    Hello BA's...new to this forum but have been reading a lot and many of these sound like fun. Since I normally do this type of pool for friends, I thought I'd put one together for beer. Here's how it'll work...

    Looking for 8 people (myself and 7 others). Ante for this will be two 22oz with a 95 or better rating on this site (not looking to break the bank or cellar here, just some highly rated beer that others might enjoy)

    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 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.

    First and second places will win. The first place person will receive the packages from finishers 3-6 (so 8 bottles total) and the second place finisher will receive the packages from those who finished 7th and 8th (so 4 bottles total). Packages will have to be mailed out by Friday 6/26.

    First 7 people to respond to this will get in. You'll need to have prior positive trading history to participate. Once I confirm you're in, please DM me your name, email, and address. The groupings for golfers are below just so you can see the breakdown and how you'll have to pick, but your picks won't be due until Wednesday midnight ET.

    I'll probably run the same thing for the final two majors and possibly the last WGC so check this forum on those weeks if interested.

    Will be interesting to see what he does this week.

    Bubba is a roller coaster...might be a good thing no one took him. just saw him double a hole because he hit a bunker shot all of 15 inches.

    This course is crazy. I'm so nervous anytime one of my picks has to lag a putt because it's more than likely going to be a 3-putt. Guys are leaving it embarrassingly short or blowing it by the hole.

    I know...one of the reasons the US Open is my favorite major. Love to see the pro's struggle a little!

    Right? I'm watching Phil and thinking, "Hell, I coulda 3-putted that hole too."

    Looks like it's going to be a tight finish all-around. Good luck everyone!
