Season Finished; Taking a Break Until the Start of 2012 Season

As I normally do, I am taking a break this time of the year until the next season starts on the USA PGA Tour. Thanks for all of your support.

In the meantime, if you want to run your own Golf CLi you can do so for any of the tournaments on the major tours by setting up an account on golfcli.com.  There are some good tournaments taking place this month and next month on the European, Japan, Asian, AsiaOne, and South African tours, along with the Q-schools.

Wishing everyone happy holidays, where ever you are located.  See you in the new year.

Summing Up The Year

This is a post to sum up the results for the year between the Tour Outsider (me) and the Tour Insider (Rob Bolton -- for a 2nd year).

For a second year in a row, I have lost to the Rob Bolton, who has graciously and unknowingly played the Tour Insider role in my competition between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider.

Prior to having Bolton as the Tour Insider, I had not lost to the Tour Insider (the first 3 years of the competition).  However, last year I lost to Bolton -- 19-21-4 (TO, TI, Draws).  That was a close race.  However, this year, I lost in a big fashion to Bolton -- 12-30-3 (TO, TI, Draws).  I am going to need to ante up my game next year so I don't have a third straight losing season.

Now in analyzing the results this year, I have put together a summary of some of the results.  When looking at our combined picks, we did rather well (so if you use both of our picks, things turn out well).

In the 45 tournaments that we made picks, we had some winners, along with a good number of top 5s, top 10s, and top 25s.

Below is a summary of the aggregate figures for the season.

When looking at the results, it doesn't look like I lost as bad as I did.  It probably means that I was close on many of the tournaments, and when I had my good picks, he also picked those players as well.

Here's to next year!!!
