The 9th Year Is Underway! |
Looks like we still know how to pick'em... |
![]() Fourteen unique picks for the first event of the year. Jordie has the most with 3. Dan, Chris, Brett and Dave B. have 2 each. Elise, Dave A. and Mike M. have 1 each. The other 7 players won't know the glories and tragedies of the Unique pick this opening week. We have a new player joining us this year. Brett S. is the assistant Superintendent at Moundbuilders C.C. and has been for 30+ years. I think all of you Ohio boys know him. He is a past Licking County League golf champion, along with the winner of many, many money matches. Brett has dropped more clutch putts than anyone in this pool; Bill is the only one even close. Despite what he may tell you (probably to get some strokes) Brett is a player when the money is on the line, and he is probably the finest gambler, golf or otherwise, that I know. With his knowledge of golf and pure gambling skills, his picks this year will be very, very dangerous. Since we have a little more money in the pots with the addition of Brett, the weekly payouts will be going up a bit. I decided to keep last year's percentages for each spot as close to the same as I could, so in regular events and the T.M.C.'s 1st will be $42, 2nd $22 and 3rd $11. Double those for majors, Seasons and Year-Longs. We've got a nice mix of picks for some exciting golf pooling. A couple of clear favorites and over 70% of the picks deuces, treys or uniques. This is the way I like it. Actually it doesn't matter because I am ready to get down to some serious golf pooling. It's been 4 months so you know damn well it's gonna be good... Let's Get It On!
