I actually won the free contest last week for the Shell Open With them. Beat out almost 3000 ppl. Won $50 ,letting it ride in the Masters contest.

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.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
