    Regarding #3 you are mistaken here. Each player’s own very twisted brain will be working against them the whole time. You actually try to stop yourself!

    As for #4 the good news its a one and done so if you should fail the first weekend you will have LOTS of good company.
    Don't believe everything you think.

    1. Lol
    2. They actually opened the course to women for the first time last year for the final round of the Inagural Augusta National Amatuer (I cant remember if this is what it’s actually called), and they did it the weekend before. It was pretty cool and historic, but no, Amy will not be playing.
    3. You will probably have a distinct advantage over people who will overthink it. Just pick 4 golfers, sit back and enjoy. I’ll do all the hard work.
    4. Same here. Hoping for redemption.

    We'd use a tiered aggregate system. Here's how it would work:

    All golfers will be posted with the Vegas odds to win and then split into 4 tiers (1-15, 16-30, 31-45, and "dark horse"). Entries into the pool would have to select one golfer from each tier (and this would have to be done on Wednesday since these odds change over the week). Aggregate total of all 4 golfers for all 4 rounds are added up and the lowest score wins. If one of your golfers misses the cut, they get the worst score from Saturday and Sunday of a golfer who did make the cut. You also must guess what the winning score to par will be and this will be used as a tie-breaker if needed.

    Open to thoughts on making it better. But curious if there is any interest.

    Thanks.

    Alrighty, team. Here's who was interested before, plus Vet (although I haven't seen him around in a while). Let's re-up our interested and get this going.

    They tee up on 11/12. Who's in?

    DeChambeau says he hit a ball in practice that carried 400+ yards.
