2016 Prediction Contest - Brent Hambrick

[discguy42]

Before 2nd round: up to 80% of the potential points

MPO
Paul McBeth
Wysocki
Sexton
Bradley Williams

FPO
Catrina Allen
Sarah Hokom (even though she and Val were essentially tied through the 25th hole).

B1 - Innova
B2 - McBeth - kinda disappointed that nobody picked Simon, though...ah, but dg42 picked Uli :clap:
B3 - Of course, the top 3 had to be tied after the first round...ugh. Let's say Melody Waibel, cause she had the most pars. 5th Place.
B4 - 37 strokes under par.
B5 - MPO&FPO 3 times on East course (3x(-11+2)), and once on final 9 (-4+1?), and the Masters (-7), and the Grandmasters (0), and Sandra Frazer (3x23) = -27 - 3 - 7 - 0 +69 = 32. 32 strokes over par. I guess I should say negative 32 strokes under par.

We have what are arguably some double negatives in a few predictions. Does this mean somebody besides me actually thinks we'll have combined strokes OVER par? What say you dg42, VictorB, DougCrawford, Dino Thunder, others...? opcorn:

Paul Uli was registered last night when I checked the pdga page for the event, so I blame them for that :thmbdown:. Is his hand bothering him still? A few picked him as one of their MPO top 5 finishers too.

Bonus #5, I really was going to not answer it any way because I suck at math AND did not want to think that hard for a 2 point question I was gonna get wrong anyway....

I may have been smoking crack at the time, but wasn't JohnE registered for masters too? I thought I saw that

I dunno, man. As one of the few (only?) 80 percenters, I wasn't paying much attention to the list before the first round. Chalk it up as another plus side to taking the delayed predictions option? Which, btw, I thought was a much more enticing option this time. Surprised nobody else has chosen it yet.

And dg42, I thought you were simply being ironic. Oh well, it doesn't matter as long as somebody besides beastsock shoots the hottest round.

New OP: what is McBeth and Wysocki's couples name?

 

[zud00]

Better late than never

60% since I missed picking before the first two rounds and well, 60% is better than 0%.

He played maybe half the first round and had to drop out for health related reasons.

Something about the sulfur smell coming off the Dam. It is quite pungent.

 

[sprintermatt]

Sulfur from the dam? Afraid of eternal DAM-nation?

Bump for bonus answers...anybody know them all?

I know a few except for numbers 1 and 5 ?

B2 - McBest
B3 - Melody W
B4 - 36 under
B5 - 34 over par

 

[DougCrawford]

Any chance of an update on score totals from the last few?

 

[discallday]

I don't know why I didn't start this earlier, but here are the BH subtotals. Blank cells correspond with zero points. I got 2 points for B5 (combined over/under strokes to par) and zud got 1 point. I was a little closer, and everybody else appeared to be on the wrong side of zero. The tournament website might have been a little misleading about what would happen with the solo lady grand master player...

Congrats to adlacro and Hyzer Ale. I'm going to try to post updated totals soon, but I don't know that we'll have had a chance to double-check them. Let me know if you notice that your score is different from how you calculated it.

 

[discguy42]

Nice totals with the point break downs :thmbup:.
