    Good idea, and I think I would definitely be up for it next round with the British Open. My issue here is changing the rules after we already established them initially and started drafting. I don't want anyone having issue with changing the playing field after it's already been established this go around. My thoughts are this, if we get an overwhelming majority vote (let's say 10 of 12 participants) to draft a second golfer in a snake style format for this pool than I don't have an issue with it. Sound off gents...

    They were saying that a couple of holes could change from Par 4 to Par 5 based on pin placement and if they wanted them to be a long par 4 or shorter par 5.

    And for East Coast people, it is on in the evening too on Fox I believe

    I prefer to keep the rules as originally dictated.

    Good Morning Gentlemen.....

    I've gotten enough input from everybody where we are not going to get enough of a majority to change the format to two golfers for this pool.

    We have our field all set with one golfer each per the original rules. In the future (upcoming British Open and PGA) we wil do a two golfer snake type draft and use their combined prize money winnings to determine the winners. Good Luck to all this weekend, should be a fun US Open! Happy Fathers Day weekend to all you dads as well!

    Is he bringing his "long" stick or "short" stick for the greens?
