Quote of the day
"He heard the big elephant coming." -- Boston DH David Ortiz, who scored from third when catcher Joe Mauer muffed the throw to the plateDaily blurb
DraftStreet is launching a new PGA contest format this week. For those of you unfamiliar with DraftStreet, it offers daily and weekly contests for all of the major sports, which can be head-to-head contests or multiple player contests. Typical contests cost $5 to enter, although there is a range of price/prize structures, including free contests.
For golf, you have a bankroll of $100,000 to assemble a team of 6 golfers. Points are awarded based on individual hole scores and also tournament finish:
Albatross: 4.5 pts
Eagle: 2
Birdie: 1
Par: 0.2
Bogey: -0.6
Dbl bogey & worse: -1.6
1st place finish: 8 pts
2nd: 5
3rd: 4
4-10: 3
11-25: 2
26-50: 1
Note that each golfer is scored independently. This is not a best ball format.
I printed out a listing of player prices for the PGA Championship in the Golf Forum. Rory McIlroy is the most expensive at $28,430. Rocco Mediate is the cheapest at $6,338.
