I thought it might be fun to have a little prize for the winner at the end of the season.  That will keep me more plugged in too.  I'll buy the winner a dozen snells then if I win, doubtful, but I

Good to know @CarlSpackler , we should also see if we can get Putin and Trump to get in on the action perhaps he can make our League great again.

Guesses have been made - at least this is a no cut event, so I won't lose 1/2 my team after Friday

Buena suerte a todos

They talked about it all Sunday at the Honda, and it has been on the news since then.

Me, too.  I wonder . .does a guy like Henrik Stenson even stop to consider the impact he's going to have on fantasy golf scores with a last minute WD?  I mean . .really . .how hard is it?  If you're going to WD . .do it before the friggin' deadline.  I'm going to sell all my Henrik Stenson memorabilia. 

edit . .I was just about to drag our Ikea sofa out to the yard and burn it but .. you know.  .the wife.

I had a 58 point day with DJ, Rosie, Speith and Garcia. I have Kuch and Rahm on the bench. Not too shabby for a former greenskeeper about to become the TST Fantasy Golf champion.

My strategy is paying off. I figured with huge distance bump from altitude, why load up on big hitters. Rory, FIGJAM, JB Holmes delivered big time for me! Bubba shit the bed, but plenty of golf left to play.

Ditto...and the worst kind of WD...at least he could have done it before the round so he didn't burn a fantasy start! Very selfish on his part......

I originally had JB on the team and switched at the last minute. I hope I don't regret that.

My MO has been this:

  1. Post my start list and bench.
  2. Bench does better than starters in round 1
  3. Switch bench with starters for round 2.
  4. New bench does better than starters in round 2
  5. Switch bench with starters for round 3

This is why I don't gamble.

Stop skating to where the puck was.  That's your problem :-P

 

Okay, I just had my best week of fantasy golf, possibly ever.  Certainly since the format stopped being best ball.  

I kept all four players for the first time every round on purpose.  I thought about switching some out, but didn't.  Don't confuse this with tournaments where I keep all four every round but it isn't on purpose.

And all four contributed a 20 at some point.

Phil Mickelson and Jon Rahm in round one, Jordan Spieth in round three, Dustin Johnson by the result.  And I had Snedeker on the bench, who I think was worth 20 today.

239 points for the tournament.  That's easily my best result in a very long time.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

But I had to stop playing hockey in 5th grade because I had bad knees!:-P

I did pretty well regardless, 203 points. I had DJ and Rahm as well as Kutch and Spieth.

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
