[desbcoach]

Indeed and AS IT STANDS - unless a random late entry comes in this will be the allocation

Walla Walla Dawg II - Viktor Hovland
desbcoach - Bryson DeChambeau
Sibelius Hindemith - Jordan Spieth
rockycola - J.T. Poston
D-Train - Bud Cauley
mostonmike - Alex Smalley
baller - Sam Stevens
maoling - Marco Penge
Xpert DBA - Hideki Matsuyama
TLO Idaho - Alex Fitzpatrick
Bil522 - Akshay Bhatia

Because of the time zone issue I will need a standby list of reserve players in case there are any late drop-outs or even errors I've not spotted yet. You will all be in bed so I have come up with this
reserve 1 Kurt Kitayama
reserve 2 Rickie Fowler
reserve 3 Maverick McNealy

Play starts at 6:30am BST on Thursday (10:30pm PDT - Wednesday your time)

Well I don’t have a PHD and probably not as smart as DT but I was able to use my crayons and pick a name from each list and now just sit back and see if I win. Talk about so little effort on my part

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....

Gesa gets me a new card directly when Imwalk in. Of course we could forget what you said but what fun would that be

[D-train]

If that was it, I could deal with it but it seems I can't go more than a few days without dealing with complete insanity. I am supposed to be enjoying retirement but seems God fucking hates me for some reason. lol

Hey - all good.
