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)

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
