Join the contest.
Lets do something a bit different and hopefully a little bit fun. I'm going to run a contest for the British golf open that starts on Thursday morning July 18th. There will be three prizes.
- 10 SBI
- 6 SBI
- 4 SBI
I wrote up a full post on it yesterday with rules and scoring.
The competition is going to be in two parts and there will be a few rules. What you need to know:
Part one will cover play for Thursday and Friday. You get to choose 3 golfers for your panel in the golf. They will earn a certain amount of points depending on their starting position and where they finish above the cut.
Part two will be a later post and will involve picking one golfer. This will be for the weekend of the golf and their points will be added to the ones from the first round.( I would advise to follow my account as if you miss the post on friday you won't get points from the weekend for your total. Deadline will be tee-off Saturday.)
Entry deadline for both parts will be first tee-off on the respective days. No later entries.
One entry fer person left in the comments of the correct posts.
Rankings will be taken from paddy power at the time I put this post up, same again for the later post.

You really just need to pick three golfers that you think will finish as high as possible before the cut and add them to the messages before the competition starts Thursday morning.
That is all you really need to know for now and I will do up a later post and a table with results along the way.
For anybody that hasn't entered yet there is still one day left and I would love to see more people take the opportunity to win some Steem basic income units.
My Picks
First of all I will have to put my own picks up for the contest. Hopefully I can top the rankings even if i can't win.
- Jon Rahm
- Jason Day
- Haotong Li
Two big names and a very good amateur that has been playing well. A big part of this will be getting an outsider in a high position. That's where the money is.
So far we have:
- Jordan Speith
- Brooks Koepka
- Tiger woods
- Louise Oothuizen
- Xander Schaffle
- Jon Rahm
- Thomas Pieters
- Rory McIllroy
- Tiger woods
- Jordan Speith
- Gary Woodland
- Erik Van Rooyan
Can you beat the experts and do better. Let me know your guesses for the first round in the comments below. The more people we can get the better. You only have until the first person tees off tomorrow to enter.
Sounds like you are calling the entrants 'experts'. I just got my trusty pin out here! :D
Your definitely one of the resident golf experts on the steem blockchain. You've seen golf, level reached.
Fair.
I have a few holes in one to my name too, albeit over pitch n putt sized holes. One of those holes you really didn't want the hole in one on too :/
My picks
Rory McIlroy
Brooks Koepka
Tiger woods
best regards
TOM

My first pick has to be Thomas Pieters. It is hard to leave out the only Belgian in the entry list.
I always like Tiger, as a golf player, not so much as a person. So he will be my second pick.
Normally my third pick would be McIlroy or Koepka, but to win, you need to pick a dark horse. For me this dark horse is Xander Schauffele.
So my picks are:
I think you will need the dark horse to win. With that said Tiger could be a tough pick the other way as he is highly rated but liable to do nothing. Should be interesting.
Thanks for running the competition: my choices: Brooks Koepka, John Rahm, Rory McIllroy cheers
