Day one scores haven't been entered for the John Deere....


I think I'm in 14th place out of a group of 37 folks.

3,798 points so far.

Call me a sucker, but I'm rolling all week with David Duval.

I finished the 'Winter' session in first place; 2nd place in 'Spring' session and first thus far in 'Summer' session. I am also in first place overall with 3637 total points with 9 weekly wins and 21 weekly Top 3's out of 26 weeks. I have been going against the expert picks from 'Preview' a lot this year and just going with my gut. I did pick Lucas Glover for the US Open, but that's been one of my few good 'gut feeling' picks of the year.

At least I didn't pick David Duval this week (although I did think about it)

This year I finished 3rd in the Winter session, won the Spring session, and am in first place in the summer session and the overall standings.

For the entire Yahoo pool, I am ranked 58th overall for the summer and 109th overall for the full season. I'm not that far back in terms of total points for either the summer or full season, so I am hoping good showings over the last three weeks can put me up higher.

I won the Sand Trap League last year (it was done through PGA.COM last year) and finished 24th overall for the whole pool, so looks like I may be able to repeat in the Sand Trap league

Tell us your secrets.

I'm currently mired in 10th overall for the group, 8th for the summer ... near the bottom of those who haven't stopped playing at some point. Weak showing this year (as always).

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...


Tell us your secrets.

No real secrets. I just follow the tournaments from week to week and see who is playing well, and then do minimal research on how guys have done at the course in previous years. To be honest, I just go with my gut at times. An example was the British Open; I had a feeling that Tiger wasn't going to do well, so I left him off my roster and he missed the cut, allowing me to use him another week. If nothing else, a lot of it is just luck.

This was a good week for me. In overall standings in the Yahoo pool, I moved up to T13 in the summer rankings in 47th in the season long standings. I'm only 35 points back in the summer rankings, so might have a chance, but in the overall rankings, I'm 108 points back, so too much to make up with only two weeks left.

I think I have the Sandtrap league wrapped up; with 2 weeks left I have 180 point lead in the summer season and a 297 point lead in the season long standings.

Congrats on the win, dude. What did for finished in the overall rankings for the summer and for the full season?

I just looked at my finish for the season....not so great:

I tanked it in the last two weeks; I ended up 107th overall for the entire fantasy group, and overall finished 120th overall in the summer session.

This is a repeat for me in the Sandtrap league, so I will be feeling the pressure of trying the 3-peat next year
