Don't worry Rafi, I was over-par in two rounds for the U.S. Open. Adam Scott was the only guy on my team to make the cut, so you can imagine how good my weekend went. :/

I did okay, but there's plenty of golf left to be played.

I had two guys not start. Next year, we'll try to find something a little different - this best-ball thing really doesn't reward solid play, it rewards birdie binges. Nobody cares if the guy shoots 75 with 8 birdies and 10 bogeys or worse - it's all about the birdies and eagles.

I kinda like the "One and Done" concept The Golf Channel has going. Except that you only pick one guy, so if he MCs, you're out. Maybe I'll create our own tournament next year...

Yeah, I was watching the Golf Channel on Tuesday night, and they said DL3 wasn't playing this week because of nagging injuries. Didn't you read my preview Jeff? :)

As for the fantasy thing, I agree with you Erik. I don't really like the best-ball thing. It's still fun though.

Still fun, yes. Just a little too random for my taste. But fun.

All of my guys made the cut this week. They also shot -11 in the first round and only -5 in the second. Booooo!!!!

I still don't know how I ended up 6th overall in segment two. That was a little luck obviously, since I finished in the 10000th range the other two segments. It sure was a fun 2nd segment while it lasted though.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to next year's fantasy league as well. Hopefully it will be something new and fresh..

Have you been doing any fantasy golf scouting Erik?

I'm thinking of writing my own. I kinda liked the "One and Done" thing The Golf Channel did, though automating the weekly input of prize winnings doesn't seem to be something I could easily do. I may have to do that manually, so that's a big knock against that idea...

Maybe Dave knows of a database somewhere we could pull the data from. If so, that'd be easy. I'd rather not web scrape, either...

Well, we definitely need to get more of the Sand Trap staff members this year. We had a few last year, but we need to get all the guys in this time around (and Stacy if she wants to play).

As for doing your own, let me know if you need any help. I always love fantasy leagues, so I wouldn't mind helping out a little.

    • @DrizZzY does. 😄 
    • does anybody still use a 7 wood? if not what do you use instead>  
    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.  
    • So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.
    • August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
