I recently set up an online PGA Golf Majors Pool at RunYourPool.com. If you are interested in joining the pool, please follow these steps:

4. Once the tournament field has been finalized, enter your picks, with the ability to change them right up until the tournament's first tee time.

For those who haven't checked it out to see how easy it is, you pick one player from each of the 6 tiers. The total score of all 4 rounds is your score, after you drop your worst player's score - so it's the lowest 5 scores (lower is better in golf ) of your 6 players. Easy!

What does the "E" mean under "Total"?

Even.... Shooting par ....

Thank you. :laugh: I know nothing about golf but I like a friendly competition.

I made a last minute change last night from Fowler to Spieth, so I'm pretty sure Fowler will win this now.

:why: We'll see.

Good luck, everyone!

 

[jpcavin]

Yeah, I switched from Jimmy Walker to Kuchar. I kept picturing the skinny guy from Good Times and just couldnt do it.

Fowler double bogeys the 1st, then birdies the next 2 holes. Nice.

Oh man, I wish I had picked some of the ealier players. I can't stand the wait!

 

[tsptalk]

The greens are usually more manageable in the morning so the scores may be better. To make it more fair, the ones who start late today, start early tomorrow. At least I think that is how it works.

 

[jpcavin]

All this time waiting for my guy Mickelson to tee off and he gets +1. I'm getting steamed. :cheesy:

 

[jpcavin]

Wow, looks like the fun just started.

Nice move.

Anyone watching the Masters today? What is going on in Georgia? Why isn't anyone playing as well as yesterday?

 

[jpcavin]

How does scoring work if any(or more than one) of your picks miss the cut?

 

[tsptalk]

The wind is blowing at Augusta keeping the scores up.

I believe I read that if you have more than one person cut (we drop the worst score) you get the same score as the lowest score of the day for that guy.

Congrats to the winners!
I thought I'd never say this but I watched all 4 days and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned plenty so hopefully I won't be asking any stupid questions next year. :cheesy:
I may sign my daughter up with the local First Tee Chapter and see what she thinks. Gymnastics is her passion but it doesn't hurt to make other choices available to her.
