Hi Eliscoming....thanks for a fun year of golf....and now football too....question for you about the DIEHARD.....will it only be starting in January 2018 this year and therefore not have the fall/winter one that I got to do last year?
Cheers.......................

Thanks Very Much...Merci Beaucoup...for putting this all together each and every week all year long....
This is his first one...he missed a long ball win in a big tournament by 18 inches....but just loves the game now....I am tickled pink!!
Want to put my picks in before I forget....so here they are....
SPEITH, FOWLER, KOEPKA, KUCHAR, RAFAEL CABRERA BELLO 268
Can't believe that it is the 4th major already....on a lighter note my son who is 14 won his junior club championship today...just this year he got the bug for golf in fact he now plays 36 - 45 holes everyday....(golf club is across the street...so that helps) and oh to be young and every thing you hit goes F-A-R....
Wow where is 2017 going? we are already at the third Major....seems like no time since last year when Stenson won!
My picks for this year are.....
Jordan Speith, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson
274
Hope I am not too late to make some changes....
Winner AL West - Houston
2nd AL west - LA Angels

Thanks and what a game tonight!!!

Does your son use the same side for golf and baseball?
Seeing a great course from my office window would not be too productive for me....atleast in terms of work
I saw a set of pings on a recycling site here...I might give them a whirl....they are but 85$ so no harm in trying....
Playing with one of my son's who is 17 now....he swings right for golf ( can hit a 60 degree wedge...155 yards)....yuk and left for baseball....(the reason being he doesn't want to screw up his golf swing)....how long have you had the Ping Eye 2s? I was looking at getting some pings but am getting swayed to some Taylormades instead.
Regular sounds better than senior.....although at this point all I want is to hit it longer again....
also looking at Taylormade Burner 2.0 and Titleist ap2s with regular shafts....still not sure if senior shafts are the way to go in my woods...which are all PING....drive consistently about 220 yards...but once again very high...
Forged or Cast?
Question on getting a new set of clubs for Father's Day....
I play to a 13 handicap ( and use to be 5)...have lost a lot on distance (my kids always tell me Dad...remember when you could consistently hit inside the 150 markers?....yahyahyahyah! I play with a set of Callaway Big Bertha 2002 irons...with Stiff Shafts...I can hit them high...but....I must be losing some distance because I hit them so high ( hit my 7 iron 135 yards) ...A couple of my friends tell me I should go to a lighter shaft...like regular in my irons and senior in my woods....I get told just suck it up after are you are 60? now??
Any thoughts??
I have been looking at Taylormade RSI 2....and also Callaway X2 hot...I don't have any problem getting the ball in the air...but so want some distance back again to challenge the juniors and most of all "shut up my sons"!!!!!!
Cheers................

That is tooooo funny.....that is going to all my Dutch Uncles.....
Phil Mickelson for Dustin Johnson....thanks
Gee that makes it easier....cheers
so the first tee off are at 0700 hr?
Until what time do we have to make changes to our selection for the Masters...ie. when I figure that DJ cannot play at his usual best....thanks
Great...so I guess with Johnson having the luck of the Irish....there goes what could have been....poor guy!!!!
are we suppose to pick the golfer for each of the remaining tournaments now too? or do we just do it weekly?

Congratulations Elis....you smoked us in the third and final segment...thanks for putting this all together...it was truly fun! In Equestrian events I would get a 4th place ribbon....usually green!
Trumbo - Home Runs
Pujols - RBI
Put it this way....I never played organized baseball when I was a kid....but because of my boys...I get to "drive everywhere" to take them to play....I have been a coach, a manager, a league executive and treasurer and my boys even acted as translater when they have played against teams that don't speak english. My kids know more about baseball than I do....my son that helped me with this knows all the stats....period! I never bet against him when he wants to bet on a piece of trivia (as he already knows the right answer to the question)....proud dad.
I had my 17 year old son help me with that pick....his logic was he doesn't like any other team in that division...but since I needed to pick one then the Angels were the one that had as good a chance as any....

I have all that and then some....still need the truck...make it a MACK!!!
but we will still enjoy the pick 5 golfers for the 4 majors as we have enjoyed doing the last (I can't remember how long now) years....that you put together so well....so I can atleast fantasize that I could play at that level....want me to drive the ball 350 yards....maybe with a truck...
Jon Rahm for the Shell.....thanks!
Indeed you do....
do not pick the same player I do....and you win....as your last bunch of players have made good coin....oh to do that playing the sport I love....
Wow ELIS....can you be caught? That is one heck of a pick or picks....you have been on fire....
Nice going!!!
Can you pick horses the same way? if so we should talk.....
well said....If I know Wayne I can well imagine what he was said....hehehe
yes...got you in the final but the way that DJ is playing right now...I wish I could pick him each week....its like a stock...you let your winners run.....having the Great One for a father-in-law I am sure helps more than we will ever know....knowing how to do all the little things that make a champion are lessons that I keep harping on my kids....you want to be a champion you have to do the things that no one else is doing....period!!
Thanks....I still think that in the Diehard tourney on investorshub...the pro I pick should be paying me not to pick him....I see that Ian Poulter has kept my string alive of picking the golfer that would miss the cut....that makes 3 in a row now....but I got lucky with matchplay
