Kujo, first congratulations to you for winning the playoff. Man you were awesome. Second, a correction. PKB is 3rd and I'm fourth, and not the other way as you put it.kujoku wrote:

I suspected it and now it is confirmed - 2nd time in two weeks I lost on the final day by mere two points. Last week, Suresh overtook me in a close finish and this time PKB repeated the feat. Anyway - congratulations PKB! Wasn't I spot on when I said
Look at the standings, I beat everyone but the person with the Midas touch. But I've satisfaction that I gave him tough fight.ajay wrote: PKB will be a tough challenge for me. He may be spending less than 2 minutes for picking his players, but he has Midas touch.
Thanks Kumar for an excellent idea of playoff in our gof contest. Thanks Kujo and Atithee for keeping the show running.

Re: Golf Contest PlayOffs- 2007
Congrats to Kujo, Suresh and PKB for top 3 finish ...
It was brilliant idea by Kumar to play this playoff with these new rules ... And also hatsoff to Kujo for all hardwork related contest.
I feel this format was successful and we should think to use this format in some tournaments to add more fun and keep interest of our all contestants.

Congratulations Kujo. I am an undeserving second -- thanks to squeaking by in just about every round.

Re: Golf Contest PlayOffs- 2007
Ajay, I have no Midas touch! This week, your magic propelled me to the top by some sort of rope trick! Anyway, the play-offs were fun. Congratulations to the champ, Kujoku!
Re: Golf Contest PlayOffs- 2007
My win is undeserving too. I just won the individual matchups. But really, it was Ajay / PKB or others who did better in all the 3 playoff contests we had...
Meaning, if it was exactly the same format as the FedEx playoffs, our contest would have had a different winner.
cheers

Re: Golf Contest PlayOffs- 2007
So, are we going to arrange a play-off between the new Tiger Woods (Kujoku) and the previous holder (Bhushan)? Like the old Challenger Round in the Davis Cup?
Anyway, we need some off-season (or post-season) action in the golf contest. Any ideas? How about limbering up with a few EPGA and APGA event contests?

PKB, good suggestion for off-season or post-season action ... Hopefully our creative minds (Kumar, Ajay, Kujo and Atithee) bring something new ...

Re: Golf Contest PlayOffs- 2007
Well, I have to confess something here. I thought of waiting till the end of the year to do this, but what the heck....
All golf contest picks by me in the past were all randomly generated by a computer!! The playoffs (last 3 contests) we did are the only exceptions; when I picked them manually.
There are atleast a couple of reasons on why I did this.
1. I had no clue about which players to pick other than the top few names (and Arjun, Daniel); I never even heard of other players.
2. wanted to test the random choice Vs educated guess theory. some times (lots of times) a monkey does better by making a random choice than a human being who makes an educated guess!
Yes, even the only time I won the contest (climbing from bottom to top), was by random picks. When it came to the playoffs, I decided to try and beat the monkey choices (so to say) by making an educated guess!
cheers

ps: there, I said it. meant no offense to any of the other contestants!
