It really depends on the weather whether or not Furyk will end up at -11 or better. Last year, the weather got nasty and the scores went south really fast. I'm not sure what the forecast is looking like for this year, but -11 could definitely end up winning or finishing in the top five.

That being said, I doubt it. Someone is going to end up around -15 in my opinion. There are some big names at the top of the leaderboard so far, and I hope it stays that way. Last week, the big names fell off on the weekend.

Also, I'm sure glad I picked Stephen Ames in fantasy this week. He is coming through for me in a big way.

The disappointments so far are Scott Verplank (picked him as well), David Toms, and Geoff Ogilvy. :/


However, sungho_kr, UCLA won last night. Just thought I would point that out.

I'm a little upset with Tim Clark's performance. Hopefully something positive will happen from now and the Masters. I'm keeping the faith.

Yeah, add Luke Donald to that list of disappointments. He didn't perform after his "aiming for #1" comments earlier this week. I was hoping he would play well, but that didn't happen.

Davis is out, I meant Jimenez is solid on Euro Tour but no where close to PGA tour. Jim Furyk is -8. I think -11 is possible if winds get a little stronger. Short hitters galore. Vijay Singh proved that he is the best ball striker with today's performance(you have to watch the clips, amazing,Personally I like TW, but VIJAY is good argument) -15 sounds accurate if conditions are like today(friday). My leader board is looking close to perfect at this moment. I don't want to brag but I feel good with my predictions. Retief, KJCHOI, Jim, Furyk, Oberholser, Singh, Woods, Faxon, Funk, are looking really good. I think the courses is not going to be crazy but the top players cant put it together, everyone is playing like B- level. Oh well, hey Iaca. Sorry, but III is a figure of imagination, jk. And, no offense, but yes I expect Furyk to do about that good. It really is a good score.

I think Toms and Ogilvy are the hottest on tour right now. It seems like Sawgrass is a long hitters course, but Funk won last year, so Toms and Ogilvy have as good a shot as Tiger or Vijay.

OUCH! Toms +6 MC Ogilvy +11 MC

Brutal first 2 days for the sleeper picks on this board. Most of them missed the cut! For the record, I ended up using Verplank and Vijay in a year long pool where you can only use a golfer once. GO VIJAY!

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
