    Hello BA's...last major of the year so doing this one final time...

    Ante for this will be two 22oz with a 90 or better rating on this site (not looking to break the bank or cellar here, just some highly rated beer, preferably not widely distributed that others might enjoy). You may also sub in two 12oz for one 22oz or four 12oz for the two 22oz, as long as everything's rated 90 or above.

    You will pick 6 golfers from the groupings below to form your team. At the end of the tournament, your 4 lowest golfers scores will be added together....low team score wins. If you have 3 or more players miss the cut, you're out. (I will email out tie-breakers to the participants)

    Examples
    If your six golfers scores are -5, -3, E, +1, +4, and a MC, your ending total would be -7 as the +4 and the MC are thrown out.
    If your six scores are -5, -3, -2, MC, MC, MC, then you won't have four in play so you're out.

    Payouts will be announced once I have the final number of entries. If I have 6 - 8 people total, then first and second will win (second place would get 2 bottles and first place the rest). If 9 or more people then top 3 will win.

    Please DM me with your name and email address to get in. You'll need to have prior positive trading history to participate. The groupings for golfers are below so you can see the breakdown and how you'll have to pick, but your picks won't be due until Wednesday midnight ET.

    Dustin' f'in Johnson! Killed a few of us on the first hole with a quadruple bogey. That's what I get for picking a tweaker. F'in loser.

    Ya know, at first I thought you "liked" my post because you were suffering with me. I just realized you're the ONE in the top 3 who didn't pick DJ, therefore you're the one who benefited from that disaster. Now I know why you "liked" my post. I hope I ship to you, I have a nice sixer of fresh Bud Light, hope you enjoy :stuck_out_tongue:

    Edit: Dick :wink:

    If I'm DJ's coach or caddy I tell him to quad the first hole at the start of every final round! Seems he's playing better than he usually does on Sundays. Even had two other bogeys and still 4-under for the day...wow.

    Spoke too soon. The whole day Ive been asking my wife "I wonder what happens if someone hits it past that green, it's a huge drop. Is that out of bounds?" Thanks for answering my question DJ. Fuck.

    Wow! That was a barn burner. Beating johnyb has been one of my biggest achievements all year. Even though it's not football, it's a start. FYI, any of you who like college football please consider this BIF, it's a blast and you'll have a chance to get "revenge" on me. Insert shameless plug here http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/ncaa-football-pick-em-bif.323981/

    Thanks again for running this Ryno. I love the majors but having a little skin in the game makes it that much more interesting. Congrats to Day! I like Spieth but Jason has been so close so many times.


    You know I was just playin'? :wink:

    Edit: In a sick and selfish way, I almost wish I placed 2nd just so johnyb would have to send to me, I believe it would be a first.

    No worries, mate! What a match that was. Was rooting for Day as well. Looks like golf will be ok without Tiger!

    Awesome...I'll probably get in this. Love college football. And if you can't tell by my avatar, I'm an OSU alum so I'm still riding the high from last season
