Congrats.

Bad news was I was disqualified because I didn't say 7 words....and I'm assuming I would have won since I was the first to pick Rory and had him at -17. I'm sick as sick can be over that. Not happy, but accept it.

Good news......I won $250 because I put some $$$ down on Rory pre-tourney.

That's not the full story. You changed your entry too. And got a PM about it. Congrats on your $250.

Bad news for @saevel25 is the driver does not come in OSU colors!   Congrats!

Way to go @Yukari !

I would ask that both of you write a nice review in the Equipment section on these clubs.  We need more reviews for clubs.

Seconded. And post some great pictures of your clubs and your smiling faces here in this thread.

Mike can then add them to the first post and congratulate you on your win.

I third the notion and I'm sure both guys will write up some great reviews.

This should be an added requirement for any members of the site partaking in the contest moving forward as well. Though we probably shouldn't make it a "requirement" for obvious reasons as there can't be any takesy-backsies. I mean everyone reading this should just make a mental note and be aware that a review would be a simple way to say "thank you" by contributing to the site and community that allowed them the opportunity to win something.

Congratulations, guys! :beer:

Congrats - I just needed better Open weather (meaning rain/wind) to get my Rory -8 pick, or for Francesco play 10 shots better on Saturday.

Oh well, I'm sure I will enjoy my Bridgestone golf balls after the PGA!

Players play, tough players win!

That was a really tough break for you.

I saw that you had forgotten, and then I noticed that you made an edit where you used the phrase that pays, but you changed your scores of the second and third picks, though you kept Rory at -17.

As I said, a tough break, but they have to run a fair contest.

It really was a remarkable guess on your part, though.

Way to pick 'em, guys.

I never dreamed the scoring would be so low.

Enjoy those great new clubs.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
