They can't delete their first post. If they post multiple entries, they're DQed. Them's the rules. You can get your picks in early (putting you earlier in the line, since we're taking the first two people with the correct predictions), or you can wait to gather more information and potentially make a better pick, but you risk having two people post before you with the same pick.

Dustin Johnson just withdrew. Smart people will wait until late Wednesday to make their picks. So will I.

I got a kick out of this:

Apparently three players are going to average 44.75 strokes for four rounds. Or maybe the tournament will be shortened to 54 holes and and these guys are going to shoot at least one round of 59 or better at Augusta National.

Note: this doesn't count as his entry. Entries must be made by people submitting posts themselves, and since he's currently serving time in the Penalty Box and can't post... bummer for him when Hunter Mahan goes around in 43-46-45-45 to win his first major, eh?

Those "smart people" are less likely to be one of the FIRST TWO people to choose a player and his score. For example, the third person to take "Tiger at 273" must be hoping one of the two people before him DQs himself - that's all I can figure.

So I can't change my people once I've posted if one of them say...pulls out with an injury? Lame.

I'm sorry you feel it's lame. I think it's fair to everyone else who follows the rules.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
