Sorry to use you as an example, but really? REALLY?

Tiger has already been chosen as the first pick by a couple people, so if he wins they will win even if they have the score completely wrong and you have it right. You completely wasted your second choice, and in all reality probably the third one as well as I'm sure somebody is likely to pick Rickie with either their first or second choice.

First choice - who you think will win

Second choice - kind of a surprise pick... who you think has a chance but nobody is really thinking of

Third choice - complete surprise if they win

Remember if you take somebody with your second pick and they are picked with somebody else's first pick (or you use your third pick and somebody picks them with either their first or second pick) than you can't win with that one....

I hope that makes sense.

As must be stated at the onset of every major tournament, wasting one's picks on Tiger Woods is a time-honored Predictions Contest tradition. I only get into the mood for major golf once somebody does it.

I'm guilty of this and realized it only after reading the rules AFTER I posted my picks. I facepalmed. Now I'm really pulling for Luke Donald to win as he is my only viable chance at winning.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      No rain while I was out (9am to 11:30am). Fairly pleasant for a late November day in the Mitten.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲
