My guess was on pg 172 and your apology and adding me to the list was on 182.

Whoops.  Adding you in now.  Sorry imk. Thanks for pointing out my error.

To all participants, please make sure to check my lists as I make mistakes. We are the 19th Hole's most popular thread so it takes a big effort to keep up.   😂

 

 

 

Contest is closed to new guesses. We did this a few days ago. 

 

200th page hits when? 

10 point bonus to your Majors Pick total is the prize.

Thank you NJBF for going back and finding imk's prediction. I very much appreciate you getting right after it.  What a solid partner in these contests I have. 👊

 

I don't want to make a correction, but let's award imk 10 points as well. 

 

I keep this place together as best I can gents and I am bound to make mistakes. It is a great deal of work to tabulate it all accurately. I am sorry imk as you were the winner. I apologize for making the same mistake twice with forgetting your guess. 

 

Please NJBF do a new standings that also includes a 10 bonus points for imk. I certainly don't want to take away the 10 points that chisag was already awarded. 

 

I will be coming up with another contest soon and will do a better job of keeping the records. 

 

I am blonde yes, but I'm blaming this error of mine this time on the damn Pacific Time Zone.  😂

exceptions and outliers are just that - exceptions and outliers. 

 

neither ichiro nor gwynn are prototypical corner outfielders in today’s game. 

 

that doesn’t mean they’re not incredible talents and hall of famers. 

 

plus, ichiro was already a proven commodity when he came over to the states. 

I have a signed Ichiro ball.  My kid got hit by his foul ball.  I didn’t scoop it off the rail, and he was hit square in the chops.

When was this? I assume it happened at a Mariner's home game? Any broken teeth? How about telling us the story on how you were presented the autographed ball afterwards P3P.

Do you put mustard in your potato salad?

Jalapeno butter for the cornbread or whipped honey butter?

It got to 60 today.  Hard to play in that honestly.  Almost swinging freely but not quite.

 

Fired a 5 over on the front.  Playing better on the back.

 

On 16, I need to hit a tight little draw inder the tree.  I shank it onto a nearby green.  Take a drop and squeeze another low draw Over the tree but under the other tree.  That one was another hosel, but now I had an open shot.  50 yarder to 5’ and a bogey.

 

End up 5 over on the round.  I was playing well until the hosel came out to play.  For the record, I am not a hosel play guy so this is perplexing.

I did a German potato salad. No Mayo or mustard. I have regular butter available, but don’t use it. I let the flavor of the cornbread be the star. Not a big butter guy. Even when eating “bad”, the little things add up! 😜

Is 280 just an arbitrary #, or is there some significance?
