You know these guys get paid money right??What's this mean?
We don't do scores. We do our pool based on money earned for the weekend

For the Masters, @The General and I did one here just for S&Gs, and we did it by position rather than score. So if 50 guys make the cut, everyone who misses the cut ties for 51st.belljr said:we base it on $$TheIronSheik said:For people who are in pools where you pick a bunch of players, let me ask you a question.
A group of friends have been doing this for majors the past 5 years and it's great. It's a tiered system that makes you pick some far out names. You pick 6 and get to throw out the worst score. But the dilemma we have is what should a score be if someone misses the cut. Currently, you get an 80 for each round not played. And that's cool. Puts pressure on picking guys to make the cut. But a lot of times by end of the day Friday, we know who the winner of the pool is because they had one less guy miss the cut. How do most pools handle the score for someone who misses the cut or WD/DQ?
Originally, we gave the MC people the worse score for the day. But as you pointed out, there's always someone who throws up a 90 or something crazy. So then we capped it at 80. But even then it's a lot. Of course the thought is if we make it too much less, then you don't get penalized for picking people who missed the cut. I think if we had like 30 people in it, 80 is great. But since it's just like 8 to 15 of us, the 80's really knock you out of contention if someone has fewer people miss the cut. Again, that's good and deserving, but it sucks when the pool is decided on Friday night.For the Masters, @The General and I did one here just for S&Gs, and we did it by position rather than score.

If you're scoring by strokes, then you could maybe assign MC guys 1 more than the last-place guy that made the cut? Or 1 more than the worst round each day on the weekend? (Although somebody blowing up with an 88 on Saturday could really hose you that way.)
What happened?Brunell4MVP said:Nice work by the marshalls and police with Tiger. I'm no Tiger fan, but that was ridiculous. New Yorkers. What a bunch of ### hats.
Its like he's playing a different course than everyone else. or maybe the forward tees. Impressive!koepka is a machine.
We get so spoiled with The Masters coverage.Forgot how brutal the amount of commercials are when TNT covers early rounds of majors.
Must be hell being Fleetwoods caddie and telling him he can't walk out and retrieve his errant shot from the water hazard.I don't know why Tiger had all those back surgeries when he could have just gone to see Tommy Fleetwood and had Tommy heal him.
We tier it and end up with 12 golfers with your top 4 scores counting. You're eliminated if you don't have 4 make the cut but most people have 6-8 players into the weekend. We pick 1 from the better tiers and 2 from lesser tiers.TheIronSheik said:For people who are in pools where you pick a bunch of players, let me ask you a question.

Now just 3. Sure seems like the cut line will get to +4.Need 4 guys currently at +3 or better to finish +4 or worse (and have nobody currently at +4 or worse get to +3 or better) to move the cut line to +4.
Shaun Micheel, Orville MoodyDoes anybody happen to know if there has ever been a tour player with more major wins than non-major wins?
Nice. Forgot about Micheel. Still, as incredible as his story is/was, I'm almost finding Koepka's more hard to believe. Unless he's just really not that interested in winning other tournaments. I say that in jest (I'm sure he'd love to win more). But it's just hard to explain how somebody can be so dominant in US-based majors not named the Masters, yet only have one other win in his career. Crazy, really.Shaun Micheel, Orville Moody
I might be making this up in my head, and I'm too lazy to research...but I FEEL like we've read/heard stuff from him that made it clear he only cares about majors. The link I posted above from Bleacher Report seems clear he doesn't REALLY love the game. I think he wants to dominate majors and make billions, but I don't think he is passionate about golf in general which would naturally trickle down to not really caring about non-majors.Nice.

I watched an interview with him from this week with the barstool sports guys where he talked about how, to him, winning a major was easier than a regular event. I think he said something like half the field has absolutely no shot to begin with and then most of the rest don't have the mental toughness to compete in majors so you only have to beat around 20 guys. Let me see if I can find it.Nice. Forgot about Micheel. Still, as incredible as his story is/was, I'm almost finding Koepka's more hard to believe.
