Congrats Roger on winning what can only be described as one of the \"majors.\" In addition to the cash, I hope you were signed up for the Tour and pocketed the 3,500 tour points you earned.

Given that the nhc contest schedule for July is a tad on the light side, perhaps you\'ll decide to invest some of your winnings in the big cash contest which takes place July 24-26 at the Gold Coast, which will give me the opportunity to buy you a drink and congratulate you in person. While the fact that someone used Tg to win a contest may very well be ho hum at this point, your winning this particular contest is anything but.

P.S. I haven\'t been able to find a link to the complete results, so if anyone can provide one I\'d appreciate it.

Sure.. now you tell us! So typical. I\'m a high roller, and I want to know why  Roger\'s plays weren\'t made public here Friday?









; )

(Congratulations Roger!)

Mel-- I\'m having a hard time finding info on the Gold Coast contest. Do you have a link?

That\'s probably because they don\'t have one. You can get contest information and register by either calling 1-888-566-7223 or sending an email to contest@coastcasinos.net.

Assuming my memory is accurate and the format is the same as last year, it\'s 15 optional and no mandatory plays each of three days, the top spot is worth about $80k, there\'s approx $20k total in day money, they pay down to 50th, and everyone who gets a check also gets an entry into the WS. The cost of each entry is $400, and unlike most contests, you can buy as many as you want.
