[Carl Nichols]

Jim:
Don't know if you saw my PM, but don't use my autopicks .... some of which sucked!

[Carl Nichols]

Jim -- you stole NGLA #4!

I'll swap my 1st autopick, Shinnecock #17, for Shinnecock - No. 10, 410 yards, par 4, and then pick:

Pebble Beach - No. 7, 108 yards, par 3

Royal Portrush - No. 14, 210 yards, par 3

[Tom_Doak]

Commissioner Colton:

You missed my replacement pick of #6 at Crystal Downs, from a couple of hours back.  Luckily no one else has claimed it.

[Patrick Hodgdon]

3 hours is up for Matt... so I think JNC can make his 4 picks now.

[Jim Colton]

We have stalled out.  JNC and Matthew have until 10 am ET Sunday to make their third and fourth round picks, otherwise it's back to Carl in Rd. 4.

[Ronald Montesano]

9:59...t minus one...Carl is ready to fire his salvo...

[Carl Nichols]

I'll take:
Pacific Dunes - No. 4, 463 yards, par 4
Riviera - No. 18, 475 yards, par 4

[Jim Colton]

I'm hoping Tom can give me an approximate yardage on Sahara.

Jim T on the clock. Matt and JNC can chime in anytime...

[George Freeman]

Both George needs a replacement pick as he's already picked 10th holes.

My bad.  I will replace it with Friar's Head #15, par 4, 485 yds

One of Kevin Pallier's pics from his fantastic reviews:

[Patrick Hodgdon]

Sorry George, Alex just took Friars Head #15 via autopick.

[George Freeman]

Sorry George, Alex just took Friars Head #15 via autopick.

Ah!  You snooze you lose I guess....

OK, one hole previous, the 14th at Friar's Head #14, par 5, 535 yds

One of Ran's great pics:

[JC Jones]

Sorry George, Alex just took Friars Head #15 via autopick.

Ah!  You snooze you lose I guess....

OK, one hole previous, the 14th at Friar's Head #14, par 5, 535 yds

One of Ran's great pics:

Your drafting style is unorthodoxed; similar to your butter-fade.

[JNC Lyon]

Late again.  Here are my four picks for the two rounds:

16 at Pine Valley, 450, Par 4
11 at Shinnecock Hills, 150, Par 3
1 at Yeamans Hall, 420, Par 4
14 at Cape Kidnappers, 330, Par 4

[George Freeman]

Your drafting style is unorthodoxed; similar to your butter-fade.

60% of the time, it works every time

[Patrick Hodgdon]

Your drafting style is unorthodoxed; similar to your butter-fade.

60% of the time, it works every time

You are officially George "Sex Panther" Freeman in the tree-house from now on.

[JC Jones]

Your drafting style is unorthodoxed; similar to your butter-fade.

60% of the time, it works every time

You are officially George "Sex Panther" Freeman in the tree-house from now on.

I've seen his game, it has pieces of real panther in it.  That's how you know it's good.

[Jim Thornton]

My next picks are:

1.  Prairie Dunes, No. 2, 161 yards, Par 3
2.  Muirfield Village, No. 14, 363 yards, Par 4

George Freeman on the clock.

[George Freeman]

My next picks:

Bandon Trails #1, par 4, 392 yds


Pacific Dunes #18, par 5, 591 yds

[Richard Choi]

With my 4th round picks, I select...

#5 Bandon Dunes, Par 4, 428 yards. My favorite hole at Bandon. Beautifully framed with sand dunes with plenty of strategic elements.



And #17 at Bandon Trails, par 3, 180 yards. Probably the most dramatic par 3 at Bandon resort without the coast nearby.

[Jim Colton]

Chip is on the clock...

Everything should be current on the first page, so check over your picks and make sure it's accurate.

Because many of you aren't including yardages, it's a good thing I've been collecting scorecards on most of these courses.  Therefore, I'm subjecting you to a gratuitous plug:  http://www.golfblog100.com.  Check out the fancy new mouseover graphics on the aerial shots!  Vote on course of the decade too.
