TST 2017 Fantasy Golf

[Wally Fairway]

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

my team got Stenson'd again, now I'm counting only on Dufner as my remaining C player

Someone should have told him don't drink the water - maldita sea la mala suerte

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 got Stenson'd too...

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.

I'm only 120 pts. back @Toffeelover

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

 

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.

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

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

Very tight at the top, so getting a pic in quick before I get knocked off!
