peasy23 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Finau wins!!!!!He battered his drive on the first playoff hole right down the middle, then Smith carved his way right out of bounds. Par was more than good enough for the win after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Russell Knox started well outside the top 70 so would have had to have had an exceptional week at Liberty National to stay in the playoffs for another week. Martin Laird was 65th, but he missed the cut along with Knox and drops out of the top 70, so that's both their season's over.Shout out to Jordan Speith who went 41-38 to card a closing 79, 17 shots worse off than his second round 62. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Nairn Dunbar, Nairn and Boat of Garten later this week I played Nairn Dunbar last year for the firt time in ages and really enjoyed it. Nairn is sensational......a lot of changes (new greens and bunkers) and it is absolutely a top championship course in great condition - Iplayed their five day open at the end of July - unfortunately i was closed for two of the days due to flooding and lightening storms. I think Nairn is a notch up from Castle Stuart which has probably too wide fairways to be considered a great course. The Boat is a decent course....and word of warning....most holes are extremely tight.....not an easy course to score on. Decent weather so enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good course and price wise it’s really good for the standard of course you’re playing. If you played from the tips it might take a full day to finish though, something like 7800 yards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 **Fantasy Golf Week 33** At last He's finally done it !! After what seems like an eternity, the fantasy golf standings have been updated. In other news, big Tony Finau won the Northern Trust in New Jersey after Cam Smith pumped a ball so far OB, it almost crossed the Hudson River. It was no less than Smith deserved, after continuing to sport the worst hairdo/moustache combo the game has ever seen. Elsewhere, Johannes Veerman won the strangely named D+D Real Czech Masters, which implies the existence of a D+D Fake Czech Masters somewhere, presumably won by someone like Stenrik Henson. About 2/3'ds of the league have Finau, including the leader, so it's as you were. A couple also had Smith, so the gap has shortened slightly. Overall Standings 1893 @die hard doonhamer 1686 @Ro Sham Bo 1670 @Tartan Dave 1587 @peasy23 1426 @J_Stewart 1398 @lichtie23 1376 @Honest_Man#1 1366 @alta-pete 1363 @Proposition Joe 1306 @Mr Kane and the lemon cafe 1155 @Distant Doonhamer All to play for at the top of the race to whistling straits table. There's 4 weeks left, but 3 are bonus point weeks. 1251 @die hard doonhamer 1126 @Ro Sham Bo 1116 @Tartan Dave 1080 @peasy23 884 @Honest_Man#1 879 @lichtie23 799 @Proposition Joe 783 @J_Stewart 733 @Distant Doonhamer 728 @alta-pete 581 @Mr Kane and the lemon cafe First stop this week is the Swiss Alps and the Omega European Masters at the iconic Crans-Sur-Sierre. One of the most photogenic courses in the world, this 1906 design was renovated by the late Seve Ballesteros and now bears the great man's name. It now clashes with the Fed Ex Cup finals, so there are weaker fields aiming for the 'red jacket' than the illustrious list of former winners would suggest. We're down to a field of 70 for the 2nd week of the Fed Ex Cup finals, the BMW Championship. A first time on tour for Caves Valley, a 2002 Tom Fazio design which has also hosted a Senior US Open. It'll have great facilities and be in great condition, but it's not really a stand out track, situated near the City of Baltimore, home of course to TV's greatest show, The Wire. 1.5x bonus points up for grabs here motherfuckers. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 It's surely a certainty that the Barksdale crew held their annual golf outing at Caves Valley, prior to their demise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite get that - if you replaced, say a score differntial of 2 with another score differential of 2 then I can't see how your handicap went up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
