The Masters

As soon as March Madness ended and Doug was declared the family pool winner, I sent out a text for entries into our Masters Pool.  Cameron picked first going with a fan favorite - Rory McIlroy.  Doug went next and that was where I made a mistake.  I should have had him pick last since he had just won a pool, but I didn't think about it.  I also didn't realize that Scottie Scheffler was the hottest golfer in the world and the hands on favorite to win this weekend.

Long story short, Doug won another pool this year.  The tournament was a little more exciting than I thought it would be, especially when we found out that Scheffler might have to forego the final round as his wife was expecting their first child any day.  Nick also had a chance to win as his pick, Morikawa, was in contention until the final nine holes. Even so, the Masters was no where near as exciting as the NCAA tournament and Doug quietly appreciated his win once again.  

Since I was feeling bad that everyone had gotten into a pool without having a chance of winning, I thought about giving everyone back their entry fee.  Before the weekend was over, however, Doug let me know that all of the outlets in the kitchen near the air fryer had stopped working.  I tried to reset them, but couldn't.  Thus, I decided that the best use of Doug's winnings was to put it towards the electrician's bill.  He was ok with that and I figured that everyone else would be too.  I also made a rule that Doug would have to pick last in the family pools for the rest of the year.
