Would anybody like to step up and promote a format?

How about pick 1 top 10, 1 top 25, 1 top 100, 2 Euro trash?

I'm gonna wipe the floor with you.

We've had 135 views - what happened? I thought the format was new and interesting.

I haven't had a chance to look at the leaderboard, so I will get in on this:

I take D Johnson, J. Spieth, Jason Day, Zach Johnson and Tiger Woods

Sorry clack, but this one is your dumbest yet. Nobody wants to spend the time to cross reference their picks with the place-by-place winnings and then try to calculate/predict projected winnings.

You're not in on it at all, actually.

I thought this was Clack's deal. Who are you, the rules official?

Get back to me when you figure out why you're not in on it.

Don't hold your breath. Even if it only took me 15 seconds to figure it out, it would be a waste of my time.

In another dimension, Clack nailed the British Open pick em contest.

Predicting the sum total of the winnings of your team is not the worst format possible. It does take out skill, I'll give you that, but as an activity that draws in the less skilled golf picker it had a shot. This one failed, but I'll be back in August with another attempt to build community fellowship.

71' your in on your own terms baby! I appreciate your support.
