Hi out there. A guy at my home club is running a US Open pool. Here are the rules: pick four golfers and the winner's final score, and the person's team that wins the most combined money wins. The catch is that you can only pick one player from the top 10 in the world golf rankings.

If you were picking for this pool, what would your picks be?

Ping G 410 10.5 ˚ Driver Ping Tour Stiff Shaft
Ping G 410 14.5˚ 3 Ping Tour Stiff Shaft
Ping G 410 19˚ Ping Tour Stiff Shaft
i 500 irons 4-UW 1/2 inch over, blue dot, NS Pro Modus 105 Stiff Shafts
Ping Stealth Wedges Wedges  54˚ 58˚

GoGolfing, I hate to hijack your thread, but I am hoping that I can get some thoughts on my pool as well -- we pick four golfers (all must make the cut) and get points for finishing position against world ranking -- so the idea is to pick at least one longshot in the world rankings to make the cut -- any ideas?


For your pool, I would like the following: Westwood, Ogilvey, Cink, Villegas

We used to do this back in school....pick any 4 sans Tiger. Add up their earnings and subtract 50k if one of your 4 MC's. For the purposes of this discussion, I'd go with:

Philly Mick
Mahan
Ogilvy
Sergio (don't like him per se, but it's about time)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
