D Angelo Barksdale Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) **Fantasy Golf Week 39** Jackpot Super Sunjae's sensational Sunday 62 seals success in Sin City (haha yes). Meanwhile, as expected, a Spaniard won the Spanish Open, just not the one you expected. Rafa Cabrera Bello beat compatriot Adi Arnaus in a play off. Jon Rahm was a disappointing 17th. Overall Standings A great week for @alta-pete, who had the rather unlikely double of Cabrera Bello and Im, earning himself a bonus and a bump up the table, meanwhile @lichtie23 is slowly cutting the gap to longtime leader @die hard doonhamer 2144 @die hard doonhamer 1922 @lichtie23 1845 @Ro Sham Bo 1788 @Tartan Dave 1774 @peasy23 1693 @alta-pete 1606 @J_Stewart 1521 @Honest_Man#1 1517 @Namond Brice 1487 @Mr Kane and the lemon cafe 1281 @Distant Doonhamer What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas as the dancing girls and the blackjack tables wring another week out of the PGA tour. 16 of the 24 Ryder Cup stars tee it up at the Tom Fazio designed The Summit, less than 10 miles from The Strip for The CJ Cup, named after Pamela Anderson's character CJ Parker in hit TV series Baywatch (probably not tbh). The European Tour remains in Spain as Jon Rahm gets a 2nd chance to win on home soil at the Andulucia Masters. The venue here is Real Valderrama, European golfing royalty. Designed by Robert Trent Jones it's a tremendously tough tree lined technical track (alliteration baby). Known as the 'Augusta of Europe', host of the 1997 Ryder Cup and synonymous with one of the true icons of the game. * With the HSBC WGC in China cancelled for the 2nd year running, we're a bonus point event short. Seeing as this week is a high class small field invitational on the PGA, and one of the flagship events on the Euro Tour, both events this week are a x1.5 bonus, with one remaining after this, the DP World Tour Final on the last week.

Tartan Dave Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I have a feeling I posted this last year but I had a look through my history and couldn’t see it anywhere. Does anyone use a putting matt in the house? Are any of them decent? I need to practice putting but can’t get to the course too often. Any advice appreciated. Seems to be very mixed reviews for almost all the matt’s on amazon Edited October 13, 2021 by Tartan Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sorry to hear of Renton Laidlaw's passing, he was the voice of the European Tour highlights pre Sky days when they would be on at stupid o'clock. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree that he was much better to that old bore Alliss....I genuinely hated his commentaries.."I received a letter from Rht Hon Colonel Pumhrey-Smythe who is a member of Greater Tossington golf course in Surrey....." Must be tough at Valderama today - Rham shot a 7 over 78. A good few Scots in the field including Bob who is currently level but only after 3 holes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be tough at Valderama today - Rham shot a 7 over 78. A good few Scots in the field including Bob who is currently level but only after 3 holesAs I posted last week, Rahm was looking a bit tired. Definitely tougher though as there are only 11 players currently under par, including Bob now at 1 under.Loving the story about Renton Laidlaw being asked to phone up with a live report from the Italian Open. "Here I am reporting from Rimini..", while a voice in the background can be heard announcing that the train for Wemyss Bay will depart from platform 11. He was in a payphone in Glasgow Central. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Back to back bogeys for Bob to go to +2 thru 14, will be a good day's work if he can par his way in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Bob takes on the par 5 17th, 247 to the pin from the semi rough, over water with mud on the ball. Scrapes over on to the green but leaves himself about a 90ft eagle putt, which he left about 30ft short. Birdie attempt finished 10mm behind the hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I've been watching this women's golf for about 20 or 30 minutes and I've no idea what is going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Only 10 players under par at Valderramma and 7 of them are only on -1. If scoring is similar tomorrow the cut could be at +4 or +5. I wonder when Rahm last hit a round without a birdie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Robert Streb was 7 under thru his first 6 holes at the CJ Cup in Vegas, probably a little disappointed to only hit an 11 under 61 after that start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rory says these courses in US are much tougher than on the European Tour. [emoji23][emoji15] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Projected cut at Valderramma is currently +5, with 6 Scots currently inside it. Marc Warren just doubled a par 3 to go to +6, but I can see the cut moving that way too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Laurie Canter seems to be playing a different course from everyone else at the moment, he's seven under thru 14 holes to tie for the lead on -4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Cut stayed at +5, meaning Syme, Law and Ramsay all missed out by a shot. Leaders are on -4.Jamieson is on -2, hit the pin on his 17th hole leaving a tap in birdie, but dropped one on his last hole. Grant Forrest on +3 and MacIntyre and Drysdale on +5 the only Scots that made it in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I've long held the opinion that golf is the most stupid and frustrating game ever conceived.Today confirmed that when I hit my lowest score of the year, the week after we stopped playing competitions. 39 out, 43 back for an 82. Off the yellow tees admittedly but still well pleased with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
