peasy23 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 He's pretty much back where he was this time last year with a big couple of months ahead to try and get into that top 50.His year end position last year was 64th, so slightly up at the moment, which is decent going in a year hampered by both injury and scheduling wrecked by Covid. A very high finish this week could jump him up a few places, hopefully Masters qualification isn't far off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we'll defo have double points and bonuses for the bigger events and spread over the 2 main tours. I'm leaning towards a more fantasy football style, so folk can pick a squad at the start and not have to worry about forgetting to get picks in every week, with regular transfer windows to keep it fresh. Any and all thoughts and suggestions are welcome though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 20 million budget and the bigger boys like DJ or Rory are 8 million while Kevin Na and Raphael Jacqueline are 1 million ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, or maybe making 'pools' of players and you can only pick one from each 'pool'. Like DJ, Rory, Bryson, Rahm and Brooks in one pool. Maybe the top 5 euro tour guys in another pool and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably over 300 players between the 2 tours I do bet every week on golf, so I'm used to looking at golf data every Tuesday. Once everyone has picked then I can get them on a spreadsheet and it should just be a case of updating every week. Keeping it relatively simple for everyone will help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just a quick question here, what’s all your 5 iron distances? I tend to use my off short par 4s and biggest today was 211 yards!

Distant Doonhamer Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just a quick question here, what’s all your 5 iron distances? I tend to use my off short par 4s and biggest today was 211 yards! I have a massive gap between 9/pw of like 25yardsI have quite a few hybrids rather than irons. I hit my hybrid 5 about 175-185 yards. Your gap between 9 iron and pitching wedge is too big. Loads of different wedges out there. Might be worth getting a trackman session to see what might suit your game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested the tiger wedges but a can’t seem to find anything that closes the gap, for some reason a lose a lot of distance on my PW. I have another range session on Sunday to see what we can do, I’ve been easing of a 9 but with mixed results! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Reed is the only one who bothers coming. Morikawa is the first one that jumps out, he is 3rd in the rankings just from his points in majors and WGC events. Can't see him making the trip over. Not only has Morikawa come across he's confirmed he's taken European Tour membership out for next season so fair play to him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
