    We're 3 weeks away from the 1st Major of the year. We lost Jiffer, so we're down a contestant this year, and we'll need someone to fill that void.

    (A) Who's in? Confirm with a post

    (B) The last time we did a contest, we used Gippers online version that gave credit for individual hole performance. In the past we have done a couple of different versions. Any suggestions? Any preferences? Anybody give a **** anymore?

    I think I used an ESPN format last year. If they have one again this year I'd be happy to set it up.

    Ok, so far it's Don B., Doc, Gipper and myself.

    Sid
    Last year the game was really simple. You picked four golfers. Your team score on each hole was the best score in your group. So for instance, on a par 5 if your team had 2 players with 5s, one with a 4 and one with an eagle 3, your team score on the hole would be a 3.
    It really helps if all your players make the cut. It also helps if they birdie different holes so your score is lower. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

    I've played with him a few times and got him clubs (left handed.) He plays Little League, flag football, basketball and lacross. I think he really likes lacross. I'll bide my time.

    If I don't do any better picking individual players than teams in the Big Dance, it will be a disaster! :roll:
