Golf Pool... British Open 2013

Congratulations on the victory. I am a South Paw (Leftie), so always pull for Mickelson. Like him or not, that was an incredible back 9.

Thanks. I've been a Phil fan for about 20 years. The guy is a class act and can flat out play. He's been fun to follow through the years; hopefully, he continue to entertain for another five to ten years. Best round of his career today without a doubt.

if you turn down the prize this time people might start thinking you are a snob.....

I'm not a coffee snob or addict so I don't need the mug. I'm sure it's a nice mug and all, but it's not all that important. Besides, it's just more work for Tom to have to mail it out to me. I'd rather he keep the servers up and running!

Two down, two to go for the career Grand Slam.

if you turn down the prize this time people might start thinking you are a snob.

congratulations. just what kind of dr. are you, and how did you get so good at figuring out who is putting it in the hole any given week?

[rcknfrewld]

maybe Lefty will have enough money for a haircut now

 

[rcknfrewld]

Phil's day.

I hope he wins...what a 3wood on 17 could clinch it with eagle...

 

[rcknfrewld]

Trivia question...what do all of us have in common with the picks we made?

bump

 

[burrocrat]

oh yeah, if theopen.com is correct an the interweb ain't lying, then i'm at 67 right now and my boy's is crushing it.

c'mon coffee mug.

 

[rcknfrewld]

am I the only one that loves the yellow tracker that shows the ball flight...they should have that for every shot

 

[OBGibby]

if Ian Poulter can get to the clubhouse at even he might be holding the Claret Jug come 2:30

Phil's day.

 

[rcknfrewld]

if Ian Poulter can get to the clubhouse at even he might be holding the Claret Jug come 2:30

 

[sdouglas3]

I think it boils down to who can put on the tile floor type greens today!

 

[rcknfrewld]

I'll also prepare an alternate final score spreadsheet with Scrappy's score thoughts to see what the difference is (I suspect not much).

don't do it...keep it simple...next thing you know this will become the LMBF with the many alternative methods

 

[burrocrat]

burro schmurro... I'm the golffather...

i prefer burro churro, because no matter how much you roll me in sugar and cinnamon and stuff me with chocolate, i'll still be a little rough around the edges.

Is Burro the commish?

oh no, i'm not the commish, but i do think i would make a great king of the world. i settle for cheerleader though because i'm good at it and it works for me, plus i like cheerleaders. it's not that i can't conduct myself in polite society, just that i don't conduct myself very well.

go, go, go gaarrrrccciiiaaaaa! hit 'em hard and straight hoy mi primo. all we need is a timely electromagnetic pulse and tigerobot will fold up like the tin man in the wizard of oz.

[rcknfrewld]

burro schmurro... I'm the golffather...I'll allow you to kiss my golf balls and beg for mercy...I have picked Westwood every time until now...for some reason I thought we were in 1995...westwood's ball striking pales to tiger's... and he cannot keep rolling the rock the way he has for the first three rounds...I think -1 wins it which means tiger has to shoot even to win...Im hoping for a
3way(off the course too) playoff between el tigre, el niño, and el pato...the duck is fearless...he's my pick

 

[Scrappy]

posted this in detroit is greece thread by mistake...
what's with golf channel's lame measly half hour "Live from Muirfield" show...they always do 2 hour "Live Froms..." for the majors

Not enough golfers in red numbers for 2 hrs....?

Good luck to all tomorrow. I will be rooting for Westwood even though i didnt pick him, it was a toss up between him and Luke Donald cause i like both golfers.

Who do i file my protest to for slow play extra strokes? Is Burro the commish?
