The Arnold Palmer Picks Are Up! |
The King would be proud of our beautiful mix of 28 golfers and 13 uniques... |
Early round one standings for this week's tournament are up on
the site. The picks have been up since the deadline. We had 28
different golfers chosen. No one was unanimous, but three
golfers were picked 11 times each and tied for the favorite
spot: Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Tiger. The next
preferred participant was Hunter Mahan, picked 10 times. Justin
Rose got the nod 7 times. Martin Laird and Man Boobs show up on
5 teams each. Bill Haas and Gray-me McDowell are four-baggers.
Five treys: Bubba, Furyk, Marino, Poulter and Snedeker. Vijay is
the lone deuce. Thirteen lucky (or so we'll see) unique picks this week. Jordie, Elise and Chris have 2 each. Dan, Hugh, Randy, both Daves and both Mikes have one each. Brian, Steve, Bill and I could not pull out a unique pick. Be sure to check out the "Other Stuff" page on the site. Dave A. was in an commercial for a golf product and a link to the 2 minute video ad is on that page. His performance is truly remarkable and not to be missed. In this age of professional golf, this is the kind of mix of picks that I pretty much expect in tournament with a solid field... no true favorite but 4 or so golfers on most of the teams, a few middle of the pack picks and then a fair amount of those trying for the rush and glory of the almighty unique. This combination makes for some great golf pooling. We've got "The King's" tournament on "The King's" course and good weather expected all week. Aw hell, you know it, I know it, "The King" knows it... it's just gotta be a good one... Let's get it on! Later, |
