Other Sports: Golf Thread - Majors Draft 2023

[CanadianFlyer88]

Was hoping @Chinatown88 would choose one of my two options so I wouldnt have to think about it....

I'll go with this weekend's winner, who officially qualified for two majors with the win and unofficially qualified for the other two.

He's a lefty, which is supposedly an advantage at Augusta. Like my Tom Kim pick last year, maybe a bit early for this guy to compete with the big boys in the majors: Akshay Bhatia

@bennysflyers16, if you don't pick Phil, all of your points don't count.

Damn you

I am proud to select the TRUE GOAT, some say the most important thing to ever happen to the game of golf. No single human has done more for the sport or for mankind in fact,,,



Philip Alfred Mickelson

@VladDrag you are up...

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Damn you

I'll trade you all four of my picks for Scottie.

I heard that he was a thumb-launching supertool.

 

[VladDrag]

Jason Day (I don’t think he’s been selected)

@trostol

 

[trostol]

Chris Kirk..i think i do not see him on the list

@Young Sandwich your time to shine

 

[Cody Webster]

Jason Day (I don’t think he’s been selected)

@trostol

I was debating between him and Sam

 

[Young Sandwich]

Min Woo Lee. He's going to break through this year.

Take us home @Captain Dave Poulin

That was the other guy on my two player list with Akshay.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I will take Shane Lowry

Good job, nerds - now we can relax.

 

[Cody Webster]

Hey @bennysflyers16 sorry about this pairing....

Bryson shoots 65 (-7).

I saw a neat way to do a majors pool instead of money earned.

In this version, your players get the total value of their finishing spot and the team with the lowest overall total (it is golf, after all) wins.

So if a player goes 4, T25, T11, 8, his total for the year would be 48 (4+25+11+8).

Missed cuts and no shows get scored as one higher than the cut line. If 70 players make the cut, any missed cuts or no shows score 71 that week.

Something to maybe keep in mind for next year...

Too easy for the LIV boys !!

I've been in one like that, they are fun.

 

[trostol]

Did I win yet?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Almost went for Canadian content in Nick Taylor for our draft, who's on a good run. Had 9 bogeys, 4 birdies and 5 pars today. Eek.

I'm definitely open to that if everyone agrees.

 

[trostol]

I so wouldn't take Spieth in that format lol

 

[Tripod]

I'm definitely open to that if everyone agrees.

It would keep everyone grouped together closer and lessen the impact the winners of the majors have. Since essentially to win in our current format, you have to have a guy win a major. Others can determine if that's good or bad.

I am good either way.

 

[trostol]

Fantastic..all my guys are over par

 

[Chinatown88]

I'm not a fashion guy. Idk what the trends are and whatnot. But Jason Day needs slimmer pant legs. Man is wearing parachute pants.

He just recently did a full overhaul on his wardrobe and it's been shocking to watch unfold. It's rough.

I honestly thought they were rain pants at first.

I made it to the practice round on Tuesday and he was wearing a "Golf is Life" shirt that was Ed Hardy-ish with the big quoting on the back.
