So after 3 Rounds of the SuperBru golf prediction Championship - with 7 Rounds remaining in this best of 7 competition - our leader is currently Boddington who is leading by a small margin of 4 points over Yorkshire Dragon with MickMacP trailing in 3rd behind them. Still loads of time for the leaderboard to change greatly ... it all depends on who is the most consistent throughout the season.

The Open - round 1
and TheoVodkat breaks from the pack with a good lead, with his team collating 10 under Par but half the pack are hot on his heels ...

Image

Our overall leader in the Prediction Championship after 3 events, Boddington, breaks even on day 1 with Yorkshire Dragon (2nd overall) making it into the leading pack just behind TheoVodkat

Today should be interesting ... will everyone switch allegiances to the Americans?

2017 SBru Golf Predictor Tour - Leaderboard after 7

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The SuperBru Golf Predictor Championship Leaderboard
makes interesting reading (for some) ... it seems to be between four at the moment, but with a further 3-4 in close proximity ...

MickMacP & Yorkshire Dragon are joint leaders ... the former purely for consistency reasons, having been on 4 podiums ... the latter because he won one of the three podium finishes.

Next up is TheoVodkat and Boddington with two wins and three podium finishes apiece ...

Image

This is the best of SEVEN, so from here on in our top 7 in the leaderboard start discarding their worst results in favour of better performances (which means they might get caught by the likes of Trampie who has already used up his 3 discards ...

Not over until the fat lady sings ... keep on predicting !!

Next 2 comps are already set up & invites have gone out ...
BMW Championship starts on 14th September
(CocaCola)Tour Championship starts on 21st September
and last competition should be The Nedbank Challenge starts on 9th November

Good luck, all!!

2017 SBru Golf Predictor Tour - Leaderboard after 7

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The SuperBru Golf Predictor Championship Leaderboard

I've just had a mood change ... I shouldn't be leading without having won any one competition ... so I've changed the rules/scoring ever so slightly ...

Previously, the Winner's score in any round (competition) was defined by the number of competitors in that round, plus + 2 (for participating).
So when 18 competed, the Winner got 20 points, 2nd got one less or 19 in this example etc. So the last placed player still got 2 points for competing.

The modified scoring system now weights it slightly in favour of the Winner, giving him/her 1 extra point for the Trophy.

So in the above example where there are 18 competitors, the Winner now gets 21 points, and everybody else gets the numbers of competitors plus +2 less their rank.
Simple in a spreadsheet. Bloody pain otherwise. Net result to the Season's leaderboard is as follows:

Image

To repeat ... This is the best of SEVEN, so from here on in our top 7 in the leaderboard start discarding their worst results in favour of better performances (which means they might get caught by the likes of Trampie who has already used up his 3 discards ...

Not over until the fat lady sings ... keep on predicting !!

Next 2 comps are already set up & invites have gone out ...
BMW Championship starts on 14th September
(CocaCola)Tour Championship starts on 21st September
and last competition should be The Nedbank Challenge starts on 9th November

2017 SBru Golf Predictor - BMW Championship - Winner: graysman

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The BMW Championship
was won comfortably by graysman who succeeded in defending his large lead from round 1 and managed to hold off last round challenges from Boddington, scumbucket and Moist von Lipwig. Yorkshire Dragon who started as joint leader with graysman couldn't keep his form and shared second place with the late chargers ...

2017 SBru Golf Predictor Tour - Leaderboard after 8

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The SuperBru Golf Predictor Championship Leaderboard

after the BMW Championship is as follows ...

Image

As can be seen, the discards are beginning to kick in ...
with two rounds remaining, there is room for improvement for some of us ...
Yorkshire Dragon needs to score more than 14 to better his lead
Mick MacP should easily better his (worst) score of 8 to close the gap on Yorkshire, but will it be enough (9+ points required)
TheoVodkat, Boddington & Moist von Lipwig are also all in with a shout ...
and then there is a battle for the podium spots ...


Good luck, all!!

2017 SBru Golf Predictor - TOUR Championship - Winner: TheBigLewandowski

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The TOUR Championship
was won eventually by TheBigLewandowski who finished with a superb final round, however if it had not been for the capitulation of MickMacPaddywack who held the lead after 3 rounds, this might not have been possible. Boddington, Yorkshire Dragon, and Polarbear also leapfrogged MickMacP & battled it out for the remaining podium places.

2017 SBru Golf Predictor Tour - Leaderboard after 9

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The SuperBru Golf Predictor Championship Leaderboard
after the TOUR Championship is as follows ...

MickMacP who was in contention for the overall lead of the SuperBru Golf Prediction Tour currently held by Yorkshire Dragon has probably now blown his opportunity ...

Again, the discards are kicking in ... and this time I remembered to subtract them from the running totals.

with only one round remaining, Yorkshire Dragon needs to blow a gasket to fail to triumph, but the battle for the remaining podium places are still up for grabs ...


Good luck, all!!

2017 Final comp of the Year will commence very much later in the year (9th-12 November)

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

Final comp of the Year will commence very much later in the year (9th-12 November):

The NEDBANK Challenge in Sun City - or Sin City as it used to be know in SA back in the days where gambling and other vices were illegal in the country as a whole, but legal in this city only .... will be the deciding competition in our SuperBru Golf Prediction Tour

The Holder from 2016 is MickMacPaddywack and he is out there on the putting green now, trying to regain his form for the final showdown with Yorkshire Dragon (were they the red or the white roses?) whilst sitting quietly in the wings is the very dangerous Boddington, only 1 point behind MMP on the leaderboard (and with a discard of 9 points coming up next round, in a far stronger than MMP to improve his ranking).


For posterity, the winners of these 10 competitions that make up The Tour have been:

APR : The Masters (2015 Metal Warlord ; 2016 Horton ; 2017 Boddinton)
MAY : THE PLAYERS Championship, Sawgrass (2015 Polarbear ; 2016 graysman ; 2017 Yorkshire Dragon)
JUN : US Open (2015 Topspur ; 2016 SE ; 2017 Senor Stragglers)
JUL : The Open (2015 WindyBehind ; 2016 Topspur ; 2017 TheoVodkat)
JUL : PGA Championship (2015 Boddington ; 2016 Trampie ; 2017 Trampie)
AUG : Northern Trust (exBarclays) Championship (2015 Polarbear ; 2016 graysman ; 2017 Boddington)
SEP : Dell Tech (exDeutsche Bank) Championship (2015 Surprised ; 2016 asdral225 ; 2017 TheoVodkat)
SEP : BMW Championship (2015 Boddington ; 2016 Surprised ; 2017 graysman)
SEP : Tour Championship by CocaCola, (2015 Boddington ; 2016 TheoVodkat ; 2017 TheBigLewandowski)
NOV : NEDBANK Challenge Cup (2015 Boddington; 2016 MickMacP)

was won in style by graysman who finished the season strongly with 2 wins and 3 top 10 finishes in the last 4 competitions, to finish 6th overall in the Golf Predictors Championship for 2017. CONGRATULATIONS!!

An impressive flourish by Moist von Lipwig on the Final day didn't do enough to get him on the podium (bad luck).

2017 SBru Golf Predictor Tour Champion - YorkshireDragon

Post by Mick MacPaddywack »

The SuperBru Golf Predictor Championship
.
YorkshireDragon won the overall Golf Predictor Championship for 2017, having only once finished outside the Top10 in 10 competitions, demonstrating true consistency throughout the season.
.
Image
.
Boddington - who won the two previous years (2016, 2015) - and with 2 wins and 3 seconds in this season alone failed to retain the trophy for a third year in the row but still made it to the podium, being pipped for 2nd place by MickMacP who hadn't a win to his name all season & just wasn't strong enough as a consequence to challenge YorkshireDragon, our deserved winner. Bad luck, Boddington. Looking forward to 2018 already ...

Congratulation to YorkshireDragon, the Golf Predictor Championship for 2017
and to graysman this years The NEDBANK Challenge Champion.

Many thanks to all who participated in this years competitions ... hopefully you will all be able to return next year ... starting with the Augusta National ...
