Here are the rules:

1) This, of course, will be serpentine style. If anyone is unfamiliar with that, it means in the even numbered rounds we go reverse order. So in round one we go 1-20, round two we go 20-1, round three is 1-20 and so forth.

2) I will post the draft order in the next post. What I did was have The 4 Peters e-mail me a random order of the participants while I ran 1-20 in a random sequence generator, then assigned the numbers to each name.

3) We’ll give each person 24 hours to make their pick. **Little change this year** As best I can, I will notify someone when they are on the clock via PM, e-mail or text. I encourage everyone to PM me their preferred method of contact. If after 12 hours nobody has made their pick, I’ll send them another PM/Text. If after 24 hours they miss their pick, we will give them the highest available ranked golfer according to the World Golf Rankings ( http://www.owgr.com/ranking ).

4) Please BOLD AND CAPS your pick. This is going to be fun, and thought process on the pick, people busting balls, etc… is all very encouraged. So there is no confusion, BOLD AND CAPS your pick so we know. I've asked BigMike and The Four Peters to help me out with this. If you're mobile and can't BOLD
your selection, mention it in the post and we'll fix it.

5) I’ll do my best to update the team lists in the post #3. This is another thing I'll get help from BM and T$P with. Before you make your pick, please check out who everyone has. Double check by going through the thread. It will start off easy, but get very difficult once we get to round 3 or 4. Sometimes, I won’t be available to update the teams as quick as the picks are coming in. If you pick someone that has already been picked, it is up to you to change your pick . Once you BOLD AND CAPS your pick, that gives the next person permission to pick their player. You will change your pick at any time, but we won’t wait to keep the draft going so you’d be only screwing yourself.

6) Again, after the Colonial and before the Memorial we will have the opportunity to drop one player and add one player. This will be done by going off total points for the season, from last to first. We'll start the week before the Colonial but the changes won't take place until after The Colonial

7) The "If you regularly text the Pro you get to have him on your team" rule. DeathOfTheBambino automatically gets ROB OPPENHEIM as his last pick if he wants him.


The points go as follows:

Winner 15
Playoff Loser 12
2nd (plus ties) 10
3rd-5th (plus ties) 7
6th-10th (plus ties) 5
11th-25th (plus ties) 3
25th-cut line 1



For the match play, even though its once a year, points will be:

2nd round losers 1
Sweet 16 losers 3
Elite 8 losers 5
Final 4 losers 7
Runner Up 10 (12 points for extra holes)
Winner 15


28 non major tournaments--$1400
4 Majors--------------------------$400
Year end most points---------$200
-----------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------$2,000

Draft is now open. We won't be skipping anyone in the first round just in case they don't realize its started. PLEASE PM ME YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER if you think you won't be able to make a quick pick over the next two weeks.

EZ and I have for years had a very similar drafting strategy. I have a feeling being back to back will lead to a lot of sniped picks from each other over the next few weeks.

I also think this could be DaveS's year finally. After being shut out for the first 3 years he got his first W last year. Drafting in the 3rd spot this year should help carry that momentum!

Wait I get the #1 in the world at the 6th pick? Obviously there's the injury concern but he's still JASON DAY.

Edit: I would have taken DJ over him too. But not Hideki or Reed I don't think.

Oh I can't wait for him to make a huge deal out of every injury and make sure the press knows ALL about it. I actually can't stand him now, but I gotta root for him!

At least he's decked out in Nike gear this year.

Wow, Jason Day actually almost fell to me. I will take the consolation prize of the insanely hot JUSTIN THOMAS.

We'll see how he keeps it up.

Yeah I wanted to pick DJ but just have a funny feeling he falls back.

And I know I overrated Reed because of Ryder Cup.

Quick help for other people mobile. If you preface what you want in bold with left bracket B right bracket and then type what you want and end with B and brackets it should bold
