This should be easier for ones who don't know much than hockey was, its easy to look up each golfer and see where he's played well, where he's won, his stats.

I disagree. I feel it was really easy looking best NHL players of all-time. You didn't have to worry about where they played their best at (its called ice), or other stuff I know nothing about.

I say we don't designate a certain course. Why not just draft best players not best players at pebble beach or where you decide?

I remember when I was growing up a special time I had with my dad was playing on our old computer Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Yes I know real golf is better but this was something we could do when he got home from work and didn't cost us anything. I totally forgot about this game until I was googling for players for this draft. Ahhh great memories with my dad.

I watched a lot of Golf in the mid to late 70's and the 80's.

I would say name dropping but I'm unsure if you helped me or confused me more.

I guess my point was more about hockey is a team sport so players could have better numbers because of teams they played on. Golf it's all you...

Just a side note, Michigan St. does not belong in this game.

I disagree maybe because I am a Big 10 fan but MSU held Bama to only 10pt before halftime. 1 bad play by Cook before the half could have made it 7-10. Michigan St is holding the Heisman Trophy winner to only 65yds so far. What I am saying is Michigan States offense shouldn't be in this game and they haven't been but their defense surely is. Lets go MSU lets start some drives.

Nos is almost at 25,000 posts. Future congrats!!! :suds:

Seriously Nos do you remember the days where you were at 5,000 posts and it was a big deal (I thought) when you hit 10,000 posts. I was under 500 posts I believe when I started Mock Drafts. Lastly Pack 500 was at 200 posts for awhile. He now has 2,700 and I bet 2,000 of those 2,700 are picks. He doesn't talk much but when he does people listen. So @femurov today you have 384 posts but if you stay with us :hope: drafting I bet you will be over 1,000 in just a couple of months.

I think when I started the drafts I was around 2,500 posts and Ritz I don't even think you were at more than around 500. I remember when I hit 20,000 someone told me they were gonna catch me they were at like 15,000 I said ummm I don't think so i'll just keep pulling further away and it is solely because of our drafts.

I guess it's cool to watch all of our post counts grow but we aint ever catching Clarkson who has at least a few hundred of his posts here with us. Whats best for me about this is the friendships I have made. I already knew 500, Smitty and Hockey from cBS. Hockey and I had our run ins there too, lol... It's so easy to piss him off. But the friends I have made here on the hoop are awesome, UK, Ritzy, WLK even the Milkster and now more recent people like EHB, Stoke and even more recent like Mebert and Femur, you guys are seriously all good people no matter how much Ritz complains to me about you!

God Bless all of you, thank you all for making me continue to want to do this and a very Happy and Safe New Year to you all!

What if each game the player picks the course.
So I have the last pick in the first round I pick the course we play on, next round my opponent chooses

Next round might be somebody that picked the course in the first round.
