But I got the usual as above as well as the ever familiar and undying claims that a new golfer is gonna win multiple majors because he’s having a moment at The Masters ( Zalatoris).

I think if you glued Zalatoris and the tour rookie Charles Howell III together you'd barely get a 200 lb. man.

David Duval seems to think he could walk along the practice area and fix every golfer’s swing. Lol....poor bastards.

I just figured out how he could resurrect his playing career, but it requires a lot of people to cooperate.  If he does this at the next UKBO, and everyone listens to his suggested swing changes, he could win a second major, which he could follow up with additional wins at the other majors he's then invited to because of this, leading to a huge next swing of his career.

The My Group feature on the site is pretty cool. It suggests choosing 6 players and then it cues up the video as it become available. There is a little delay as each shot is cued, but it basically works. If there are no shots available among your choices, it'll pick someone.

This is how the selections have been picked for The Masters winner. I do see a slight problem in that two people picked JS at -14 . From what @iacas mentioned, if I am not mistaken, there can only be one selection for a particular golfer with reference to their final score? I noticed Darkfrog selected JS first at -14. Check out all the selections below:

 

Colins69                Tony Finau -11

phillyk                    Patrick Canlay -11
ncates00               Patrick Cantlay -13

nevets88               Rory McIlroy -12
pganapathy            Rory McIlroy -17

Darkfrog               Jordan Spieth -14

DewSweeper09    Justin Thomas -9
Birdieputt              Justin Thomas -13
Billy Z                    Justin Thomas -14

Zippo                     Bryson DeChambeau -11

Check out Laird’s third shot on 18.

Quite impressive.

Looks like @onthehunt526 and I made the same pick (true I was first though), but Jordan needs to go on a run if he's going to get to -14 and win.

My fault, he came to me for a putting lesson and I taught him everything I know.

My set top box died on me, my OTA antenna only works for the small tv, found out I could stream the broadcast on my phone and Airplay it to the big tv. Had no idea I could do that. Thought I was going to do a trial period of YouTube Live or something. The picture is probably better quality than the set top box (FIOS).

If it was really windy, they’d half to put a weight belt on Zalatoris to keep him from blowing away!

Xander with an eagle to take a share of the lead! 😄 

And Rose with a birdie to reclaim the lead right after.

And Matsuyama with an eagle to take it over both of them.  Xander right back to two back seconds after an eagle to take a share of the lead. 

Jim Nantz tells me the sequence I described above was all of 90 seconds.

After Hideki's second shot on #18, I really wish I had his composure.  Obviously he is better than I am at all aspects of golf, but after hitting out of a bunker and well past the green, the look on his face said "finally, I have an interesting third shot on one of these holes.  It's been a while."  Of course he'd rather have a short putt (or have sunk his second), but that's far better than how a lot of players react, especially those of us who aren't likely to ever compete at Augusta. 

Justin Rose just had a great reaction to a par save on #14 too.  Like something out of a video game.

And what a great chip by Matsuyama at 18.

I feel like I knew a lot more about him at one point but I can't remember offhand.  I don't remember having a dislike of him though.

Zalatoris isn’t cursing and slamming his club into the ground when he misses a shot. He’ll never make it on the tour.

    • 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.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
