Disagree. I think that we, as group, are moving towards being less exclusionary not more so.

I could suggest that only Forum Leaders can enter but how uncool would that be!

If a newbie wins, more power to him.

Yeah, disagree ... and agree with Ernest ... I would imagine that a big reason for these contests is to grow the site membership, and this rule change would defeat that purpose and make the site more incestuous.

Guys, I understand what you are saying, I was just raising a point in an effort to raise the question for the betterment of the site and forums (I'm still new and don't know where to direct that info).  Out of respect for the winner, and the site, I'm not trying to get a response or hijack the thread - I will not be responding to any feedback on my suggestion, for that's all it was.

Congrats again to River Forest Kid  - Great Pick!

Congrats also to Jgreen!  So close!!!

The winner needs to claim his prize or we'll have to award it to the second-place finisher.

Darn, I was hoping for a Lottery Draw of the entries..... if the prize was unclaimed...........

At least I'd have a better chance than my sorry A's picks............

You mean Jonas Blixt and Jordan Spieth will get the driver?

It may show up at your doorstep someday when you least expect it if you won............

Or, you can read the threads and find out who the winner was.

I'll give you a hint - @RiverForestKid was the winner...............

Thanks for the info on who won, I'll keep looking on my doorstep just in case.


I tried to suggest Eric to have a lottery draw if @RiverForestKid doesn't claim his winnings.

Then maybe all of us would have a second chance !!!!

Which would have been a better chance than most of our picks........... :beer:

It could show up at anyone's doorstep then if he kept it a secret.........

The guy who picked Bubba at -9 is next in line.

As I said to you when you PMed me about this same topic… post elsewhere. Stick around. Use the forum.

And if I understand how tiebreakers work - and I'd like to think I do - the guy who picked Zach Johnson at -12 would be next in line.

Whoever that may be.

@RiverForestKid is going to think he's really having a bad week when he comes out of surgery and finds out he lost his appendix and his driver at the same time. :-D

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
