    Agreed, sounds damn tasty!

    Awesome! Since I also had no winners during the US Open, I'm bringing my LIF back as well - give me the name of the player who will have the low round of the weekend (rounds 3 AND 4). I'll need a name, their score for that round, and the total number of putts they took as a tie-breaker. Don't worry about sending a name now, we can wait to see who makes the cut, but I'll put the cut-off for picks at midnight Friday. Hopefully this'll ensure everyone has a horse in the race for the weekend. Winner will receive either a few bottles I no longer want from my cellar, or a fresh assortment of MA cans (Trillium, Night Shift, Jack's Abby, etc.).

    Boom. And like that- we've completely finished our draft 4 days before they tee it up! Well done!

    Agreed, very well done! My apologies to anyone if a text from from me came at an inconvenient time, but I think it helped speed things along.

    By the way, with @Will_Edgar back in the fold it brings our participants up to 22 from 21 so we won't have an "odd box" from having two payout sides. With the even number of payouts, instead of having the "odd box" paid out to the low round on Sunday from the pool of non-winners I'm thinking we change the payouts, adding a box to be paid out to each of the third place finishers on both sides. First place gets 7, second gets 3, and third gets 1.

    As before, you can only win on one side of the pool, getting the higher of the two payouts if you do end up winning on both sides. In the event you finish in the same finish order, (i.e. second place on both sides) you get the payout from the highest $$$ won side of the pool and everyone moves up a spot on the combined score side of the pool to determine winners.

    Sound good?

    Sounds good to me @johnyb

    Hey...that rhymes! :grinning:

    Also, my ante will be Cycle Nooner batch 6 (Rye Whiskey Rare DOS) + a couple crowlers of whatever Cycle has available when it's time to ship if that's acceptable to everyone.

    Good luck gentlemen!

    Anytime! Cycle's not in my backyard, but only about 30 minutes from work so I try to get over when I can.
    I still haven't managed to make it to a Cycle day, lol. Doug has had an unfortunate habit (for my purposes) of releasing beers and tickets on Tuesdays, which is the one day I can't make it over until really late. And then they're sold out.

    But we definitely should meet up whenever you're down here. Cheers!

    johnyb's LIF...............since I'm putting up a winners choice bottle ante, the winner here will get the alternate bottle left after the bottle draft, and some locals. The winner will be determined by the BA from our participants here who gets the most points from the questionnaire below(1 pt each) and DID NOT finish in the beer on either side of the pool. All participants here can enter before the first tee time goes off, but you become ineligible if you finish top 3 on either side and win beer already. (Tiebreaker will be the BA whose team has the worst combined score wins this consolation prize)


    1)The winner will be American, European, or from any other part of the world?
    2)Will someone win @Theredflame2's hole in one contest? Yes/No
    3)The winner of the Claret jug will win....in a playoff, by one stroke, two strokes, or three or more?
    4)Will @cfh64 finish in the beer on either side of the pool? Yes/No
    5)The winner will be one of the first 8 golfers drafted by us, or anyone else(drafted or not)?
    6)Pick a team(not your own) that you think will finish in the beer(top 3 either side)
    7)Pick a team(not your own) that you think will NOT finish in the beer(top 3 either side)
    8)How many of the 44 golfers that we drafted will miss the cut? 12 or more, 11 or less
    9)How many teams will have both players cut ? 2 or less, exactly 3, or 3 or more.
    10)Did Brad's pep talk work( Jordan Spieth finishes in top 7)? Yes/No
    11)Will somebody win @mj0126's LIF this time? Yes/No
    12)Which team wins more prize money, @johnyb or @Moc513 ?

    I just saw the list of players playing, and maybe we dont wanna do a pool for that. It sucks that everyone is pulling out do to Zika.

    Kind of sad that everyone is pulling out. I think having golf in the Olympics would be pretty awesome, but I doubt they will continue with it when the majority of players skip it.

    At least we have a few majors left this year.
