I usually put down a $3.00 team for each tourney (cheap I know)

I'm doing pretty well this year but don't think I'm lucky enough for the millionaire maker so I put down 6 different squads at $3 instead of 1 shot @ $20. I like my chances better that way, plus It will be hard for me to be totally out of it by Friday afternoon :)

The Masters is the tourney I book off work to watch and usually try to catch every single minute, to me it's like 4 days of Christmas :)

Congrats, I didn't see the free one ? Dam...  I was trying hard to get into the 5300.00 entry fee contest. I am in, several times, probably go in a total of 10 times for 200.00

I won a 181 player and it paid 300... Had you entered a real contest with 3000 people, you do know, you would have most likely won 15K ? 1st place out of 3000 people is awesome....

for the most part to win in the $10-$15 thousand range on a $2-$3 bet, there is close to 100k people in the contest. Seems almost impossible to me to win. But someone does.

I like the 27$ buy in.... I noticed a 20$ one this past weekend that had a guy in first place  - 24th place after round one.  Those were his 45th - 60 plus entries. People are playing huge bucks on this stuff... Strange to look up and see a name like firstshot (1) firstshot (34) and so on. Kind of crazy and those guys are addicted. There are people making a living off of the other sports.

Entered. I think if you put $25 in, you get $25 free (they match from $25 up to $600 it seems).

Entered. 7 1/2 more hours to get your picks in.

What!? I checked last night and they were sold out. Didn't get in :-(

Can't believe I waited till last minute. Oh well.

This would have been my lineup. I hope they get mediocre points so I can just say...well didn't matter anyway!

Edit: I just entered the $400k one, 1st place wins $100,000. It's not 1 mill...but its fun nonetheless.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
