    Tied my best round today. Shot 77. Third time I've done it. Guess the Masters has me motivated!

    Those guys are living the dream.  Awesome to see how it has worked out for them.  Although I can't stand Tron, love the rest of the crew.

    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.  
    Yeah I took JT as one of my top 2. I’m fading spieth with all the hype he’s getting right now. I couldn’t believe Morikawa is ranked 4th.

    Not a fan of Morikawa this week with how hard they say the greens are

    The sheriff's department sure seems hell bent on covering for him too since they did no field sobriety and no toxicology was pulled. No way he was stone cold sober.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    It's wild how it all just feel into place.  It is what's really cool about it, especially when people compare it to the Barstool guys.  These dudes were just friends who liked golf and feel into a media company.

    I don't miiiiiiiiinnnnndddd Tron.  He's the take guy.  I do like him on the Trap Draw with Randy where they get into other topics and do the weekly podcast on the tournament location

    'tis one of the best days of the year.  Let's settle in.

    Speith to win
    DJ in my one and done
    Some DraftKings lineups that I love right now but will probably get smoked, per usual

    Took DJ and JT as my two in the top 13.  Seems dumb as they're so obvious, but I don't see any way both are not near the top of the leader board, so if I try to get cute and go contrarian, i could end up taking myself out of contention right away.

    Last three out of the top 13 to round out my picks are Hovland, Casey and Oosthuizen.  Love Paul Casey this week.  These 3 will make or break my chances.

    We'll see how it goes and can't wait to watch!

    Yeah the whole thing was natural the way it played out....good for them.  Tron just seems miserable and doesn't enjoy anything.  I'm a pretty salty guy myself, but he's a bit much even for me.  I haven't checked out the Trap Draw yet but have been meaning to one of these days.

    Rory struggling out there today....he hit his dad with a shot on the 7th!  Crazy.  The greens look like cement.

    Just put some money down on Matsyama to win. I was considering putting some money on him yesterday (wish I did), but now, with the lead, and +1400 odds, I'll take him.

    ^ Yeah, I just threw a little on Hideki too. I always used to bet on him and always lost. Maybe he's finally figured it out.  I feel like putting was always his issue. 



    Fucking Bubba bogies 3 of the last 4 to cost me my first wager of the weekend. God damn it.

    He's a long-shot, but the odds are too good to pass up for the leader.
