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.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
