OT: 2026 Open Golf Draft Contest & chat

[maoling]

I'd take Akshay Bhatia or Horschel if Dustin Johnson screwed the pooch and is out.

Again, totally disregard what I said. I am dealing with fraudulent charges on my checking account for the 2nd time in a month. Of course they have to cancel both my and Lynda's debit cards and tell us it takes 7-10 business days to get new one!!! In they year of our Lord 2026 when Amazon can dealer things in hour or at worst 1 day it takes them two WEEKs to send a tiny weightless debit card.

I ask can't you expedite it? They say yes for $40 you can get it in 3-5 days!!! Isn't it their responsibility since it was their cards and accounts that we comprised?!?!?? Drives me INSANE. I hope every scammer burns in hell for eternity....

Sorry DT. The same thing happened with one of my cards a couple weeks ago. Some asswipe got my card number and tried to charge museum tickets in Florence, Italy ffs.

It took a full 10 days and maybe more to get the replacement card delivered.

Something similar happened to me. The card was compromised, they turn it off and send me another one. Almost two weeks later they send me another with a phone number to call to activate. Nothing more. I call it activates, but it won't let me assign a PIN. This goes on for two days before I finally get a live human, who is stumped. They ask me to call back. I asked one simple question....what number do I call back? This one. I was like, wait, you can't help me, but you want me to call this number again for help? Yep, they did.

I call that number, finally get another human who tells me since the primary on our bank account is my wife (we switched to her bank in 1996 when we moved in together), I have to input HER information. The card is in my name and was mailed to me, but I was supposed to know that the system needed her information in order to not activate the card....but assign a PIN.

I think about three times a year I tell my wife we are switching banks. It was fantastic when it was Wenatchee Valley Federal Credit Union. But now that it is some corporation? It's dogshit. And the only reason we switched to her bank instead of Key Bank, which I used? Is because my wife knew there were two tellers there that would flirt with me! LOL

How did you know Kurt Kitayama is my fav golfer of all time. I have a poster of him on my bedroom ceiling! Sounds good Mike!

It's started. All my golfers are hole-in-oneing so I win. Good night.

Matthew Baldwin is out on the course. Level par after 4. Just birdied the 5th. Come on Lad.....

I am the early leader after Bob McIntyre birdies the first two. That won't last and I know it.

A very close contest at this stage after R1


Jackson Suber (full name John Weatherington Suber III ) leads after round 1 on -5 An Ole Miss Rebel, you lot would know what that means - I'm googling it.

"This is my fifth day here. Monday was my first round of links golf, so I've played 27 holes before I played the first round today. I've never been to Europe."

Matthew Baldwin who has played Birkdale around 1,000 times according to all estimates was +2.

Golf? Bloody hell.

Jeezus! I see I have assumed the Omega Position right out of the gate at The Open.

"Thank you, sir. May I have another?"

Think I'll go have a nice glass of Jonestown Kool-Aid...

I suck so badly in contests.
