Wow, Bubba Watson at +9.

I'm not surprised. I was picking a 4 man best ball team for my ESPN challenge entry. I cautioned my Uber group to ignore "power rankings". Bubba was listed as number 1.

While we're on the subject: What in the hell do 'power rankings' have to do with an individual sport? Bubba pretty much stinks as fantasy player. Look up his 2006 stats. He missed 50% of the cuts. Even worse, he misses the cut almost exactly every other week. I would have been surprised if Matt Kuchar put up that number.

Best, Mike Elzey

Hey you leave my boy Kuchar out of this. He was top 10 in scrambling last year ;) In all sincerity I have followed him a bit off and on since he faired well as an amature at the US Open I believe.

That was a Kuchar compliment. He's not flashy but he is steady.

I was just messing around with you. You got that right steady not flashy. I think the league average is 271 in driving distance and I wouldn't be suprised to see him lower than that. He has no distance at all.

Maybe I didn't notice that winking emoticon.

I root for the guy. I first noticed him at the Masters. Since you said Open, I looked it up. He was low amateur in both in '98. Gotta root for that.

You're right about Bubba. However, last year it seemed he either missed the cut or had a high finish. As usual, it's all or nothing with him. I can't stand him in fantasy golf either but generally, in a tournament like this, I think he's a good best ball guy because he'll make his fair share of birdies and maybe even some eagles. But yeah, he's got to make the cut and clearly I was wrong about him this week. For what it's worth I took Kuchar, Gay, Ogilvie and Marino in my yahoo league this week.

I agree thats what turned me onto to him. I believe he was a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket. I think his distance will keep him from being a top notch guy, but he has some nice ball striking at times and really has a nice short game.

Apparently you can shoot 64 without hitting it long.

Congratulations to Brian Gay on an excellent victory - ok, so it wasn't the strongest field assembled but he still had to beat the guys out there! I am sure this will do his confidence a world of good and will hope to continue this rich vein of form in subsequent events!

HI

no im not kidding Q.Q....this is the most encouraging start for JD that ive seen for som time!..he must make top 125 on the money list or else he will drop off the face of the earth

im confident that he has the ability to do this its just a question of whether he can keep his trousers on and how much he abuses himself in the next year.

Hey

Nothing wrong with being optimistic but ... this could be his year? To be honest I'm a bit discouraged with Daly's play. He's getting off to good starts then seems to crumble and get worse with each passing day. He did the same thing in the Norther Trust I think it was. Making the cut at the Majakoba Golf Classic and finishing toward the bottom isn't really a good thing. I don't think Harmon or anyone else can stop Daly from blowing up. But... if he can limit the damage a bit it would be nice to see Daly compete every once in a while.

203,000 pay day not to shabby! He gives us light hitters hope all over the world. Well he still hits it 260+ and I'm around 230

      That’s totally fair. I have my chipping issues which make my putter more playable in that situation. Really just confirming that while not optimal there comes a point where if you need to use a putter (for whatever reason) then the optimal mechanics breaks down. I know I’m a sample of one. 😂

      Well, that's not really a putt at that point. You could easily choose to putt that up the slope with a hybrid or something.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 15 (August 26).  I missed practice yesterday, but otherwise had a 14-day streak going into it.  Somehow, some of my posts for this appear in my profile but I can't seem to see them (I hope I didn't break any rules that would cause them to be removed).  I am hoping I'll be able to keep doing some practice while I'm out to regain the red text.  Context:  am on vacation, this week with friends.  What was today's actual practice? Today, a friend and I decided to go to TopGolf;  it was kind of like being at the range with someone else's clubs.  And that's ultimately how I was able to use it for practice:  I don't practice choosing a target, lining up to it, and then hitting often enough;  that's what this place seems to be about.  In any case, we were there for 90 minutes, I was hitting for maybe 35-40 minutes of that time, and I did pick a target each time.

      Day 2 - (26 Aug 25) - Church men’s golf nine hole Captains choice.  Had grandson as part of our group - was a blast watching him drill the putts.  Love these no pressure sessions - great for going outside the norm on club selection.
