THE MASTERS
Four of my friends, that are Professional Gamblers, contacted me recently about if I wanted to join in on their Betting Point Pool for the Masters.
After much talking, I finally agreed, as did Tequila (she does not know any better)
The Rules are quite complicated, so I needed to drink some Mezcal/Mescal (well, more than some to try and figure this out.).
Each of us (total of 5), must put into the Pot $15,000.00 each.
Than we pick 15 players each.
No two players can have the exact same 15 players.
NOTE: 14 of your Players can be the same as another Player; but then the 15th Player must be different.
The Winners get:
1st Place $30,000.00
2nd Place $18,000.00
3rd Place $12,000.00
The Prize $$$, is based on some absurd point system of how the Players did in the tournament as follows:
--Winner
--2nd Place Finisher
--3rd Place Finisher
--Number of your Players in Top Five
--Number of your Players in Top Ten
--Number of your Players in Top Fifteen
--Fairways in Regulation
--Greens in Regulation
--Most Eagles
--Most Birdies
--Least total number of Putts
--Longest Putt
--Longest Drive
--Closet to Hole (Par 3’s only)
--Scrambling
--Shot of the tournament
--Best looking Wife/Girlfriend (just kidding, well…)
--Etc.
If any of you KNOW Golf and follows the PGA closely, maybe you can give us your thoughts on the 15-Players you would pick.
Tequila and I are once again at an impasse; she wants to pick Players with the most difficult names to pronounce…go figure.
Your thoughts please…I NEED HELP HERE.

Would love to see Mickelson in the fight. He's aging and fading fast. No Tiger? He's working hard on one last run through the Majors, you know...

Missed Woods completely...Perhaps I received a knock on my noggin I've forgotten.
Thanks for asking about the new business. I sold my first system a couple of days ago, and it was a nice, big system that will net me nearly a months pay...Can't wait to crank out a few more...I'm still having fun with it...
Yep, we are doing fine, and so are both of our massive dogs and our average size cat...They talk to us a lot, but they tend to channel their conversations through me... (:

WELL, well, well...WE need a miracle to win our Master's Point Base Bet/Pool.
But on the other-hand WE are having a Grand 4-days. We are THRILLED to have the Masters & the Yankees on the same 4-days.
I used to be thrilled (back in the early 80's--when I was in my early 30's) over a 4-day weekend to have:
1. Three female model types over.
2. An unlimited menu of Drugs
3. With an unlimited supply of Champagne, Good French Wine, Tequila, Mescal, Vodka, etc.
4. Music from the 'Summer of Love'
5. All four of us prancing around my apt. naked
6. Sex off the Wall
7. A good supply of Sushi, Great Burgers, Pizza and NYC type Deli-Sandwich's
9. Sex Toys
8. A Doctor on call
Today, at 65 years-old, I am thrilled when for 4-days I can:
1. Watch the New York Yankees
2. Watch the Masters
3. To have a Clicker to do #1 & #2 at the same time
4. Have a menu of drugs
5. With an unlimited supply of Champagne, Good French Wine, Tequila, Mescal, Vodka, etc.
6. Having Tequila jabbering away as WE watch the Yankees & The Masters
7. Hanging New Pictures/Artwork or Moving Current Pictures/Artwork around my Casa
8. Listening to music from 'The Summer of Love'.
9. Eating Tacos
10.Spending time with my dogs/cats
11.Working on my hundreds of plants in my gardens
11.Not to have an Windows-10 update during these 4-days
12.Having an ample supply of my TEN Meds I need to take daily.
13.Being able to WALK.
14.Being able to get to bathroom in time
"The TIMES Are A'Changing..." Go figure.

Just think, you now invite the same three models over, but you'd beg them to stay dressed...

NO...the Models would BEG me to remained dressed!!! Tequila & I were going CRAZY watching the Masters as two of our picks charged towards the lead...
I was foaming at the mouth watching Spieth make his unbelievable charge, while Tequila was screaming at him, "Set The Record..."
But the miracle never came for us...go figure.
WE might have a shot at either 2nd or 3rd place???
WE will not know the final winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd places) until Thursday; maybe as early as Wednesday. I have spoken to three of the other four and they didn't have Reed as a pick...so much for professional gamblers.
PLUS the Yankees lost = Bad Day At Black Rock for Do Me & Tequila.

I was just
I was just
I was just
Sitting here thinking
I would rather
I would rather
I would rather
Go blind, child
Than to watch Tiger
Put on another green jacket...
By the time the Tiger phenomenon had reached it's apex, I had already grown weary of the man that I saw as a spoiled man-child. It would seem that as he ascended deeper and deeper into adult-hood the disappointment I felt for his character continued to grow as he married a beautiful young model and then still had to go out at night for candy. I felt a bit sad for her, as though she were Sue in the Harry Chapin classics "Taxi" and "Sequel", or perhaps the girl in the Eagles classic "Lyin' Eyes". She had seen here way in to the relationship as the cornucopia of life, only to find that it wasn't all it seemed...Or perhaps the queen in Jim Croce's "He wanted so hard to be King"...
He built a castle
To harbor his queen
But the queen thought
He built her a jail...
If you want to find the longest odds for a Masters Winner, take a look at their bellies and look for the roundest belly on the course. Select that man as your long shot. At least if you win, you'll win a nice pot...

SADF NEWS FOR US: We finished Fourth & got no $$$. I blame Tequila for picking Players with foreign names that I couldn't pronounce.

Speaking of gambling...I don't think Memphis has been posting on here or Scout. This transition sure cost the "club" a lot of members...
