Using these odds , let's have a little contest.

You have $100 to spend. You must spend it on three golfers in any distribution.

We'll award multipliers on the odds based on this scale:

1st place: 5x
2nd place: 4x
3rd place: 3x
4th place: 2x
5th place: 1x

If your player isn't in the top five, you lose all your money. I'll try to round up a prize for the winner, but your "bets" have to be in by midnight on Wednesday, EST.

For example, if someone chooses the winner and the fourth-place finisher with $25 bets at 20:1 and 100:1, he earns (20 * 5 * 25) + (100 * 2 * 25) = 25,000 + 5,000 = $3,000.

I have no idea whether this will work or not... My own bets (subject to change prior to the deadline) are:
  • $30 - Tiger Woods (5:1)
  • $30 - Davis Love III (40:1)
  • $40 - Stewart Cink (66:1)
Place your bets, gentlemen (and ladies)!

Let's see here:

$30 on Chris DiMarco (100:1)
$30 on Tiger Woods (5:1)
$40 on Sergio Garcia (33:1)

These picks are definitely subject to change before tomorrow night. Good job on getting the odds, this should be fun. I will definitely be keeping DiMarco at 100:1, but I don't know as far as the other two picks go.

Maybe. But that's not golf-related... We'll see.

I would have been a rich man in Vegas this week. I couldn't believe DiMarco was 100:1, I was taking that one for sure.

By the way, what a tournament!! That was absolutely golf at its best coming down to a duel of two great golfers.

I have to admit, I was wanting DiMarco to win very badly, and it had nothing to do with this betting competition. But Tiger just got it done again..

Great stuff.

I love the Masters. I love to watch it wether it's a blowout or a duel to the end. I always end up saying "wow that was cool."

DiMarco came through on that final 18. Had he not shot a 41 on his back 9 of the 3rd round, Ping might have some bragging rights. Instead it's Nike....again.

      Playing With Irons

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
