US PGA 2018

Postby Corona Man » Tue Jul 24, 2018 4:20 pm

Getting a thread going early on this.

Given there are a few posters who don't mind a punt on the bigger golf tourney's, is there any interest in a tipping comp for the PGA in a few weeks time.

The PGA runs from August 9-12th.

Perhaps first in to secure your player, you can have 3 picks each. Selections do not open until the final field is released. Perhaps to make it "fairer" I can bracket up the players according to their odds (and you get one pick from each batch of players), that way most the more favoured players get spread out rather than getting snapped up by the quickest..... any other thoughts?

$5 or $10 per player and a best finisher takes all. Or maybe, free pi55 at Wedgies pub for an hour, or choose your own prize from the back of Spargo's van?!?

Just giving this one a nudge along. Any other interest out there in a tipping comp. Not sure how the $$$ will work out, even if its just for bragging rights maybe?

How about you blokes:-
