In each of these contests, we try to make the rules simple and clear.   We don't make it complicated,, and we have these rules in place first and foremost to hopefully reward regular members of the forum and not someone random bot or contest entry experts who seem to find ways in to game the system.   

That's the reason we have the requirement that you must be a registered member and your contest entry name must match your forum name.  As discussed above there were entries that finished higher than these Daniel and Javs,. However those entries didn't follow the rules that were laid out.  

Some may think we are being nit picky on the exact matching name part.  But it's there to protect The Field.  If we make allowances once for one typo, then do we do it again the next time for two typos and  so forth.   

All that said,  Thanks to everyone for participating and huge thanks to Titleist for the awesome prizes.   We hope to be back with another great contest in June for the US Open.

Totally agree with all of this and shoutout to @Javs and @Daniel Carrier! Also, Javs is on a heater these days....

Great contest!  It appears as my ID was involved in controversy.  I just logged in, after work to add a post respectfully requesting to DQ myself, as I did not follow the rules.  Congratulations to the winners.

Thanks for your message, and thanks for being a standup member!  I think we all know it was a mistype.  Goodness knows, I've had my big thumbs get in the way before, as well that cost me.   But as a group all moderators were in agreement we needed to stick to the following the established rules to a T. 

We're lucky Titleist has been generous with it's prizes the past few years for these contests, and we know how valued they are by all the members.  But due to the high number entries, over 900 for the Masters I believe and 600 for this one, we must come up with a system that makes it fair to the membership and at the same doesn't take hours of our time to sort through. 

More chances to come!

Thank you Sir! Especially thank you to all the hard working directors of this site!! They offer us great opportunities!! To think I had just purchased the PXG Gen 5’s last fall. Then this spring I’m on a lucky streak! These new irons sure elevated my game!

You are a standup and honorable man. You define why I love this sport! Golf is the only game where you call a penalty on yourself! Thank you!

Wonderful contest! I hope that sunday the stress was as high at your place that at mine. Following that great fourth round was pure excitment.

Congrats to @Javs! Enormous thanks to all the people of MGS and especially @Golfspy_CG2 for making all of this happen. Of course, thanks to the people of  for offering such great prizes! My forum signature has been edited for my driver  "Radspeed to be soon replace by a TSR".

Stand up action;   I know it is tough to be the center of something like this and I wish you luck and hope you win the next contest.

Don't feel too bad,

I have a good friend who is a member, but didn't' make it past the entry link to read the rest of the instructions.  He just clicked and entered under a different name and when I told him his entry was going to be DQ he called me names and said it was a stupid rule.   But I explained why above.

Hopefully next contest, you'll have time to read it all the way through.
