Thanks.

Don't think you can change your selection ( :cry: I picked Tiger).

The "strategy" to picking is also pretty clearly stated in the OP.

I can understand just choosing anyone for the 2nd and 3rd option to get it over with.

But the last sentence doesn't make any sense seeing as how you have exactly ZERO chance to win with your 2nd and 3rd pick when you choose popular players.

Once again though, it probably won't matter. I just don't understand why people don't want another chance (albiet small) with someone like David Hearn or Jerry Kelly. At least it's a chance.

Since they've apparently never had to use a second pick, it does not matter. However, saying you picked 3 golfers with a good chance, makes no sense. You might as well could have picked ****ing Hale Irwin or Brandel Chamblee.

Hey, I picked Tom Watson as my third choice in the British Open in the last one. I nailed his final score. That would have been an AWESOME win!!

Rory and Adam Scott are "out" for you as well.

All his choices are out. Someone already has Fowler at 9-under. :-D

    • Day 211: putting work today on my mat. Worked on some feels to get my head to move less. Contact was improving.
    • Day 9: 2/15/2025 Spent several 5-10 minutes sessions today working on what I learned from Yoda yesterday. Pretty much a new priority piece. 
    • Day 25 (15 Feb 25) - A little background on today’s drill session.  On the way to band rehearsal this morning I was listening to the guys on PGA Tour radio in the golf school segment and they got to talking about short game practice.  As I love working that part of the game, my ears perked up.  They were talking taking multiple clubs and doing pitches/chips from the same distance and learning how each flies the ball.  So today was the start of the 8P54 drill (8i - Pw - 54°).   Set it up to hit two balls with each club from the same lie to a set distance.  It really helps envision what I should see in each club.  A sweet new twist to a fave drill.

    • I will most likely buy the TSR1 klineka mentioned, though they didn't respond when I asked the seller if they had the +6 weight. They only said the weight was the standard 9g. I contacted a couple of local pro shops, one said they would call Titleist on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) for me to order a +6 weight, but the one said Titleist wouldn't have it anymore since it's an older model. Anyway, I will probably buy an aftermarket weight from eBay. Any concerns around aftermarket weight on eBay? They are not cheap, like around $15.
