Masters contest????

If anyone wants to run a Masters contest I will supply a used driver head for the prize. Some loft choices will be an option. Older heads but it's always fun...

Spuzz The tiers would need some revising. Hideki Matsuyama in tier 3? Not this year.

The tiers are based on the world rankings (in order) with "next man up" as substitutes for those not playing for whatever reason.

This place has a free pool that can be set up for the forum. Another golf site I frequent is using it for their Masters pool

Spuzz From last year, though. Matsuyama has likely moved considerably up the world list since last year.

I really liked the Masters Contest Coachsb ran. I'm in for this year as well.

I'd definitely want to participate and will offer up a NIP 9.5* Snake Eyes driver head as a prize.

I'm in no matter the format...

rsvman

OK. Here's an idea; very similar to last year's contest.

Tier 1.
Dustin Johnson
Rory McIlroy
Jason Day
Hideki Matsuyama
Henrik Stenson
Jordan Spieth

Tier 2.

Justin Thomas
Adam Scott
Rickie Fowler
Sergio Garcia
Alex Noren
Patrick Reed

Tier 3.

Justin Rose
Tyrrell Hatton
Danny Willett
Paul Casey
Bubba Watson
Phil Mickelson

Tier 4.
Branden Grace
Matt Kuchar
Russell Knox
Jimmy Walker
Brandt Snedeker
Brooks Koepka

Tier 5.
Jon Rahm
Rafael Cabrero Bello
Louis Oosthuizen
Charl Swartzel
Francesco Molinari
Emiliano Grillo

How about this. Pick ONE player from each group, and then pick ONE player who is not listed. Scores of all the players you chose will be added together. Players that miss the cut will have their first two rounds' score doubled and added to the total. The person whose picks have the lowest total score will win the contest.

Tie breaker
1) Will Tiger Woods play in the tournament?
2) What will the winner's score be?

How does that sound? The players are listed in order of their World Ranking as of today (top 6 in tier 1, 7-12 in tier 2, etc).

If you don't like this idea, or have ways of improving it, post them in the thread. Thanks.

I like it!

rsvman Sounds really interesting and fun. You only have one problem...I'm picking either Marc Leishman or Adam Hadwin to win it, and they're not on the list. 🙂

rsvman I like that format, picking one additional player outside of the top 30 is a good idea!

azgreg

rsvman

kelco9 everyone is required to pick one player who is not on the list. You would have to choose between them.

Even though I'm a lefty and (assuming) that whatever prize, if a golf club, would be righty.... I guess you can still count me in.

It's not like I have a record of winning these contests anyway...

Par4QC

PA-PLAYA Yes!! Found my huckleberry.😉

Just so happens I have a set of Genex 3DX ironwood heads(hybrids), #1-#5, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26*. Used, but barely/rarely, 9/10 condition.
Made esp. for those left-handed players that win forum pools!!

Throwing these in the pot for that lucky lefty.

I'm in

The format looks fine.

Since there were 3 prizes offered, how about first, second, and third prizes available.
More winners, more fun.
My prize can be third prize as it will be a used head.

Thanks rsvman for putting it into motion.

Bankshot

jazzus I'll leave it up to whomever runs the contest to determine prize position. I'll try to post a pick of the head I'm offering this weekend.

raggmann54

Like it - good to go...

Thx to those who offered prizes.....I have an idea for one of the final 3 magors. Everyone pony up a sleeve of balls, winner takes them all🙂

Hadwin isn't in the top 30?!

ode

Hoss7504 why would he be, he's won once....Think about what everyone ahead of him has did in the last two years, + he's relatively new on the scene...And no reason why you couldn't pick him as your "other category"

Weirfan

Hoss7504

He's 44

I suppose you're right. And I probably will pick him as my "other". I just figured that his performance this year has been so solid this year that he's gotta be in the top 30. Shows how much I know.
