Golf: Majors Competition

[Selectabet]

I had a wee idea, just for fun (although I have asked a couple of bookies to stump up some free bets but none have been forthcoming so far) about having a competition amongst ourselves for all the majors.

The format is simple, we each pick four golfers and the person with the lowest combined score at the end of the tournament is the winner. I guess it's a bit like Fantasy Football. It would keep us having an interest in the tournament even if our bets have bombed!

I can't think of any rules that need written other than, if one of your players misses the cut, their score after round 2 is taken, although I suppose that's pretty obvious.

Lets see who can win the most Majors. What do you think?
