Welcome back MGS Fans and Grinters!

We have a special contest this time tied to The Open - yes...THAT ONE!
---

Our third stop on the Virtual Tour is THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP!

This one will be a bit different. We need you all to:

  1. Comment below with a players name who you think will have the lowest round on Sunday...so, you know...they have to make the cut as well. You must post a comment with the players name by July 14th.
  2. Log a score/round in The Grint app - The event is already live in TheGrint and will be open for entries until July 17th.

Same rules apply as before - one entry, select the event BEFORE you start your round (Note: you may enter your score after you play if you don't like having your phone on course on can't get a signal)

  • US participants only - sorry INTL players!!

PRIZES

  • 1st Prize - Custom Wedge!
    • We'll make this really snazzy with an engraving of a logo very similar to the one up top highlighting your victory and clear dominance over everyone else. It will most likely be a Titleist or Callaway, so be thinking of your choice! 
    • Custom-Wedge-Wizard.jpg
  • 2nd Prize - One year TheGrint Premium Membership ($40 value)

Pity it's no international, especially those in Britain, after all it's their Open.  At least it will save them some frustration waiting to see if they've won 😉 . (just following the instructions re smack talk @GolfSpy_THV😅)

I sure hope this dosen't end the MGS Grint Contests before they get rolling.  This will certainly have a negative impact on the app 😦.

I almost feel like it's going to be someone maybe 8 strokes back heading into sunday. I'm going to say Tommy Fleetwood. He's let me down so many times this year, what's one more time?

When my wife asked if I wanted to leave Maine and move to where she grew up, I couldn't say no to Pinehurst, NC. I honestly don't spend much money on golf equipment, but I'm constantly reading reviews in case I ever get ready to buy

I swing left handed and have been the State of Maine Left Hander's champion since 1997, the last year they held the tournament. I'm currently a 7.1 handicap. Trying to get lower, but my gut gets in the way.
