I'm signed up and ready to go under the name Czervik Construction. I'd have no problem with a small wager, but I'd agree that a decision should be made in the next week or so and we'd need to figure out a fair way to do it so that we don't have to send out Moose and Rocco to help find people's checkbooks.

By the way, when I'm atop the standings, just think of this

My gut was telling me to go with guys like Johnson, Glover, Watney, Kuchar, etc. I chickened out and went with more conservative picks (Stricker, Ogilvey, O'Hair, Casey). Oops!

Can't complain about the other guys, but Stricker was a huge disappointment.

Yea, I used Strick too, oh well. The good news is this fantasy golf thing is a marathon not a sprint. It's the longest fantasy season of any sport out there.

But I love the first event because it's a confidence building week for everyone. The field is so small it's nearly impossible to lay a complete egg. It's the upcoming events that have massive fields where it's going to to start getting tough for us. At any rate, it's cool to catch the replay right now in HD and DAMN do I want to retire to Maui!!!

We did pretty good; we only had three guys not enter teams. I think if guys are inactive too long from the group I will delete them from it.

As for this event, everyone should be relatively close by the end with no cut and a small field. In terms of the league, the real fun starts next week with the full field events.

Well I actually surprised myself with my picks, but with it being such a small field it made it much easier. When the Field becomes bigger, I dont know who Im going to pick and thats when Ill start going downhill. Stricker not doing as good hurt me, but glover and cink kept me in there.

The "Golf Ball Whacker Guys" are me. I see there is an additional Happy Gilmore reference in that list... Chubbz... nice. Whomever named their team "Get in the Hole" should be tarred and feathered... then shot in the face. It is probably the single most obnoxious phrase ever devised.

Well, after 2 days they're in first so maybe they should be killed off.

It's probably someone who isn't a member of the forum and just views it. Probably same deal with all the other people who haven't posted who they are. I've compiled a list of everyone and their team name and I can't figure out who 10 of them are(they're posted in the message box). If they don't post who they are here in the forum or on the message board in the next couple days they should just be deleted from the league or something.

I wasn't too serious, and I sure would hope it is... because if not, well he better not be standing next to me at Quail Hollow this year.

good point... anyone leading or in let's say the top 3 spots will hereby be removed at the conclusion of week 1... they may rejoin under a different name and start all over if they so choose. Obviously they had some insider knowledge which is strictly prohibited.

I think theres also a few guys at the bottom that must have not put in a starting line up. They have 0 points. How in the heck do you join a fantasy league and not put in a line up for week 1? Ive seen people do horrible and after 8 weeks not put a line up in and quit, but never on week 1. They should definitely be removed from the league.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂 
    • Well that's different.
