| Re: How to create an office golf "pool" The way we did it was as an auction. Everyone in drew numbers to determine the selection order. Then we selected 1 golfer. After everyone picked, we reversed the order and the last player picked 1 again, all the way back to the first. Then we did it again in the first order but stopped with everyone having 3 golfers. Then, you take those 3 golfers in your team and at the end of the tourny, sum up all the prize winnings, and there's your winner. Here is the current Field: http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/masters/field * You print out the player roster sheets, enough for everyone. Its also good to have a separate sheet of their current rankings. http://www.pgatour.com/stats/leaders/r/2006/109 * You make about 100 numbers to select out of the hat (or how ever many you need). * Then, go around the office and explain the game, if they are interested, they pay you, and they select a #. * There is a designated place everyone will meet (bar, caffiteria, meeting room, someone's office...) to select the players. Lots of fun!

| Re: How to create an office golf "pool" The way we have done in the past is similar to a football pool, and rellies entirely on luck. You take a piece of heavy paper (like construction paper) and rule it out in equal blocks, now take the roster of the master and palce a pros name in each block, at random. Now take a piece of carbon paper and sandwich it between another piece of contruction papaer blocked out identical to the one with the pros and seal them. For obvious reason the person setting up the game can not play, because he knows who is under what block. People pay for each block they wish to initial, when all blocks are filled, you can open it and reveil who has who. You can also setup pay out for 50% winner and 25% second place 15% third 10% fourth, or any break down you wish. This keeps every one from picking the same person. At $10 a block this can be a big win. If they fill up quick just do another one.,,lol,,this also introduce people to pros they normally wouldn't pay attention to and gets every body routing for different people, lots of fun, and maybe a little ribbing if you get a no name pro or a rookie, from your office mates, but how grand it is if they payoff, ribbing back at you...lol.

| Re: How to create an office golf "pool" We always get together a group of 10 guys throw in some money and have a snake draft usually 8 golfers each(you end up with a lot of gambles late but you would be suprised how many of them may make the cut and save a team). Then pay out money based upon the individual leader and the 2 low teams (your lowest 4 golfers combined score) for all 4 days with the majority of the money going to the top 2 teams on the final day. That way if you get lucky and get the first pick and get Tiger there is still a chance for everyone else. Then after the draft all of the side bets start and it really gets interesting but that is a diferent topic. |
