Something different being tested in advance of repeating at the proper OPEN assuming it works

AIM
Complete any 1 line or full house

What must I do?
Pick 15 golfers - 3 from the top 10 players - (one top 10 pick must be in each line - you can have more than one top 10 in a line but must have at least one) and post on here as below

How do you cross them off?
A player gets crossed off when they get a DOUBLE BOGEY or worse

How do I claim?
You need to post a claim on this topic before the first tee time of the following day - all claims will then be checked and the claim with the lowest combined hole combination will win (Regardless of starting holes ) ie if your 5 achieved DOUBLE bogey (OR WORSE) on holes 1,5,7,12,18 then your total is the 43.

In a rather evil twist for the full house and potentially the line :- the hole totals revert back to 1-18 on each day rather than becoming 19-36, 37-54 etc so if there is no claim on day one then it is all back in for day 2 and those of you with more players around at the weekend will have better chance of getting close to a full house (I really have no idea if anyone will get there!!)

The top 10 - going to go with the golfing gods of OFL - Kaymer / Westwood / Donald / McDowell / Mcilroy / Mickleson / Casey / Kuchar / Stricker / D Johnson

So an example entry could be
Kaymer Els Harrington Kim Hoffman
Casey Mahan B Watson Yang Hend
D Johnson M Campbell Funk Turnesa Harto


Please do include both names where appropriate

So any questions then please shout

Winner of the line gets £5 and Full house or most numbers crossed off will get £15 to invest in the propoer OPEN

(PS Any outstanding claims from the previous tipping comp then please let me know so I can transfer via paypal)

McDowell - Haas - Fowler - Els - Mahan.
McIlroy - Laird - Sabbatini - Rose - Baddeley.
Casey - Woodland - Villegas - Toms - Schwartzel.

Oh, oh. I just remembered that I'm playing in the 'Fiso Scottish Open' on Friday and I'll be away from Thursday to Saturday so I won't be able to post a claim if I win.

Quite possibly the maddest game ever

Row 1. McDowell, Shane Lowry, Cheng Tsung-Pan, David Chung, Hiroyika Fujita
Row 2. Casey, Christo Greyling, Adam Hadwin, Joey Lamielle, Patrick Cantlay
Row 3. D. Johnson, Chez Reavie, Christopher Deforest, Chris Williams, Wes Heffernan

I envisage the OPEN version may add a few extra blocks so that anyone who might pick the minimum number of top players and fill will also rans will not be able to do so

I don't know what you mean

Anyone who doesn't pick McIlroy or Fowler in this must be mad..........alright AK?

Loving the comp Paddy, most satisfying strategy will be picking all 6 active players in your best performing OFL team.

One way or another you'll be happy

Kaymer - Lafeber - David Howell - Cantlay (A) - Sisk
Mcilroy - Sangmoon Bea - Pinckney (A) - Gealy - DeForest
Mickleson - Hossler (A) - Petrovic - Quiros - Willcox

Beau Hossler - Steven Irwin - Brian Locke - Chris Williams - Dustin Johnson

Adam Hadwin - Wes Heffernan - John Ellis - Michael Whitehead - Rory Mcilroy

Dae-Hyun Kim - Andreas Harto - Zack Byrd - Brad Adamonis - Ricky Fowler

You mean Double Bogey?

Casey-Poulter-Hamilton-Stenson-Na
Kuchar-Pat Cantlay-Kirk Triplett-Alexandre Rocha-David May
D. Johnson-Bubba Dickerson-Christo Greyling-Beau Hossler-Will Wilcox

Haven't said this for a long time.....where's Michael Campbell when you need him?
Crazy game. Love it.

MCILROY - J ROSE- M LAIRD- R FOWLER -MICHAEL WHITEHEAD
MCDOWELL -RYAN NELSON -BRAD BENJAMIN -MICHAEL TOBIASON JR -ADAM LONG

Cheers Paddy, an OFL failure you may be , but you're the Manny Pacquiao of golf comps

Step forward...Marc Turnesa - the first person to make a double bogey (his first hole, the 10th).

Turnesa 10th
Campbell 11th
Levet 10th
Siem 10th

Could be a long list by tonight

Just need McDowell and William (Bud) Cauley for a line

Ryo Ishikawa, Scott Piercy, Brad Benjamin in the bag

Quiros and Hossler come on lads you can do it

Great to see McIlroy hit the top at -4 after 10 holes.............only a matter of time before he racks up a double bogey to complete my line

There goes Hossler, come on Quiros !!

Just need Chris Williams (a) to complete a line. He is currently on the 12th.....

Quiros lets me down by playing amazingly consistently on the back 9. Grrr.

Rubbish so far

3 of my selection of nobodies are currently under par

Well, I would have done better by picking players from my OFL & Yahoo teams! 5/15 scored double bogeys.

Casey - Kevin Chappell - Davis Love III - J Rose (18th) - B Crane
McDowell - Todd Hamilton (7th) - Heath Slocum (10th) - Michael Campbell - David Howell
D Johnson (11th) - Geoff Ogilvy - Els (11th) - Louis Oosthuizen - Stenson

Q: So do the 5 that I highlighted from Round 1 stay crossed-off or is it start again completely each round?

Cheers,

Hi
I was always out of action yesterday -hence the self claim format
People still have until 3pm uk to check and claim a line.
All crossed off players remain so but hole numbers are back to 1-18 so any left uncrossed at present will do you the greatest honour by getting a double on a low hole number!
Worst case for anyone would be to have a player doing bogey golf-missed cut with no double would limit your chances to countback!

Pleased to see that it wasn't all about minim to picks and a lot of Who are you'd

I still think however for fullnhouse prospects this may prevail

Will check my example later - probably no better or worse than the next persons

Here is to no claim and an atrocious day of golf

Needless to say I am not completely unhappy with the leaderboard as although I am doing rubbish I am sure I am not alone
Hence this game -let us celebrate failure :0)

Bloody great

Didn't even look like getting a bogey, let alone a double

I'm actually glad, well done Rory, keep it up my son!

Reckon he might just do it this time

Doing a Tiger and winning by 12 shots is what we really need

So,

if you have already crossed off a player from the 1st round, he stays crossed off for the 2nd and subsequent rounds and you are just looking at the ones you have left on day 2 - Is that correct?
