GCA Draft

« **on:** April 24, 2003, 08:25:24 PM »

OK. The SECOND ROUND of the GCA draft will commence. Same rules apply--that includes the first-come, first-served rule. That means you're not bound to select in the same order as previously. It also means that anyone can make submissions

The first round is summarized below. We'll have the same number of selections this round (if enough interest).

As commissioner, I'll submit the first selection of the second round too.

They are:

Selected as the first pick in the SECOND ROUND by Carlyle Rood (and 13th overall):

(a) Golf Course Architect: GEORGE THOMAS
(b) Golfer: WALTER HAGEN
(c) Captain: TOM WATSON
(d) Course: PEBBLE BEACH

I wonder how Vardon lasted until the second round.

I can think of another significant British Open champion (and golf course architect) that hasn't been selected too!

All right,

1)I'll take Tom FAZIO, yes you heard it
2) Elin Nordegren, I'll take Tiger's better half (Now Phil, can I ask for an appeal to your ruling, I really want Nordegren)
3)Hal Sutton, Go U.S.A.
4)Friar's Head

How the heck did Tillinghast and Pine Valley last this long?

Commissioner disqualifies Nordegren. Again, the "Hootie" test was failed. (And why not pick Fazio?)

Ok how about Mike Weir

He was selected No. 8 in the first round.

Only THREE MORE selections permitted in the SECOND ROUND!

Hurry! Oh, my.

I figure we'll close it off after the second round. I guess we could start a new thread commenting on the final selections and the GLARING OMISSIONS! I think the order of some of these pick is HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE too.

« **Reply #18 on:** April 24, 2003, 09:03:34 PM »

Okay , Maybe Phil

This is an outrage, why do I have to replace Elin with Lefty.

« **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2003, 09:04:57 PM »

Phil has bigger...nah, I won't go there.

I thought Andrew meant Bob Charles?

« **Reply #21 on:** April 24, 2003, 09:12:37 PM »

Alright, I'm using executive privilege as commissioner to make another selection in the SECOND round.

a. ROBERT TRENT JONES, SR.
b. BYRON NELSON

d. BETHPAGE BLACK

Does this open the flood gates?

« **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2003, 09:14:32 PM »

Yep. But, it's getting harder! There are only TWO MORE SELECTIONS by my count.

« **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2003, 09:15:13 PM »

I mean if this opens up the floodgates, I'll take Elin's twin sister. She has to play golf, doesn't she.
