Talked about it after the Masters. I was in the car a bunch today so listened to the No Laying Up Pod interviewing a guy from the USGA about setup, redesign, etc. Pretty cool. Mostly because it looks like it will be pretty dry the next week. And that means carnage. I love US Open carnage.
This is the link to the pool I created. I have been in a bunch of these using this hosting site. Format is pretty simple. Pick six golfers using a salary cap format. Top four scores will count which means you almost certainly need four guys to make the cut to win. If three of the six make the cut, your fourth score will be the worst round shot on Saturday and then, again, Sunday. With this course and with the amount of amateurs who are playing, it might honestly be something in the high 80s/90 that counts for you. That means you will not be winning. So, try to get four and have a chance.

Fee: $25
Venmo: @bshay21. Please do not say "Dear IRS, this is a pool for gambling" in the note. Just whatever username you use for the pool. I'll figure it out.
Payout: If we have less than ten (which would be criminal), the winner will get it all. If it is 10+, winner will get 80%, 2nd place will get 20%. The tiebreaker question is winning score. If that is tied, we will go whatever single golfer in your picks shot the best round in any of the four rounds. Tie after that, we will split.
Fees: The site charges $20 for the first ten entries. I will happily pay that because I love (most) of you. That also pays for the British Open. There is a small fee per entry above that which I will subtract out of the payout. Feel free to invite friends, family, criminal associates.
I am defending a member/guest title starting next Friday/Saturday but will certainly checking in depending on bourbon level. And god bless whatever human being put the final round on Father's Day. I have an early April bday so I usually get birthday weekend during the Masters. My wife (does not) loves this. Tier 1A sporting events.
Let's get it to 25 entries!!
