Its my bad, I was also caught out by my recent circumstances changing - pretty much happened just after WA champs and the US masters comp.

Change is not something I deal with that well, but this aspect needs to improve for the coming months.

Great work Nuff.

[Nuffie]

Great work Nuff.
According to the link for the world rankings in post #1, Donald and Westwood are my only two selections currently ranked inside the world top-10. Day, Scott, Ogilvy and the reserve Choi are all outside of the top-10.

So... eat grass moose! :)

[Ned]

According to the link for the rankings, Donald and Westwood are my only two selections ranked inside the top 10. All the others are higher.


Have a look at conditions again Nuffster, Masters doesnt have emergencies (Thats why everyone had to nominate reserve), US Open, The Open and US PGA do.:roll:

That doesn't make any sense to me, I thought the masters did but maybe I'm just blonde...

Doesn't an emergency = your reserve? As in... an 'emergency player' is your 'reserve player' in the event that one player in your selected five options can't compete???

If this is not so, my understanding of the definition in this golfing context has been proven incorrect.

The only other definition of emergency I know of is what happens when fire alarms go off and we need to evacuate the office :).

Masters doesn't have waiting/reserves/emergencies

All the others do.

As in the past emergencies are the standby guys who come in like John Daly did in 1991 or whatever year Nick price withdrew and JD blew em all away!

And besides, just because I happened to nominate a reserve doesn't mean he has to count ;).

He can just tag along for the ride, and see how well the other 5 players go.

Missed cutoff but hasn't started. $10 of any winnings to OzGolf?

[Johnny Canuck]

Pete's picks look to solid to let him in :). Same applies?

[morgy]

I didn't see the 5pm cut off..... But I got in hours before the first tee off so I'm assuming it's ok?

[morgy]

Missed cutoff but hasn't started. $10 of any winnings to OzGolf?

Sure....

[Ned]

The Canadian Mountie has spoken, fines will be deducted from any winnings!

Luke Donald +7
Matt Kuchar -4
Nick Watney MC
Jason Day -5
Adam Scott MC

:roll:

[Nuffie]

Jason Day is my only player still in the mix. But wouldnt even say he's in contention with a round left to play.

Rory hits it so high. Reminds me of Norman's ball flight. It was amazing to see him hit off on 18, so much higher than Garcia hit his.

[timah!]

Day, Kuchar, Bubba, Donald.

Have you checked your account Ned. I Pmed you earlier today telling you the money is transferred!!!!

Been a bit busy avoiding ash clouds lately.

BTW, I still don't know who won (other than it wasn't me).

Yep did a reconcile prior to posting update.

What Mega said!!!!!!

[oncewasagolfer]

paid. Just a question not a complaint, is there any way of setting the comp up where not just the people who pick the winner get all the cash? You could have 5 in the top ten and still get beaten by someone who picks the winner. just my 2 cents:)

[PeteyD]

that's the way it goes.

[oncewasagolfer]

yeah. nice avatar by the way;)

[oncewasagolfer]

I knew you guys would understand:)

[Nuffie]

Well done to funky cliff :smt038and bad luck bushka :roll: after deciding late in the piece to swap McIlroy off his list of selections proved an unfortunate call.

After that matchwinning performance by Rory, I wonder how many ppl will pick him in their selections for the British Open tipping now?

I guess those ppl that decided to keep their faith in McIlroy for this comp were rewarded, following his masters meltdown. A lot of ppl wrote him off in this major, myself included :roll:.

[Funky_Cliff]

Wooo. How excitement. Thank you non-American folk of Rory, day and westwood. :)

[Nuffie]

Wooo. How excitement. Thank you non-American folk of Rory, day and westwood. :)

I was sort of on the right track too by not picking any Americans, however I just picked the wrong non-Americans :roll:.

[LeftyHoges]

Paid last night NK, should hopefully hit your bank this arvo, if not tomorrow.

[live4golf]

nice work Funky...thought I had it in the bag...that FKN Mickelson pleb

Nice and close to your home course.

Good on ya mate.

I actually just bought a membership at Gold Creek Country Club so I've changed my home clubs to there. Wasn't loving Gungahlin.... nice course, no atmosphere. Gold Creek had an excelllent deal going too; $2000 for yearly green fees/membership, unlimited use of motorised carts, 5 buckets of range balls per week, club storage and weekly cleaning, and a 1 year gym membership. Got a bunch of other extras as well...

Not sure how it happened... but I'm a currently a full member of 3 Golf Clubs. This hobby is getting expensive... might take up model planes.

[virge666]

1st $168.
2nd $48.
3rd $24.

I guess my huge winnings may as well go towards OzGolf as well....

don't spend it all in one month . . .
