2017 Fantasy Golf Season

[Homebrewer]

Rare rule this weekend..MDF..made cut did not finish. It happens when there are more than usual in the field and there is a second cut after the 3rd round. Kokrak was hit with it, and so was I.

DJ injured his back in a fall at his rental home in augusta, and his ability to play is up in the air right now. think i'm going to do the prudent thing and replace him on my roster, but man, i sure was liking his chances for a green jacket this week.

That opens things up a bit...I didn't like him this week anyhow, #1s have a pretty bad record at the masters over the past 2 decades.. but that gives some of my boys a better chance.

Someone want to explain the scoring system to me? I had guys that finished third (-1) and yet they only received 8 points. How does that make sense?

I think what I read was that they take the low score of the day, and that's 20 points. For each stroke over that score they deduct 2 so if the low score was -7...and your guy was -1 that's 6 points X2 would be 12...which gave you 8 points. 

Standings mean nothing...it's all dependent on the low scoring round.

[Homebrewer]

I had an all star cast today, and the best score for the lot was even par (Rory) All the rest were over par.

[Homebrewer]

Happy Moving Day At The Masters!

Anyone that made the cut this year has a chance...and guys at +2 +3 are right in the mix...

I went from 10 points on Thurs to 40 points yesterday. Looking solid for the weekend with Rory, Matsuyama, Spieth and Rahm. Gonna be a fun two days. 

[Homebrewer]

Great conditions at Augusta today...but some really tough pin placements are going to make up for the lack of wind. Watching the early groups and it looks like the course is going to play really tough. Anything under par is going to be a great round. 

[tomsred]

Hey boys, this one shaping up to be a really good finish.  Lots of interesting players still in the mix, and the course should be beautiful tomorrow.  Great TV.

[Homebrewer]

That is some leader board...lots of great players within 5-6 strokes of the lead playing against the great Bobby Jones and his living legend Augusta National.

I don't know if she (Augusta) has been any more spectacular than she was yesterday, and she should be even better today, 

[Homebrewer]

I'll be rooting for the Americans, even if they aren't on my squad. I'd love to see Rickey win it..but if he can't I think Jordan might be setting himself up for a big round with some great approach shots, and I've got Spieth on my team.

[Homebrewer]

Unless he falls victim to nerves it looks like the guy from Newport Beach is going to win low amateur..

The first mid-amateur (25 or over) to ever make the cut.  

[Tank]

rooting for spieth, rose, and rahm to get into a birdie contest.

greedy bastard

[Homebrewer]

The guy that screwed me this week is Matsuyama. All year actually. I've started him 4 times this year and he's earned me about 4 points total. Ill get sick of him and the hype, give him the finger, and he'll win 4 straight tournaments.

You watch.

[Homebrewer]

Nobody playing particularly well today. They all seem to be leaving it open for Sergio.

Matsuyama has the low round of the day so far -5. Maybe it's just a pressure thing with him in big events.

[Homebrewer]

wow

[Tank]

Good points week for me after getting totally hosed last week.

Except almost everyone lost all of last weeks points because of the stupid mulligan scoring system that our commish insists on having.

[tomsred]

Congrats Tank!  You found a nice combination to guide you to victory.  I had Garcia all the way through, but Spieth and Fowler let me down big time today.

I laughed at you guys when I looked at your picks for the weekend and saw you had Sergio.

[tomsred]

We had the "New" Sergio, not the old one.  Even that almost wasn't enough.  Sergio's putting still scares me to death.  I still don't know how he won leaving so many first putts short.

That seemed to be the theme on Sunday. NOBODY putted really well. Those greens were as scary as I've ever seen them.

I doubt I would have been able to hold a putter that day, much less put a good stroke on a golf ball.

Well you or I playing the Masters won't be something that we will ever have to contend with, LOL.  Yeah, that's about as fast as I have ever seen them, the wind on the first two days really dried them out.  It was fun TV.  It was kind of interesting that when it was concluding the Angels were rallying for a seven run ninth inning win.  I'm glad I had MLB TV so I could replay the baseball later, nothing was going to drag me away from the Masters.
