This game will consist of three periods of play:

  • Period 1: Today through the Valero Texas Open (April 3) - 88 days.
  • Period 2: The Masters through the RBC Canadian Open (June 22) - 81 days.
  • Period 3: The U.S. Open through the Tour Championship (August 28) - 67 days.

Well, since nobody playing remembered this, we'll revise that to this:

  • Period 1: Today through the Masters (April 10) - 95 days.
  • Period 2: The Masters through the RBC Canadian Open (June 22) - 74 days.
  • Period 3: The U.S. Open through the Tour Championship (August 28) - 67 days.

In other words, place your second segment bets (and calculate your current portfolio value) before Sunday.

I’m not sure I understand. What was your portfolio value? Did you lose or gain?

Nobody’s going to check everyone’s math so please show your work.

Do we use the gains from the 1st part?  I did not.   I was up 13.25 over the $100.

Yes, you use the gains from the first part. You're required to. That's why you have to show your work - so you know what your total investment is.

Also, you have to figure out your totals (and show your work) because… we have to award some extra money (that you're then also required to spend):

The winner§ of Periods 1 and 2 will receive a bonus $10 to invest, and second place gets an additional $5. Last place gets an extra $10 as well, with next-to-last getting an extra $5.

So, maybe this just dies, because you're the only person who noticed and attempted to do a little bit, even though the previous segment was supposed to end before the Masters, and none of you noticed.

So, maybe it's just dead.

1 - Rory McIlroy (9): 4 * 6.18 = 24.72

2 - Jordan Spieth (14): 5 * 4.82 = 24.1

3 - Jason Day (126): 30 * 1.31 = 39.3

4 - Taylor Moore (122): 8 * 1.33 = 10.64

$98.76 spent $1.24 rollover

Banking on Jason, he did some swing work this off season and it looks good!

 

4*6.46 + 5*4.06 + 30*1.27 + 8*1.09 = 92.96 + 1.24 = 92.96 + 1.24 = 94.2

This isn’t before Sunday, but oh well. I’ll play for fun. 

Will Zalatoris 3.61 * 10 = 36.1

Hudson Swafford 1.8 * 15 = 27

Jhonatton Vegas 1.62 * 6 = 9.72

Brooks Koepka 4.16. * 5 = 20.8

Total = 93.62, change of 0.58

You still have to recalculate because their values have changed.

No, it's just holding the same stock longer. I suppose since so many people didn't do it, they can just carry it over.

    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
