2 at +12... Their total score is +24.

Let's see how this goes.


So we'll see how this goes, and if it doesn't work out, we'll go back to standings position instead of score.

Next year I'd really like to incorporate the odds list to encourage bonus points for picking long shots that do well. It will widen the number of players selected so we're not all picking the top 10 players in the world.

[rcknfrewld]

I thought about incorporating the odds as well...we could go off the odds ebb posts for all the golfers...for ex. Ernie Els is 66 to 1 to win the PGA...if he makes the cut you would get 66 pts...after the first two rounds are completed and the cut is established we could go off the new odds established for the last two rounds...if Ernie is now 15 to 1 to win...this is where I am stuck...only one person can win so odds are hard to work in from here

Im starting this off as i have previous posts. There are many ways to skin the cat. Whatever is picked for each event works for me. At the same time, i dont see why you want to manipulate cut players Friday scores by multplying or adding strokes in any way? They are cut and so too should the person playin in the pool. If you dont go into Saturday with 4 players, you didnt make the cut. Just like real golf.

If you go back and look at the British final scores, i believe approximately 31 players who missed the cut would have been a better pick in our pool than picking the golfer who made the cut and came in last place. This is based on our current rule of multiplying a cut persons final score relative to par by 2.
Should a person who only has 3 picks who make the cut do better than a person with 4 picks who made the cut?

It may be mathmatically possible for a person to have 2 picks outta 5 miss the cut and still win but i dont think it will ever happen so why track their other 3 picks over the weekend?

[tsptalk]

My biggest concern wasn't about winning and losing. It's someone being out of the contest before the weekend even starts. Kind of kills the reason for the contest, which to me is a reason to watch the tourny. :)

Like I said, we'll reevaluate. I may have it wrong.

[rcknfrewld]

to avoid complaints and confusion if a player misses the cut, he will not count...if you don't have 4 out of 5 players who make the cut tough luck you should have picked 4 who did make the cut...if you are out of our pool by the end of Friday, tough luck that's the way it goes...place some bets with your bookie over the weekend to keep your interest...you might win some money but not a tsp mug...if you want you can always make your own tsp talk participation ribbon and hang it on your fridge if that makes you feel better...stop whining and make better picks...if you make poor stock picks and lose money it's your own fault...deal with it

[rcknfrewld]

the golf is on TNT from 1-7pm E

Fair enough,
I figured that was the case and why I suggested allowing best 4 of 7 instead of best 4 of 5. Make it so that it is almost impossible for someone to miss the cutt.
Implementing that suggestion would create multiple people potentially pickinig the same some ten pga golfers, there would be a requirement for numerous tie breaker meathods or a limit to how many times the same golfer could be picked. (like in fantasy golf).

The options and possibilities of how to accomplish having a pool are pretty much limitless. You are doing a good job of stating the rules and going with it. I think that is great. But If the primary goal is to have people, (yourself included) wathching golf over the weekend, we could just make our picks on Friday after the cut and everyone would be in the pool. You could also send out a mug to everyone who participates no matter what the rules are or how good their picks were..................:laugh:
FWM might even get in the pool. :blink:

Figured i would put this out there. Hope I got them all listed correctly.

what? are you a teacher? this is golf not public education. sometimes the slow kids deserve to miss the cut. or as rknwrfld says 'tough luck'.

CORRECTION:

Looks like there's been a takeover on the "cut" rule. We'll go back to the old rules for that, which I guess means we'll use the position and not score since the old rule says:

"missed cut equals 10 more points than last place finish after cut."

Sorry for the confusion.

You are preaching to the choir with me. I am not advocating for a "no pool participant left behind" policy or PGA golf tournaments where everyone makes the cut and gets a trophy...............;)
If Tom wants us all to make the cut and send us all a mug, that is up to him. :)

[tsptalk]

No, it was my fault for hijacking the pool.

Tom as the founding father of this pool we ARE going back to the original cut rules but we ARE going by the score in relation to par not place finish...much easier to do in your head...we would have the same winners

[tsptalk]

OK with me. But how will the cut players' score work now? (the old was +10 in position)

Thanks

[rcknfrewld]

OK with me. But how will the cut players' score work now? (the old was +10 in position)

Thanks

Just add 10 to final score...+12 last place would be +22 for cut player...we all get the same score for a cut player so the +10 is arbitrary...but the penalty for missing the cut must be penal

[tsptalk]

OK, so here are the final rules for the PGA Championship:

Pick 5 golfers.

Lowest 4 player total score wins (relative to par).

If you have players that miss the cut, their final score will be 10 strokes higher than the last place player who made the cut.

Sorry for the confusion.

Good luck to gronk and anybody and everybody who wants to enter and make picks at any time and everybody else already in.
I have made suggestions and thrown out ideas for possible improvement but its not my pool. I dont manage it, or enforce the rules of it.

Ok ok. One more suggestion. Tom, or OB, or rckn pick numerous groups of 5 golfers using a random number generator. We all pick a letter out of a hat that determines our group of 5. If any of our picks miss the cut, BONUS, subtract 30 strokes.

Keep calm and carry on. This is only a for fun pool!
And i am having fun!

[rcknfrewld]

you can give some people a $100 bill and they would complain that they wanted five $20's instead
check out when gronk made his picks and the tee times...
your suggestions lowered the standards and skill level to win...

[burrocrat]

some people take golf very seriously.

whenever i get frustrated on the links i just wrap whoevers clubs i borrowed that days five iron around the nearest tree and head for the clubhouse. usually everybody is far enough ahead on the fairway they can't get back to the cart in time and i'm gone. by the time they finish their hike i'm a good three beers in and not angry anymore and they are pretty thirsty so it works out ok. this one's on me.

[OBGibby]

Have I won yet?

[burrocrat]

so let me see if i can handle this new dumb math:

-3 m kuchar
-2 j rose
-1 s garcia
-0 b watson
+2 d johnson

so my best four = -6, cool. you guys are gonna lose.

[OBGibby]

Haven't quite figured out what the rules are now.

[rcknfrewld]

Haven't quite figured out what the rules are now.

you take the first three holes of your last three golfers add them with the second worst scores on the even numbered holes following of course the first three,multiply the even numbered handicapped holes by the odd numbered ones,square that number then add up all the letters in just your golfers first names in relation to their numerical sequence, subtract the total putts for the golfers who have 2 vowels,y counts only if he is left handed, only for the front nine, take the total number of bunker shots played by those who wore oakleys and the number of hazard penalties, lateral only, taken by the golfers over 6 ft tall, divide that by the weight of the other tsp talk pool participants opposing caddies weight,not your own, multiple the number of times tiger dropped the gd blast by the number of knuckles lefty gave out today, now, this part is important, obviously the number needs to be rounded up to the nearest hundredth, take the number of fairways hit by just your golfers divided by the number of missed greens in regulation by just the European field, that number is to be squared then added to the exact time of the weather delay in seconds not minutes, now take all the scores write them down backwards and in a random order...every other number you have written down is to be whited out let stand for two minutes as to be fully dry...whatever you do dont blow on it it needs to air dry...where was I sorry...

[burrocrat]

i'm just glad the scoring is simple enough to do on my fingers so obgibby can't cheat the win with his spreadsheet magic no more.

i am at -6, right? right?

[rcknfrewld]

Im doing the f'n scores now I hate golf

[tsptalk]

i am at -6, right? right?
You're right. Now multiple that by... ah, forget it. :)

[burrocrat]

Im doing the f'n scores now I hate golf

you could always take up 'picking' (yard saleing) as a hobby. i cruise around saturday mornings looking for golf bags with signs on them in people's driveways. they are almost always not a complete set so they often will part with the five iron for a few bucks is all. then the wife usually comes out at that point and says something like 'oh hell, just take the whole dam bag, please'.

keep a few five irons in the trunk of your car for those inevitable bad rounds where you end up at the clubhouse early. i gaurantee you if you meet the remaining three of your foursome at the 18th green with a five iron in one hand, three beers in the other, and a crazy jack nicholson grin on your face they will almost always choose the beers and call it even.

[Scrappy]

Funny, like beauty, is in the eyes and ears of the beholder. Contraire, my humor is not based on a false premise. It is not based on any premise and i never ever ever protest too much but i am now playing the PGA pool under protest. If Jim Furyk loses, i want my entry fee back and apologies from you for continously insulting me!
:D
Good luck to all in the pool!

Stop being a pain in the arse

please finish up the ciphering so i can know if i'm winning before everybody starts airing their hateful grudge.

tom is a poker player and this is dam near a fouled deck. we got folks sitting down at the table after the antes have been paid, everybody complaining about about their hands they have or haven't got dealt, and if youns don't shut it then my 5 aces ain't gonna be no good.

i'm winning until somebody invents a spreadsheet that disproves it so eat it.

Stay thirsty my friend...
Burro, im Drivin to Oklahoma tomorrow to celebrate my next to last furlough vacation.
Playin golf on Saturday with golfers who enjoy my humor. Will be trying to figure out who my other four picks are gonna be for the pool before 5PM Sunday.
If i win i will send you the mug but i need the lid.
Asta le bye bye.;)
I almost forgot, you interested in crashing a family reunion next month?

am i going to have to take a paternity test again? i'm ok with the tater salad and flies, but when aunt nancy starts telling those old rope swing swimmin hole stories i still get a nervous tick.

on a side note, if one of them three jokers on the 18th starts mouthin off just wiggle the five iron a little bit and tell him he's got 100 yards or ten seconds, whichever comes first and pretend to step in his direction. if he's smart he'll take off straight down the fairway because everbody knows you always slice the irons right off into the rough.

WOW! You really do have trouble keepin the scores. (humor) If i really had Furyk, which i dont, i would only be at -4 based on the scores below not -5. (not humor) Now im protesting your scorekeeping. (humor) Who knows what everbody else really has. (not humor) Let me guess, you work for the gov......somewhere in finance? (sarcasm) :blink:

Im just not feelin it....shame or guilt. But i am feeling pretty confident about my next pick. Yeah, i was a little hesitant but go ahead and swap out Luke Donald with Adam Scott. Also, Can i swap Adam back out by 5PM Sunday deadline or was that a one time deal? :toung:

no, you may not. and you are at +2 with your original johnson pick i think. quit furyking around with the game of kings. everybody knows golf is about giving middle aged men in plaid pants something to watch in between cadillac commercials. get with the program.

well i'm always amazed at how quickly a gentleman's discussion of sport can degenerate into a disturbing social study. some random observations:

the psychologist in me immediately notices the prevelance of agressive words like 'never' 'don't' 'hit' 'penalty' 'beating' 'charge' and 'no'. but that braincracking headshrinking doublespeak don't make no money honey so i usually just let it go.

dude, i am the e-pitty-me of the low information crowd, don't marginalize my fraternity or i might go greek on the course.

tom may not say it, but not because he's too nice. the man used to work for the irs and plays poker so i have full confidence in his risk-reward analysis and judgement in deciding when to tighten the fingers around the esophagus. that may not always make him friends but it often enhances his equity position.

this thread got shut down already once on wednesday night, let's see if we can keep it open until at least sunday afternoon.

i'm off work and have lots of time on my hands. other than the annual prostate exam my schedule is wide open. today is not a good day to furyk with me. nothing personal.

:rolleyes:

[rcknfrewld]

bumping this for any more rules inquiries


you take the first three holes of your last three golfers add them with the second worst scores on the even numbered holes following of course the first three,multiply the even numbered handicapped holes by the odd numbered ones,square that number then add up all the letters in just your golfers first names in relation to their numerical sequence, subtract the total putts for the golfers who have 2 vowels,y counts only if he is left handed, only for the front nine, take the total number of bunker shots played by those who wore oakleys and the number of hazard penalties, lateral only, taken by the golfers over 6 ft tall, divide that by the weight of the other tsp talk pool participants opposing caddies weight,not your own, multiple the number of times tiger dropped the gd blast by the number of knuckles lefty gave out today, now, this part is important, obviously the number needs to be rounded up to the nearest hundredth, take the number of fairways hit by just your golfers divided by the number of missed greens in regulation by just the European field, that number is to be squared then added to the exact time of the weather delay in seconds not minutes, now take all the scores write them down backwards and in a random order...every other number you have written down is to be whited out let stand for two minutes as to be fully dry...whatever you do dont blow on it it needs to air dry...where was I sorry...

[Scrappy]

Crappy is at -5 burro...yes he may have Furyk...cheaters never win in the long haul..

Rckn, you keep intermixing a golf pool with real golf and still insulting me by calling me a cheater?
How do you cheat in a golf pool......unless your running it?
Other than you insulting me continously, this aint no dead horse, its a legit question.

I know he was joking...every one of his posts is about that though..tell him to give it a rest...I'm not harping on it I gave him Furyk to shut him up...I let Gronk in because it would irritate him and it did...I know his kind like the back of my hand

[Scrappy]

The guy was joking. Give it a rest.

Ok Tom.
Will b rested.
But for the record, i have zero concern about when anyone made their picks including gronk.
As for asking for Furyk, you took it as a joke and replied humorously with the Sunday at 5PM rule.
Rckn admits he responded out of spite to be irritating.
This is a for fun pool. Give me a break! The sheriff needs to lighten up a bit and have some fun without being spitefull and continously insulting.

BTW while your here, can i have my 87 I fund, 13 C fund back that i had before Wednesdays ITF? :cool:

if you dish it out you better learn to take it...you masked your insults to me by using stupid smiley faces and redundant so called humour...I knew adding Gronk would irritate you and you only...no one else complained or harped on it like you did...I'm done with you can't waste my time with a low information skull full of mush like you...I'm imposing a DQ for myself for poor sportsmanship but I will keep track of the pool results, hopefully it won't be shut down

the judges will rule on that later, except one disqualified himself and the other is on vacation in oklahoma (who goes to oklahoma for vacation anyways that's just sad), so uh, that would be a no.

[burrocrat]

so when i made the screen grab from the laptop it looked ok. and when i viewed the post on the laptop it looked ok. but after i packed the laptop back up and put it in the shed my phone only displays about half of tom1's winning score. maybe i'll get it right next time. in case anybody was wondering, tsptalk is tied with tom1 for the win and everybody alphabetically to the right of that is currently a loser.

[grandma]

thank you....
( ...the right or the left, or on either side? )

[burrocrat]

thank you....
( ...the right or the left, or on either side? )

i meant to the right of tom1 (which includes tsptalk - tied at 14 under, and wvango at 10 under). but this brings up some interesting display questions.

on my laptop i can see the whole image, but on my phone the post is truncated in the middle of tom1 and tsptalk and wvango don't show and i can't scroll right to see it. grandma you also use a mobile device, does your image get cut off and if so where? at tom1 or somewhere else? can you scroll or rotate screen to see the rest? i wonder if someone on a computer with a not widescreen monitor gets the same cutoff but can scroll to see it? my samsung III only gets the cutoff version.

[burrocrat]

since nobody wants to talk to me about golf i guess i'll just talk to myself about spreadsheets, it's one of our favorite subjects.

testing testing 1 2 3

24833

[burrocrat]

nope, that didn't work.

inserting the actual spreadsheet just shows me a link not the represented data. and there goes my source code now, on the internet for free.

[burrocrat]

testing testing 1 2 4

24834

[burrocrat]

ok, much better, screen grab at 75% zoom shows in full on my phone.

i made some changes because i saw that i was counting 5 scores for rcknwrfled instead of 4, put him at -11 the first time instead of 13 tied with me, purely unintentional i assure you.

so i went with a color separation, but still prone to manual error. green-yellow-red progression from green good winner to yellow caution player still in but don't count score to red bad penalty we got to count your cut. with blue benign counted in the total and orange benign cut but not counted inserted in between.

does anybody know a formula how to make msexcel count only the four highest values in a range? then i wouldn't have to manually give the 5th score a # disqualifier to eliminate it from the calculation.

[burrocrat]

ooops, testes testes 1 2 5.

i see i had some other problems with the last version too: red penalty was wrong it's cut score plus ten i think, and wvango's snedecker score cell didn't have a right border. ok, good to go now.

24835

i even have round 3 version ready, i wish those priveledged 1% golfers would get their donkey's out on the course and start smackin some balls already this morning, i can't hardly wait for my new mug.

[burrocrat]

well it's been fun talking spreadsheets with you burro, we should get together again sometime.

[grandma]

Yes ..how about later this evening? LOL.
Thank you for a very colorful and easily understood graph..... Thanx bc

[burrocrat]

dang it, spotted another mistake. donald l is listed as a golfer but has no score. but somebody had to pick him or else i wouldn't have typed his name in that column. so who picked him and how does whatever his score is affect our tsptalk rankings?

stupid human deficiencies, i can't wait until machines rule the world then this kind of stuff wouldn't happen. i'm going to come back as an elin nordgren robot and beat the crap out of tiger again. he deserves it for that whole repeatedly dallying in the porn star flesh error. but she messed him up good at least, no matter how they upgrade the program his circuitry appears permanently damaged and unable to produce at unpredictable times. plus it makes for great tv, gotta have a villan.

once again i blew it, great at the inspiration process but poor on the execution stage, it's been a problem my whole life. some things you just can't change. god grant me the serentity, and i'll take another helping of forgiveness too if that's still free.

[burrocrat]

so the analytical side of me can finally digest the score distribution information and there is some interesting stuff in that chart.

no tsptalkers got penalized for having to include a cut golfer in their top 4 score. i don't know what that says about tsptalkers. maybe we're so freakin smart it just don't occur to us to bet on losing horses. or maybe we're so conservative that we as a group only will sign off when there is little risk. solve and apply that dynamic and i bet our budget deficit goes away.

10 of 13 tsptalkers picked both tiger woods or phil mickelson. even though phil was so high for a week after his last win he had to scurry up the steps at the clubhouse in flip flops just to barely register or miss this tourney at the last minute. and tiger has never been the same after his wife finally had enough of him screwing porn stars all the time. now i don't know about you, but there is no way either oak hill or the public would let me get away with running around late in flip flops with whores all the time, let alone my exwife, so there is something wrong with this picture. and yet 77% of us chose at least one, and 62% chose both of them.

despite the mickelson/woods meltdowns it doesn't seem to matter. our lowest loser ecougar @ +1, and tom1 & tsptalk @ -14 our highest winners have both brats in their stable. what does that say?

i do agree that we should include a point incentive for selecting the underdogs in future contests because i hold neither crook in my hand for moral reasons and if it weren't for the golden boys and their free pass my band of misfits would be kicking butt. same as it ever was.

[burrocrat]

well, this kinda sucks. unless your name is wvango.

24837

[burrocrat]

i hate it when that happens.

ok then, we're 3 rounds in, i've been paying close attention for 2 of them, and i've got the spreadsheet wrong about 8 times, so i must be batting oh, uh, well, anyways i tried. sorry 'bout your luck scrappy.

24841

i think we've got a good format for this type of scoring model, it's just that i suck at data entry. but my boss could've told you that a long time ago. at least they keep paying me, even if it is just out of sympathy.

i'll upload the actual spreadsheet too so somebody else could take it over if they want. and if i win it should definately be double checked. again.

24843

[burrocrat]

if dufner, scott, and westwood all have a bad day and none of my boys mess up then i'm a shoe in for the obgibby cup. plus i've got my tiger woods voodoo doll and some used shishkabob skewers from last night's bbq ready in case he gets uppity.

[OBGibby]

I'm more of a fan of the original scoring method. (And no, I'm not sour because I'm not going to win again this week) Easier to keep track of the scores and takes the outliers out of the equation (player who mails it in and posts some large numbers, and the run-away win by ten strokes victories).

[tsptalk]

Just playing devil's advocate to the runaway winner score issue...

When you go by position, it could have the opposite effect. If you have someone who's tied for 6th with 7 people, and he drops a stroke, he drops to 13th place, instead of being one shot behind them.

Also, if you have a situation where, say you have the leader and he's up by 10 strokes (as opposed to being by 1 over the person in 2nd) you can get away with someone like Phil Mickelson who blows up and shoots a +14.

[burrocrat]

well, unless zack johnson and westwood can pick up 6 strokes on scott then this one is a walkaway for tsptalk, at least he'll save money on the shipping.

24852

[burrocrat]

congratulations to tsptalk for an impressive win. also to wvango the only other tsp'er to come in under par, and to rcknwerlfd for a decent 3rd place finish.
