Covers Golf Contest Discussion

I figured now was as good a time as any to start this thread.

What a meltdown by everyone!

Henley in the water twice

Palmer just surviving on every hole...short from a buck twenty on 18

Rory with a duck hook chunk fest on the back 9

Knox with a water shot double

4 top guys are +6 on the back nine....so far

Nobody wants to win this damn thing

Palmer takes 4 shots to get in from 120 yards...and ends up with a tie for the lead

Love the drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rory F'n McIlroy

What an unbelievable freakin shot right there

And now a chunker by Henley

PLAYOFF!!!!!!!!!

Henley +300 betting without McIlroy $$$.

InBlood     x-30-18-12-18-23      (Not too bad either)

DarthWader is eliminated with another missed week

Wow already the first quarter... time flies 

interesting to see the position of evreyone in first quarter.

That finish reminded me of a weekend muni tourney and not PGA Tour caliber play.  Poor shot after poor shot.  Really thought Rory would make that putt after cutting that beautiful 2nd shot on 18, but fittingly he missed.  Henley somehow 2 putted for birdie and won in a four way playoff with a reachable par 5 green.  Palmer really choked it away, par wins it for him and he leaves it short and short sided.  He hits it left of the flag he wins.  Crazy.

Thanks for your time you put in this! 

thanks CM  

HERE'S TO THE 2ND QTR!!!!! ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!! TKS CJ

sorry forgot the M!!!!

Feel as though this is the best competition on the dadgum site

My thanks go out to all of you as well that follow the rules and keep the competition fun and exciting as well!

It's going to be one hell of a finish this year I think with the two players per tournament...looking for suggestions as far as the playoffs are concerned as well?

Bracket format?

All for one format like the regular season?

Bracket Format is a great suggestion for playoffs !

Also if we do reg format we should do it like last year, where we get a leg up in points for the position we finish in the reg season. Just like the fed ex system.

I feel if we do a Bracket format  we will need to private message you the picks so the opponent doesnt know who you are picking .

Great Season so far... keep up the good work !

Do you put up the $1000 in prizes or does covers take care of that??

Sucks that round 1 got cancelled...but should be clear sailing from here on out.  Some higher rounds out there for sure!
