24FAN4EVER | OMG!!! My man Darren Clarke just won The British Open!!! YEAH!!! I also hit Love III in 9th. My lowest golfers were McIlroy & Jiminez in 25th, which still pays $300,000, so I should be looking good. Would be nice to finally score something for a change, after 3 wks of dropped scores. lol

24FAN4EVER | Ahhh..a lefty, hey? My mom & brother are lefties too. ha Phil is playing spectacular & is now tied for the lead! YEAH!! As much as I'd like that extra $250,000 for exact place, I would love for him to win & get that monkey off his back. So glad I put him in!

gramps1 | Did the same as you did 24 went with Rory over Rickey to bad for us there, Rory over par again today, leaders just going off not doing to bad so far, Would love to see Phil win it ( I'm left handed)
7/17/2011 9:31:53 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Congrats so far gramps...hope you continue doing well. I have DJ in 6th & knew he would do well, but didnt expect him to challenge for the lead. Sounds like we have most of the same players. Did anyone take Ricky? I thought about it, but didnt have room. Put Rory in instead. What a bad call.
7/17/2011 5:37:59 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Thanks ironman. Back at ya! Well said. We all have to live with our picks so we're all in the same boat. Good luck to all of us. By the looks of this course so far, we're gonna need all the luck we can get. lol
7/17/2011 5:29:38 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | LMAO gramps! MCAflop...good one! He looked terrible. What a disappointment! But todays a new day, so lets hope he pulls it together when it really counts. I still have faith.
7/17/2011 5:18:48 AMEST |
gramps1 | Not doing to bad for a change like I said Clarke is the man to beat Johnson is a bit of a shock got him at 10 not 2 got Phil at 7 Glover at 6 Jimenez at 7 two other guys just out of the top ten then it's Rory McAflop I can see the O coming their, what was he thinking today or was he?
7/16/2011 8:31:38 PMEST |
gramps1 | well just got home and read all the post , whats the beef It was posted weeks ago what the new cutoff time would be for this tour. gee
7/16/2011 8:20:42 PMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Now...back to more important things...golf. lol Glad my man Clarke is still in the lead & 8 of my golfers are still in the top 10. But who knows what tomorrow will bring? lol

24FAN4EVER | Thanks ironman! I appreciate that. Dont get me wrong. I dont have a problem with people making mistakes. Believe me, I make them too. No one's perfect. But just have the decency to admit it when you do & dont try to blame it on someone or something else. That's all I'm saying.
7/16/2011 7:59:49 PMEST |
24FAN4EVER | It strikes a nerve when someone scre*ws up but blames it on someone else because they cant admit they made a mistake. How can you expect to play a game effectively without looking at it all week long? Whats not fair is people who dont look at the site all wk & then cry & complain they werent aware of something because they didnt look. That's ridiculous.
7/16/2011 7:34:59 PMEST |
24FAN4EVER | If your not familiar with golf by now, it's played all over the world, in different time zones, so deadline times may change from wk to wk or course to course. even if your new to the game, that shouldnt take long to figure out.
7/16/2011 6:53:49 PMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Who plays a game without knowing whats going on with it anyway? I'm sorry, but someone who doesn't look at the site all wk long, waits til the last min to make picks, couldnt take time to check the deadline(that ironman & I posted here too) & then has the nerve to get upset & blame it on someone else, is triffiling.
7/16/2011 6:36:46 PMEST |
24FAN4EVER | It takes less time to read a deadline than it does to make picks. You dont have to spend 24/7 on here to do that! If you dont have the time to keep up to date on whats going on with the game you're playing, then dont complain. It's no one elses fault or problem.
7/16/2011 6:25:24 PMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Exactly, gramps..if you've ben doing the same thing every wk, why would you need a reminder about anything? If you're gonna play the game, then you should keep up to date on whats going on. If you don't, then you have no one else to blame but yourself.
7/16/2011 11:34:31 AMEST |
gramps | You play week after week with a noon cut off date and you get that mind set. you work all week expecting to jump in Saturday prior to noon and mak your picks. then they change the rules. An automated e mail would be nice. And yes, 24fan4ever, we read but not all of us have the leisure of being in here 24/7....
7/16/2011 10:07:29 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | It's been POSTED ALL WEEK that picks had to be made BEFORE 8AM EST on SAT because of the 6 hr time difference in England where they're playing. What's not fair about that?? Dont you people read???
7/16/2011 9:03:57 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | That really stinks groston & coach! We havent had any problems, but I sympathize with you & everyone who has. I've notified them about the problems numerous times & have yet to receive a reply or resolve the problems. So I dont know what else to do either. But, I know one thing I'm NOT going to do is quit! I'm not going to let anyone or anything ruin my fun or chances of winning.
7/16/2011 8:59:38 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Against my better judgement & the odds, I relustantly put Phil in 10th. He says he's feeling great & is confident that he now has the shots he needs to play well there under those conditions. Guess we'll find out if it's just all talk soon. My stomach's in knots just thinking about. lol
7/16/2011 8:46:32 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Still undecided on Phil...had him in & took him out at least 3 times now. He's the one thorn in my side this wk.
7/16/2011 7:55:53 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | I wanted so badly to take Jiminez for the win, but couldn't pull the trigger. Main reason was because he shot a +1 yesterday in good conditions, so I was concerned how he would play in bad conditions. So, I didnt consider anyone, but him, who shot over par yesterday because if they played that poorly in good conditions, how they will play in harsh conditions.
7/16/2011 7:16:02 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Clarke's been around for yrs & is a great player. Probably one of the best unknowns, espc at courses & conditions like this, which makes him dangerous here. Plus, he seems to be the most confident, & mentally prepared of all the leaders. And lets face it, golf is very much a mental game, even more so in conditions like the ones they'll be facing this wkend.
7/16/2011 7:01:46 AMEST |
24FAN4EVER | Ironman, funny you should say that about picking someone no one knows to win. Because that's exactly what I'm doing! I'm going out on a limb & taking the Irishman, Darren Clarke, who is Rory's mentor, teammate & friend.. He's been giving Rory advice for yrs. Besides playing well & being used to these conditions, he's seeing a sports psychologist, who's helped him with his game.

LexLuther | ironman I have to agree with you...experience should pay off at the Open
