Anyone want in on a British Open Pool?

[Speirsy11]

Hey guys, hope all is well in Oz. Since I've heard that some Aussies have a tendency to enjoy their wagering I thought I'd throw out the invite for you guys to get in on a British Open Pool we run out of our club here in Canada..........$20 paypal, winner takes 70% (last year it was about $2500 to the winner)

Sign up here if you want...........

That's what they sent me....might want to change the password so nobody changes your picks :lol:

[Jono]

OK. Now I can log in. Email address changed. Password changed. Unfortunately, I can't change my Alias. :(

I paid via Paypal. It charged me $20.91 Canadian dollars. Is this correct?

[Jono]

Rob, quick question.

On the home page, it says that there are 31 entries received. Then it says that the Prize Pool is $1620. Shouldn't it be $620 if everyone paid 20 dollars?

Lots of guys will have paid for all 4 majors at the start of the year and not put their entry in yet for this one, hence the difference between the number of entries and the amount of $$$.......For the US Open the prize pool was a little over $5000. $20.91 is correct, the .91 covers costs of running the site and paypal fees (a bunch of accountants run this thing, you know how they are............)

[Jono]

Cool. Thanks mate. 8)

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm officially in.

Glad I didn't pick Katayama or Sabbatini!

[Johnny Canuck]

In this years US Open pool.

Only guy out of 192 entries with the combo of Rory, Zach and YE.

I am going to be too scared to watch the rest of the tournament.

Good rounds from Day and Bubba would also help the cause.

Oh baby!

Happy to know Rory just made another birdie?

[Johnny Canuck]

I might still be keeping an eye on things. In these comps, you generally don't want to be leading after round two as things always change.

[MegaWatty]

Surely you have them covered, JC!
