Greetings Putter Enthusiasts!

I'm excited to announce our first contest. The rules are simple...the prizes are amazing.

Here's how you play:

Step 1: Read the rest of this email/post.

Step 2: Click on this thread -> http://www.puttertalk.com/community/index.php/topic,596.0.html

Step 3: Pick your player, and the score you think they'll shoot in relation to par for the Tournament.

Step 4: Sit back and enjoy the Tournament!

*** NOTE ***
There is a list of the current pics on pages 3 and 4 of this thread. We'll update it once a page.
************

Rules:

#1 - "Price Is Right" style guessing. Guess the winning player AND score WITHOUT going over. If someone guesses "Woods, Tiger at -25" and he wins at -24, they went over.

#2 - Voting is locked on Thursday, April 5th @ the time of the first tee shot. Then...we all sit back and watch.

Tips:

#1 - THINK about your guess. Look at the past scores at Augusta and think to your self..."Is -30 a reasonable score?"

#2 - LOOK at what people before you have guessed. Only one score per player. If someone already has "Beem, Rich @ -3" you can't pick that score. You can have him at -2 or -4, but not -3. If 2 people post the same score by accident, you have 5min to modify your post. If you mess up, you have until 8:00AM EST on April 5th to change your guess..

Winner:

One and only one winner will take home the ENTIRE lot of prizes. If nobody wins, the prizes get rolled into the next Major.

ANY/ALL registered Putter Talk Members are eligible. One entry per person.

Have fun!
