    Wow, how's this for timing? We were just talking about Tiger Woods Golf

    That's cool.  I played it for the first time last night.  I shot a -2 on the medium level.  Tee to green wasn't too hard.  Putting was pissing me off as I kept missing low side.

    A tip is that you only have to move the cursor left or right to account for the break. Distance-wise, the marker starts in the right place. Once you get down moving the cursor left or right for the break, I think it's easier to putt on this game than the Tiger EA games.

    Yeah I figured that after I rammed an uphill 30 footer off the green.  Felt like real life.

    Golf rules. 40 degrees out. Playing the first real course I’ve played in a year. Showing up late while we’re on the tee, shoes untied. “This might be ugly, boys”... pipe a drive. Perfect 8 in to 20 feet. Burned the birdie putt for a couple inch tap in par. 

    Cold topped the next tee shot

    Nothing better than roasting your tee shot on the 1st.  But come on now Cliffy, can't be late for a tee time!

    Technically it wasn’t my fault. I went in the pro shop for balls/tees and dude took forever

    Yeah it happens.  Those early morning tee times always get me because I usually have to take a dump in the clubhouse 2 mins before teeing off.  But for real, nothing worse than the guy in your group who always shows up late for tee times.  

    70 and sunny tomorrow here...teeing off at 2pm.  First local round of the year.  Played 72 holes in West Palm Beach a couple weeks ago and it was glorious.

    It’s 70 in Chicago tomorrow? Cold as fuck here today. I’m not the late guy. I’ll be there but I’m hungover as shit wishing I wasn’t there until the first green. Then I’m all in. Enjoy dude

    The reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.

    Took Spieth to win the masters at 16 to 1 a few weeks ago.  He's down to 9 to 1 now.  I like the odds but it's just so hard for a guy to win 2 weeks in a row....kinda wish he came in 2nd yesterday.  Oh well....it's Masters week!

    I got him at 33-1 during one of those crazy putts he had at the waste management. Only did $20 I think though.

    Right.  Tough to have that emotional Sunday and then come back and do it again. Perhaps it will free him mentally to just have fun this week.

    Phil and Sandy Lyle are apparently the only two to win the Masters as well as the tournament the week before.

    I think Jordan's got a shot though with the way he's been putting. Seems like he's just gotten better and better each week this year. I put a little money on him yesterday at 10-1.

    I'm getting in a Masters pool where I need to pick 2 golfers from the top 13 (world rankings) and 3 golfers from the rest of the field.  The winner of the pool is based on combined net score between the three golfers I select.  I know a few of you are pretty dialed into this from a gambling perspective.  Any "picks to click" this week using those parameters?  Thanks for any suggestions.

    I'm all in on Justin Thomas.  No one seems to be talking about him much....everything seems to be focused on Spieth, DJ and Bryson.

    Took DJ in my one and done. 

    Will do a bunch of Draft Kings lineups tonight.  Maybe some top 10 bets, but probably leaving my winner pick on Speith.

    Took JT in my one and done.  I'm also in dead last place out of 58 people right now....impressively bad.  Have been trying to get too cute with it and picking obscure guys.  So dumb.

    Have a DK lineup for my regular weekly contest my friends and I always do.  Will prob throw a few more lineups and top 10 bets out tonight.
