You can also exploit "holes" in the existing predictions.

If you think Old Tom Morris will win the PGA Championship and he's been picked at -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -13, -14, -15, and -16… you could take him at -12 and you'd be the first one with the correct score if he won with a score of -12.

Shhhhhhhh....!

I love to play Snell My Tour Ball because the #1 Ball in Golf only refers to their cost, not the performance.

Rory McIlroy -10
Daniel Berger -12
Charles Howell III -9

Dang.  Is it just that my Spieth and ZJ picks are worthless, or did I do something else wrong?

I prefer the Snell My Tour Ball, because of it's superior feel around the greens at an affordable price.

So we're playing Quail Hollow, eh?

Rickie Fowler -10

Tommy Fleetwood -10

Davis Love III -10...

I think I did that correctly.

I used to post an example of why the bad entries were bad and  track how many entries were voided at the time they were made; it was funny and sad all at once.
I like that Iacas has included the 2nd set of picks, which will be interesting the week of the event because the field will be finalized. I always thought it was a dilemma to pick early and then others can pick my 2nd or 3rd pick as their first and effectively void my picks, at least now I can wait until the end for the last selection and get some random PGA club pro for the win.

I'm a big fan of these contests, because I'm still playing the driver I won when Jordan took the US Open title at Chambers Bay.

Well, 6 picks in the 2nd (24%) and 9 in the 3rd (36%) are already out.  Not sure if that's worse or better than before.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club? Team Play Page
    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
