Victory is places unknown to any of us anyway. In his absence, I will run this contest.

The 2006 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass will mark the eighth major tournament held since Golf Rewind was founded and the ninth overall Pick 'Em game.

The prize: The prize will be... well we'll think of something... My advice to the winner - don't quit your day job.

Deadline to enter: this contest will be (US EST - Florida time) 6:00 AM on Thursday, March 23, 2006.

To be eligible: for this contest, you will need to be at "Golf Enthusiast" level. This means, you must have a minimum of 30 posts to be eligible for the fabulous TBD prize. All other members can play but will not be eligible to win the prize. Spamming of the forum will not be tolerated and will result in your disqualification from the contest and a possible suspension of your membership priveleges.

Note: You don't need to be at "Golf Enthusiast" level when you enter but if you would like to be eligible for the prize, you will have to be at that level by the end of the contest (Sunday).

How to play: Select two players from each group (two players from Group A, two players from Group B, two players from Group C and two players from Group D) who you think will score the lowest during the Players Championship. The lowest scoring golfer of the day will receive 20 points for that day. Each stroke worse gets 2 points less all the way down to 0 points.

For example, if Tiger Woods shoots the low round of the day with -3 and you pick him, you will get 20 points for him. If Vijay Singh follows with -2 (a stroke behind), he will get 18 points (2 points less).

In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker will be instituted. Select 1 player from Group A and 1 player from Group B who you haven't already picked and whoever picks the lowest combined score will win.

Does the winner get one of those pick'em badges? Or can only Victory assign those?

I'm in...

1, 7, 13, 19, 22, 28, 33, 37, 10, 17

2, 5, 13, 19, 21, 23, 33, 37,.....3, 17.

Only Victory has that ability. I haven't decided on a prize, maybe a "no expenses paid" trip to Detroit. Lodging will be provided at La Casa Wazman - I have a lovely spacious shed out back. It's actually quite cozy in the summer with a view of the exotic and rare standard poodle in his natural habitat. The golf will be on me with one caveat... Leaguegolf will be doing the driving.

1, 7, 11, 18, 22, 27, 34, 37, 10, 19

6, 7, 18, 20, 23, 25, 35, 37, 1, 11

1, 6, 19, 20, 24, 28, 35, 37, 2, 11

The Players Championship isn't a major though. I'll post my picks a little later.
