Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Still lots of good first picks out there.

Tiger is locked up from +1 to -14, with 5 duplicate picks (and 4 inexplicable 2nd picks).

Graeme is taken at -13, -7, and -5 (with 1 duplicate pick).

Kuch is taken at -5, -4, and E.

Sneds is taken at -9, -8, and -6.

Rose is taken at -9, -6, and -5.

Rory is taken at -8, -7.

Strick is taken at -4 and E.

I'm surprised that there aren't more wasted Tiger picks--we're doing fairly well this time.  Looking forward to next weekend!

Since I know more people are still going to pick Tiger, I'll give you guys a hint: go higher, not lower. 15-under would be 265 over 72 holes, three shots less than Rory's record from 2011, and a full seven strokes fewer than anyone else in Open history. 2-5 shots over par is more plausible.

[QUOTE name="cabelly" url="/t/67476/2013-us-open-prediction-contest-with-iliac-golf-by-bert-lamar/54#post_852357"] Sorry, Shaggie13.  I didn't look at other posters before making my picks.  At least our 2nd pick differs. [/QUOTE] You're completely missing the point. Not only was somebody on the board with that score with your first pick, you used your second and third picks on players who multiple users have already chosen as their first pick, immediately after a post that summarized the players and scores already taken.

Congratulations, you wasted your entire entry!

Not that I don't think it is a noble cause (helping others pick correctly), but why even bother anymore?  The rules are clearly written at the beginning of the thread.  If someone can't take the time to read them, they don't deserve to win.

True, but for someone like myself, I didn't pick to win. I picked what I actually thought. If I win? Cool beans. But I'm not gonna go through every post to find out who or what score wasn't picked.

I never read ANY posts AFTER the 1st page of this thread.  Just because my picks has the time stamp after the summary, I can see your point and understand your angst.  But I honestly feel like Rose is going to win and just happened to like -5, and if I wanted to increase my chances trust me...I wouldn't have picked the same score as a previous poster(s).

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
