Which clearly shows that you really didn't read the initial post completely, if at all....

Details regarding the red, underlined rule:

- It's very simple guys. The winner is the first person (who satisfies the other rules) to choose the correct winner and score with their first choice. If nobody picks the correct score, the winner is the first person to have the closest score for the correct winner. If nobody chose the correct winner with their first choice, we repeat the process for everyone's second choice, and then the third.

- In other words, if someone chooses Joe Smith for their first choice - at any score - and you choose him for your second choice, you've wasted your choice. Additionally, if someone chooses Joe Smith at -2 for their first choice, it makes no sense to choose Joe Smith at -2 for any of your choices if you're posting after that entry (unless the person is DQed or ineligible, of course).

- Think of your picks like draft picks. Your second and third choices should be someone you don't think will be chosen in the first "round."

Of course, if Spieth wins at -16, you're a genius!

I'm thinking about having a second/concurrent contest in which you can guess what % of the guesses made are "good" picks (meaning picks that follow the format rules, picks where the 2nd or 3rd pick have not been picked by others with a 1st or 2nd pick)....my off the cuff guess would be under 50%, maybe around 37.5%.

The grand prize would be 1 mulligan for the first place guesser, and 1 gimmie to the 2nd place guesser.

Right around 50% right now.

Right you can't win the first place prize but you could win the second place prize when we offer them. Or if the guy that won didn't claim the prize or didn't follow the rules. In the last contest the guy who picked Spieth at -5 didn't followed the rules so the other guy that picked Spieth at -5 "won" but he never claimed his prize.

Yeah, I did think about that. But I'm not sure that trying to pick the winner and the correct score, then "hoping" the guy in front of you who guessed the same doesn't claim his prize is the best way to go about it. Then again, it did happen that way in the last contest, soooooo.

Or if you notice the entry wasn't filled out properly (i.e. the phrase is missing, for example)…

Anyway, back to the entries.

      Dude. Stop. It does not. If you're just here to troll about LIV stuff, go somewhere else. When you make stupid statements like that, it's trolling.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
