Come on guys - it's now officially Masters Week. Time for pondering is almost up.......

The Rules again:
* 100 DollarPounds each to spend
* Pick 3. Simples!

Lets see those entries flooding in.

As usual, Mike, thanks for organizing this 2026 Masters contest. You always bring out the worst.....oops, best in us competitive beasts.
I am waiting until tomorrow evening to pick my golfers. I'm still pondering.....

Tidbits I could or could not find:
*Morikawa is playing through a back injury.
*Zalatoris is nowhere to be found on the tee times. He did play last weekend in his attempted comeback from his injuries. He is NOT listed in the final 91 player field.
*I put players in RED that have been picked and in DARK RED if picked by multiple protagonists (which is allowed).

For a tee time preview, here is a list from ESPN.
Note: The article states those tee times are EST.

What. No Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino or Babe Zaharias? How about Jack Nicklaus?

Moston puts a lot into this, doesn't he? Makes it fun and a healthy diversion from our ineffective Mariner wimps.
