PGA Championship pick'em game and Charles Schwab Challenge thread

[JogginFrog]

Still feels weird to have the PGA Championship in May. I reprised last year's Superbru pool -- don't recall the rules, but those who took part last year should have received an email invite. Anyone can sign up via this link: https://www.superbru.com/pgachampionship/pool.php?p=12979685 or by downloading the Superbru app and searching for the pool with code: slimdude

I believe @hometown frog was last year's PGA pool winner.

Get your picks in before Thursday a.m. and earn the admiration of your KF.c friends and the grudging respect of your KF.c enemies.

Meanwhile, @Mean Purple asked for a Colonial thread, and it seems traffic is light enough to combine events. I see where Hoge and Springer are in the field, along with 17-year-old Blades Brown and 65-year-old former champ Corey Pavin.

For those in the know, how does the course look? Have the greens settled in since last year?

Is the TCU practice facility ever going to open?

Who's planning to attend? Who's grousing about prices? Feel free to weigh in.

Thanks for the thread!

I'm planning to be at Colonial Thursday, Friday and Sunday. I too am wondering about the greens. Pretty good amount of rain we have had, and the water from the sky seems to work best.

Kinda shocked what the prices have gotten to. But I can't even remember what I paid last year for tickets, so I'm sure i'll forget about this year by the 2nd trip to the bar.

Looking forward to catching some morning time in the viewing stands behind the range, and then getting my steps in.

The PGA does indeed seem odd to be happning this time of year. Still feels like The Players should have been this past weekend.

I’m in!

@JogginFrog - Do we click "Join A Pool" ? Are we Terrifying Yaks? This setup seems different.

Colonial is in the best shape its ever been from what Ive heard.

As for the TCU facility there, no clue what the hold up is.

I plan to attend Colonial. I’m interested in finding out about the pedestrian walkway/paths and if they have upgraded and improved since last year. More specifically to the back nine. It was not good! I had lot of leeway last year because of the construction; but this year I expect better patronage access to all the greens along the course. We shall see!!

I think Superbru automatically assigns entrants to a randomly named pool. Mine is Skillful Possums. Ignore that, and make sure that you have the KillerFrogs.com pool selected. If not, I think click Add a Pool, and search for KillerFrogs.com.

I think we have 4 entrants at the moment. Still time for folks to get their entry in!

Got my picks in and joined the pool. Sent it to my son again as well.

I’ll be at colonial at least one round next week.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

OK, I actually joined! So you pick one player from each of the four Bands, right? I assume we just do Round One now? And after the round is over, you can change your picks for Round Two?

 

[FroggleRock]

Pretty decent field at Colonial this year. I was a little worried, the list 1-2 months ago was pretty bad.

 

[ShreveFrog]

OK looks like I'm in. Thanks, @JogginFrog !

That is correct. In this version you can change your picks each day. Thanks for joining!

So would you say Charles Schwab or the Dalai Lama is the biggest hitter?

 

[JogginFrog]

Play starts Thursday at 6a Central. So, get those picks in!

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Can we see our fellow poolmates' picks?

One of the downsides of a free game site is that Superbru tends to be very slow in updating/posting results. If I recall, you will be able to see others' picks, but maybe not until tonight.

We have 13 entries--thanks to all for joining!

so I'm not the only one who watches that? good, don't feel like such a fanatic now. lol.

I would have picked Ryan Gerard, or whatever his name is, if he had been an option for today.

Yeah, right. Lol.
Who are these dang guys topping the leader board? Never heard of most.
I think I jinxed Rory by picking him!
