Masters of Your Domain ...

Other bad titles include:
Masters and Servant (anyone remember that Depeche Mode song. Weird song. Anyone? Anyone ....)
Masters of the Universe
Masters of Disaster
Masters of the Fairway (like Monsters of the Midway, but not really)

I could probably go on, but I think we're good here. No matter what, it's Masters season, which coincides with Easter Sunday, which is never good if you're going to be celebrating Easter with a non-sports watching family. But alas, it will all work out -- I'll just explain that I have pride on the line.

That's right, the pride points are back for their fourth competition. Budds wrapped up the big title for the entire football season, while I took the college football pool and Maxipriest came through in college hoops. Now we're on to the least athletic pool -- golf, which means everyone can participate.

The pool goes as such. Pick any 5 golfers -- points will be decided on how they finish, first place through 25th place. Lower than 25th place, your golfer gets no points and you get no pride. None!

The points will be divvied (sp?) up as follows:

1st place (ie, winner) = 100 points (to the winner go the spoils)
2nd = 70 (the official Greg Norman Award)
3rd = 55
4 = 45
5 = 35
6 = 30
7 = 25 (the official Colin Montgomerie Award)
8 = 20
9 = 15
10 = 10
11-16 = 5 (Top 16 qualify for the 2008 Masters)
17-25 = 1 (this is where Trevor Immelman finishes)

Basically, if your dude isn't in the Top 10, he wasn't much of a threat to win the tournament. And if it's not in the Top 25, he's irrelevant. Also, there is no penalty if your golfer misses the cut -- he simply collects zero points along with his zero prize money.

OK. That's it. Submit your pick and try to become the Masters-mind of the 2007 tournament (these puns are awful, I know. And to think, McCord got bounced for saying the greens got a bikini wax. Good thing I don't work for CBS).

EJ -- For your non-sports watching family, I thought Joe was your excuse to watch the Masters on Easter, football on Thanksgiving, and every bowl game on New Year's...wasn't that one of the reasons you got married?

EJ's internet access is down, so he phoned in his picks:

Tiger
Phil
Adam Scott
Paul Casey
Seve Ballesteros


No, just kidding. His fifth pick is Davis Love III.
 
I'm submitting these having seen no results yet. You have my pride-word.

Since everyone's taking the big two, I'll go ahead and be different.
