I'll post Mac's autopick in the morning, so Richard has until then.

[Tom_Doak]

Missed my third pick today while traveling, so my late replacement is the Dell hole, #5 at Lahinch, 165 yards.

Gosh darn it Tom that was supposed to be my breather hole after getting beat up on the toughest stretch of par-4's in golf with #2 @ Sebonack, #3 @ The Country Club, and #4 @ Seminole.

What's it going to cost me in a trade?

How's this for a stretch? 6 at Eastward Ho!, 7 at NGLA as a par 4 (and it should be), and 8 at Pebble.

Sounds like a good second. 

[Ronald Montesano]

THIS is when it gets interesting...folks are pulling holes out of the woodwork that somehow got overlooked.  As much as I enjoyed the golf course draft, version 2.0 is actually better...a case of the sequel outdoing the original.  Sadly, I can't imagine where we go next... Stay inspired, people!

[George Freeman]

Jim,

Thanks a million for spending A LOT of time facilitating this!  It is a really fun exercise.

I'm sure you are doing this, but can you update the first page of this thread with all the hole info for each guy and holes for each course taken, etc?  That page is a HUGE help when trying to pick, especially as we get into the later rounds.  I'm sure updating that takes some time, so thanks again for doing all this!

Cheers,

George

[Ronald Montesano]

George,

You mean you DON'T have a ten fee tall board with all the picks on it in your house, connected to your flat screen by a cable or wireless?

[Jim Colton]

All first page stuff should be updated.

By the end of this, I may have more posts than Doak!

[Kalen Braley]

All first page stuff should be updated.

By the end of this, I may have more posts than Doak!

Jim,

Excellent work keeping this thing going and well organized.

And damn you for taking CPC #8, I was going to pounce on that bad boy with my next picks as I couldn't believe how long it lasted.  I guess its payback for me taking PD #6 last round!! 

[Chip Gaskins]

Augusta National #3, Par 4
Tobacco Road #5, Par 4
Colorado Golf Club #9, Par 4

[Eric Smith]

Q: At what point can one exchange a previous pick for another? 

[Robert_Ball]

There have been many twists and turns with these schmucks taking my calls - the worst of which was losing Foxy.  One can only imagine what an archie must go through on a wonderful property!  Still, we all must eventually make our beds.

I PM'd Sean that the first at Old Course was already canucked by Matt Bosela.

Yet another nasty turn of fate.  This leaves me in a troubling position.  My revised selection is:

#1 St Enodoc 528 yards par 5
#11 Royal Dornoch 445 yards par 4
#17 Swinley Forest 170 yards par 3
