Same thing happened to me last year lol. I totally forgot about the draft (heck, I forgot I signed up lol), but got the week 1 alert and decided to work on my weekly lineups, and nearly won it.

What's in my Tartan Precise TS-869 Bag:
Woods: Northwestern 1W, 3W, stock grip
Hybrids: 855 Graphite shaft 3H, 4H, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Irons: 855 R flex steel shaft 5-PW, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Wedges: PureSpin Tour Series Diamond Face 52* AW, 56* SW, 60* LW, Golf Pride...

Sept. 3 should be fine with me.

My fantasy baseball team was autodrafted (I was out of the country). I have a 14.5 point lead over second place, as we speak, with some strategic managing.

But Sep. 3rd should be fine.

Driver: Nike Dymo2 SQ
3 and 5 Wood: Nike Dymo2 SQ
Irons: Adams Idea Tech OS Hybrid Irons (5-PW)
Wedges: Maxfli 56* and 60*
Putter: Odyssey White Ice #1 in Copper

I did. Based on the end of the previous season and a weak receiving core.

Sept 3rd? That is a Friday night!

Sorry for being so slow to sign up, I'm in guys. Just one more player now.

Ha ha, I'm closing on a house on Sep. 3. If that works for everyone I can just set it to auto draft but another date would be better for me for sure.

Right now return yards are set to 10 yards per point. Can we adjust that? Most leagues I've played in make it around 25/point.

Also I would bump the value of a safety up a point or two, they're more valuable than a blocked kick or fumble recovery since they score points and create a possession.

In the blue Colts bag:

Driver - FT-5 10°
Hybrids - 4DX 15.5°, 20°
Irons/Wedges - CI-7 4-GW, SW | "Free" Warrior 60° LWPutter - TiffanyBalls - various

Are you guys playing for free or what? Too much trouble if there is nothing to win...

I only play in pay leagues with people I know in real life.

Maybe iacas would give the winner a free sleeve of balls or a towel or something.

That's kind of my point. That's why I was asking. Thanks

Well, I got talked into joining a league because they needed an extra man. This is my first time ever doing it so I have a question....what is the best order to pick? I am thinking:

1)QB
2)RB
3)Defense
4)WR
5)K
6)TE


Am I close??

Close, but not exactly. I always try to take a one RB and one WR early, then take a QB 3rd (but don't think you have to spring for one of the huge names. There isn't a huge dispersion among QBs). Then fill out your RB, WR, and TE positions. Get a defense second to last and a kicker last. After those you can flesh out your bench. But it really all depends on what other people are taking. If people start taking a lot of RBs, you might need to put off the QB and extra round. Also if people start taking TEs, there are't a lot of high end TE's so I try to be one of the first people to take a TE. And if no one is taking defense or kickers, hold off a while and strengthen your bench.

Sorry if that doesn't make a lot of sense. It's tough to explain but I would generally advise you to go with the flow. Take the best player on the board for the positions you need.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I understand. I think I have a good plan laid out. I will let you know how it turns out. Our draft is tomorrow morning.

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels. 
    • Day 315 - 2025-08-12 Got a little work in before Juniors showed up for one of their Summer Sessions.
    • I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
    • Do need a special ferrul. Thanx 😉
