I'm in a pool at work and basically everyone in the pool picks any 7 golfers (people can have the same guys, obviously everyone will have Woods) and just wondering if anybody has some good advice. Thanks in advance.
Question for Golf Folks
- Thread starter wufdude
- Start date
Presuming you're talking about the Masters, wufdude?
Read the Masters post Ian has started and take it from there - Ian, Stan, DTB and others are VERY GOOD at what they do.
GL - sometimes office bragging rights is almost better than cash. Not quite, but almost

wolf - there are always at the Masters, only 6-8 players who have a chance to win the thing. The course is unique, in that there is little rough. That changed a bir last year when they let the rough grow a bit.
I like the following players to challange WOODS this year
Phil Mickelson - about time he wins one
Davis Love - plays the course well
V.J. Singh - last years winner
Mike Weir - paired with Woods in first round
Paul Azinger - a long shot playing well recently - everyone would lovce to see him win after his fight with cancer
Greg Norman - playing pretty well, and this course owes him not one, but two.
Stewart Cink - plenty long, and with a lot of game
Els - playing poorly - forget it
Sergio Garcia - probably a year or two away
Jesper Parnevik - has not challanged here yet, but is playing well
Jim Furyk - a lot of people will play him. Forget it - he is not a major winner, in my opinion
Nick Price - has quietly been regaining his 93/94 form. Excellent long shot
Carlos Franco - another excellent longshot
David Duval - no way, off his current lack of playing time, but may surprize. He played well here last year, and in last years British. Mystery man.
Colin Montgomery - he plays a fade - not suited to Augusta
Jose Marie Olazabal - 2 time winner cant be discounted
Assuming you have Woods, as will everyone in your pool:
2. Duval
3. Mickelson
4. Love
5. Singh
6. Wier
7. Norman or Garcia or Cink
Good Luck

wufdude, I think Anders puts it very well
Read the posts, there is lots of analysis this week in particular, but if you're looking for free ratings of each player [and for each tournament], then you check out:
http://www.tour-tips.com - my site
http://www.correctodds.com - was contacted about them last week, they claim a very good track record

Thanks for all of the info. I'll let you know how I do. I knew I could count on all of the great folks at Madjacks.
was just told about that correctodds today too Stan - are they poms as well?
Interesting looking, anyway

Yeah, they come from a land down under
They claim to have 30 years' worth of Tour stats, though what use results from the 1970s are I don't know, and to have had a very profitable record since 1998. Though going back over their archives leads to a sense of some post-event selecting. For example, in terms of ratings & the offered/their odds quotient: Cink, Hart, Bjorn, Goosen, Funk and Ozaki were ranked above Darren Clarke for last year's WGC Matchplay, but of course they chose Clarke who won
They are also going to be subscription-based from mid-June which suggests that (i) they have not been going for three years, plus we would have both heard of their phenomenal success before now and (ii) we are the recipients of targetted marketing emails.
While they're free, they do look an interesting site and hopefully they can be as profitable as they claim to have been

I would like to know where McCarron was 80-1 for last weeks event as 66-1 was only available at Centrebet and Multisports for a limited period and he was a lot shorter elsewhere
they do like young Bernie too this week it seems
interestingly, they highlight a bunch of guys that rate at 80, but get 100
so I guess they think that 'edge' not enough, as composed to your 33/1 guys
Golf like horse racing? No hopers win less than they should?
