I do an annual Majors pool with some friends. Here are the results if anyone cares. 6 GMs pick 7 golfers. Your top 4 scores make your score and if you have more than 4 miss the cut, it's very bad.
R1 Speith (Me), Thomas, DJ, Rory, Rose, Tiger
R2 Day, Rahm, Fowler. Phil, Bubba, Fleetwood (me)
R3 Casey (me), Stenson, Matsuyama, Kuchar, Garcia, Noren
R4 Reed, Leishman, Kisner, Koepka, Poulter, Hatton (me)
R5 Dechambeau (me), Oostie, Scott, Finau, Bello, Branden Grace
R6 Brenden Steele, Apihbarnrat, Xander, F Molineri, Pieters, Moore (me)
R7 Hoffman (me), Harman, Zach, Schwartzl
Two picks to go
My team is:
Spieth, Fleetwood, Casey, Hatton, Dechambeau, Moore, Hoffman
Any big gaffes? Anyone I should switch? Someone who knows golf suggested switching Henley for Hoffman.

Saw Tiger & Mickelson played a practice round together this morning, talking the ins & outs of the course as they shot. That'd be a nice new Masters tradition, maybe - a foursome with them, the reigning champ or a golf legend/newcomer, and a newsmaker or make-a-wish-er as the fourth, telecast for charity. I'd shonuff watch.

Man, I'd love to watch that. I love everything about the Masters, but for many tournaments, I get a little sick of the heavy focus on the putts. Some of that occurs at the Masters, too, which is why the Thursday/Friday coverage is enjoyable ...a number of different camera angles.

Was there yesterday. Saw him birdie 6, he chipped in for eagle at 2 and the roar was huge, Sundays there must be nuts. The place is 1st class all the way.

Anyone been to the Masters? I went the year bubba won his 2nd. Sat in the bleachers on 15 green which gives you a view of 16 (par 3, water) as well.
There's a food/drink pavilion nearby everything is cheap. Saw Alonzo mourning, he looked great.
Probably the coolest live event I've ever been to. 99.9% of the people are on good behavior no cell phones, everyone is chill and the course is amazing. If you ever get a chance, just drop everything and go

Grounds and staff are amazing. People eating, drinking and smoking everywhere and did not see any paper, cups or butts on the ground in 8 hours.

9. but only because I think casey is going to win it. Those teams are fairly even across the board.

If one of my guys doesn't win it, I'd love to see PC win it. Seems to be a great dude.

But Hadwin's not on it.
Do you know enough that I should be happy that you love my team?
I was there in 2004 - the year after Mike Weir won (that's how I remember)
"A grass museum" is a good way of putting it. I was only there for the Wed and Thu practice round (and par 3 on Wed, of course). Seeing it on TV does not do it justice. They say it all the time and everyone has heard that phrase before but it's true. The elevation changes alone are pretty staggering. It's a work of art.
I put my name in the lottery every year (aside from 1, or 2 where I forgot) and still haven't won the opportunity to buy again. I'll keep trying though.

What about Henley for Hoffman? My friend who plays DF golf says that's the only move he'd make. Thoughts?

Footballguy
I like Hoffman. But I can understand going Henley there. Not much help, I know. For me it is just that I could see Charlie having the temperment to handle the Sunday pressure if he gets into contention. I don;t see either winning though, and based on your format you almost certainly will need to have the winner.

A Canadian book that I use has given Spieth the shortest odds to win (+1034) so he's getting some respect from them.

I was there also that year (Sat/Sun) and the year prior (Tuesday/Wednesday,Par 3 tourney). Was in line at 4:30am to get front row 18th green spot. Didn't realize they let the club members/guests in about 30 minutes prior to general public. Still ended up in 4th row. Started walking around a bit mostly around amen corner and 15/16, then sat at 7th green (can see 2nd green and 3rd tee) then moved to our seats on the 18th as they finished. The first year I was there, they had a severe storm during the night and they delayed the opening of the course a couple hours. When they finally opened the course, there was not a fallen leaf/branch to be found. Wife enjoyed not having to wait in line for the bathrooms.

If you only have 3 or fewer golfers make the cut in any major, you take on the highest score for the day to get you to 4 golfers. If this happens, you're certainly out of the money for that major and probably for the total of the 4 majors as well.

i noticed that too. I also thought he doesn't look quite right. something seems off. but, he owns this course. hard to see him outside the top ten, and if I was doing the odds, he would have the best to win. the kid is pure ice in big events.

so it is the total score of your group of four relative to par? Way better way to do it (than earnings).

Justin Rose came so close last year. He gets it done this year. Just hoping for a top 20 finish for Tiger and at least flirting with top 10 on the weekend. At least.

$500 pool. Most money one. Bubba, Rory, Tiger and Phil are my 4

I like Chappell and Berger better than both those guys. Hoffman would be great in a Thursday only pool.

If Pat Perez wins, what will be on next years menu for Masters Dinner?

Does anyone do one of those pools where you pick a guy from column A, another from B, two longshots, etc or something similar? I've been in one for a few years for all the majors but the guy who runs it is on vacation and just told us he's not running it for the Masters.
If anyone has a good list for this or even better, a tracking spreadsheet, or knows a site with one, please shoot me a PM cause I'd love to run this with a smaller group if I can turn it around quickly. Thanks.

Not quite the list thing you have done. But we do this based on current rankings. Pick one from each group, if your five guys finish, 3rd, 10th, 22nd, 28th, and 41st, your total score is “104”. If a golfer misses the cut, you get “CUT +1” for their score. Lowest score wins.
This year because of Tiger being such an favorite in such a low group we are picking one extra player from group 2 - 6.
