TOUR Picks Weekly

[touch]

Important   

Your attention please 

 

As we did last year I ask all players to post their weekly score at the conclusion of the tournament no later than noon on Monday, or if there is a Monday finish noon on Tuesday. Doing this greatly assists the Tabulations Dept.  

 

Thank you

Petethreeput  describes the hazing he went through to join.

 

 

 

I don't want to speak for the others, but this is a tough club to get into.  In order for me to get into the Football Pick Em I had to complete the hazing. 

 

In the Instruction Forum I had to argue against the new ball flight rules.

In the Equipment Forum I had to explain why my Mizuno blades (which I had to purchase, with photos as proof) felt clunky.

In the Tour Talk I had to defend Bryson DeChambeau and his new swing which relies on feel, and lastly,

I had to go into the Rules and Etiquette Forum and explain I hit mulligans and wear jean shorts.

 

It wasn't that bad, but Touch also required me to frost my hair and use copious amounts of product, which also had to photographed.

 

I wish you luck, if you are able to get in, this is a swell group of avid golfers.

The course seems to be setup a little harder today as scoring is down by the looks.

[CHuntsman]

I mean sign me up brotha!!!  20 less strokes on your next round...😂🤣🤪😜

 

 

[Qqq123xx]

Looks like my first MC of the year. That didn't take long. Hopefully not as many as last year. 

[CHuntsman]

Ancer MC for me. 🙄 

[touch]

I too had a player MC and that was last week's winner Cameron Smith. I might get through the week ok though as my other two picks are 2nd and T7 heading into Sunday's final round. 

[puttnforthe8]

Yeah...here I figured Matt Jones would improve off of last week and instead he stinks it up.    MC

 

Na had a rough round 2 and could not keep the hot shooting.  11

 

English has done nothing special but consistent.  32

 

Need some solid final rounds from my 2.

 

 

 

 

 

[Qqq123xx]

I'm at MC,  T18, and one point boy.

RS missed cuts are worth a minus 3 points a piece. The are costly mistakes. lol   so your weekly total would be scored as such.

Your total was indeed correct which had me scratching my head regarding you getting it correct but using the wrong math.  lol

"Fantastic finish by Matsuyama in the playoff...what an "epic" (I know, it was a Srixon) 3 wood to 3 feet!! "

 

Indeed an incredible 3 wood shot it was NCL.

 

For those that missed it.

And his lob shot from earlier in the week was just as sick. 

 

I am fortunate I selected the Japanese stud golfer this week. I also thank Kisner for getting me a T3 as well.

Gentlemen it's time we take our long flight over the Pacific Ocean and return back to the mainland for week 3. This one is fairly dear to me as I lived in Rancho Mirage for a few years a decade ago. I have attended 5 Bob Hope Desert Classic's (what I still call this tournament) and had a wonderful time at every one of them.

I snagged the second and third selections, but I struggled mightily with the first one and had to go to the hidden results bar.  My mind immediately went to beer farts and I knew that was incorrect. 😜
