You guys didn't read the rules, did you?

:-P Does it really surprise anyone anymore?

Perhaps they didn't want to "win a Callaway Big Bertha Driver"

I actually want the 3W. :-)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Where does it say you can't select the World's number one and recent winner?

Sure you can pick them, but they will mean nothing as your 2nd and 3rd choices. Your first choice carries all the weight...which means if you choose Adam Scott as a 2nd choice, it will mean nothing because someone has already picked him as their first choice, even if you pick the EXACT score, it will be worth NOTHING.

That's why your 2nd and 3rd choice should be golfers that you believe no one would pick as their first choice.

Still a valid entry, isn't it? Or am I DQ'd. BTW, see what I won last week with my selection of Kaymer?

Cool, huh?

It is valid as in not DQ'd, but you have no chance of winning with your second pick.  As soon as someone picks your second pick as there first (or your third), your picks become irrelevant.  Even if you picked the score right, and they are 5 off, they still win because a higher pick trumps any lower pick regardless of score.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
