The first and arguably most prestigious of the years golfing majors is almost upon us and I thought it might be fun to introduce a competition I've shamelessly stolen from another forum I played it on last year!

To enter you each choose 7 golfers from next weeks Augusta field:

https://www.masters.com/en_US/players/player_list.html

Pick one from each of the following:
  • USA
  • GB&I
  • Europe
  • Africa
  • Aus/NZ
  • RoW
On Sunday evening (probably be Monday morning) I will calculate everyones score by adding up the final scores of everyones first 6 players. From your total score, you will receive the following deduction for any player who achieves:
  • Tournament Winner -20 pts
  • Runner-up down to 10th place -10pts down to -2pts respectively (includes ties)
  • Getting all your players through the Cut -10pts
  • Any Holes in one -10pts
The winner will be the person with the lowest total score after all deductions at the end of the tournament. Wildcard scores will only come into play in the event of a tie.

To enter, please post your choices in the following format:

USA - Surname, Forename
GB&I - Surname, Forename
Europe - Surname, Forename
Africa - Surname, Forename
Aus/NZ - Surname, Forename
RoW - Surname, Forename
Wildcard - Surname, Forename

Good luck and remember, the winner will hold the title of Caf Masters Champion for the whole year. I'll hold a cup for each of the majors and will actually buy a Kenwood Juicer for any poster who manages to win the Grand Slam.

I've gone with Rory as my GB&Ire pick but I reckon Paul Casey could have a big tournament. He shows up at Augusta even during the years he hasn't been playing well and this year he's bringing form in with him.
