Ima put a placeholder in for Scheffler as my pick, since I'm going to be in Scotland and don't know my availability when the draft starts.  If you don't hear otherwise from me when the draft starts Monday morning, that's the pick. 

I'm thinking of doing something... maybe stupid, maybe not, and going in a different direction.  But I don't want to hold up the draft if you don't hear from me.

@edjr, do you have my cell phone to ping me for later picks?  I'm guessing you do from Venmo, but if not let me know.

does this mean youll be attending at Troon?  and if so.... any chance you could snag me a poker chip marker?

Yes on both counts.  Going with my son (he's 28). We have tickets for W practice round, and Th/F rounds.  We just got a free upgrade to a club kinda thing for Wednesday -- covered, bar and food, TVs, restrooms, on the 18th hole.  If we like it (and/or the weather looks bad for Th/F), I'll look into paying to upgrade those last two days, presuming I can.  It's only money, why not enjoy it?

Arriving in Edinburgh Saturday night, staying there until Tuesday morning.  Got my Rick Steves guide and audio tours.  Then renting a car and heading to the west coast for a tour of the Oban distillery, and check out the town/views of the Hebrides.  Then drive down to Troon.  May take a few jaunts into Glasgow for dinner during this part, which is pretty close.  Drive back to Edinburgh Saturday -- not sure what we are doing that day, other than a pub to catch some of the tourney.  I actually was just looking into going to Stirling castle and another distillery or two on the way back.  Sunday we have tickets to the Edinburgh castle.  Monday I fly back -- he is staying another week; his GF is flying out to meet him.  I'm not sure exactly his plans, but they include staying in a castle somewhere.

I wish I was staying another week, doing a 3-4 day golf package, and spending a few days in the highlands.  Maybe next year.   

I'll try to remember to look for a poker chip marker.  In fact, maybe I'll look for something small, like that, to send to whoever wins the EdEx next week.  I certainly will be swag shopping.

sounds like an awesome trip you have planned.  My mom, aunt and brother went last year but it was a full on tour trip. I declined because they did spend time in St Andrews but I felt like when I do decide to go, I want the option to stay a bit longer in that area and try to get a tee time  (I think when I looked it up it's sort of a be there early, get lucky etc). 

I used to collect golf balls as a kid. too clunky so at some point I switched to the chips. I think Fumble sent me one from Southern Hills PGA Championship 2022 and I sent him back a Shinnecock US Open from 2018

DraftKings is fluid.  If you can use them great.  If not, Vegas insider.
