There was some discussion on the pga tour thread on DK over the last few weeks so I said I'd set up a thread on it. Ramblings on strategy, weekly updates or whatever!

I'd normally enter around 4 teams each week. Maybe 2 in the $20 contests and 2 in the $5/$3 contests. No real strategy per se, just go on gut feeling and would have a read of what some of the tipsters on twitter have to say (Ben coley, Niall Lyons, Steve Rawlings and a few more).

Haven't had any big wins to date, probably down a small amount since I started approx 2 years ago (my NBA returns have been even worse although for some reason I've fared better in NFL contests). Will probably pick a week where I go all out with 20+ teams, albeit too busy in work at the moment to allow the time for it this week.

I used to listen to listen to the fantasy golf mailbag but that's gone now since a few weeks ago. I know Pat Mayo has his podcast but I just can't listen to him. Any other good podcasts out there?

As an aside has anyone subscribed to Mike Millar's (smartbetgolf) new subscription service? Used to find his weekly tournament sheets very handy so I probably will stump up for it soon.

Well, are we playing this week?

I have 20 x $3 $200k contest

I have 20 x $4 $25k contest

Also just put all 40 teams into the $50k mini max, 50c per team.

Will also stick 4 or 5 teams in the $8 Euro contest

Frustratingly I only broke even for the week, there was times when I was up $4k, Saturday was a bad day, I had lots of players that finished well but my line up generator just didn't spit out the right combination at all, it was close to a good week though!

Also my best team cashed for $50 in the 200k contest but would have got $300 in the $25k contest, It was completely random which 20 teams I put in each comp! SO i lost a coin flip there!

That's a sickener.

Yup, but I suppose I neglected the fact that I had a couple of heroes also like Cam Davis making the cut after being +4 after 2 holes and Armour shooting -6 yesterday after being +3 after 18.

Hopefully it evens itself out, but the double bogeying the last to miss cuts has happened a few times lately!

I have 5 teams through with 6/6, somewhat of a sweat for the weekend....

Had 4 players miss the cut by one Stanley (DB the last), Reavie (DB the last), Moore & Lee both bogeying the last! It can be cruel, Stanley hurt me the most as I had a nice team going with him... Reed, English, Kim, Gooch, Lewis!

One decent team on the go but killed by willett missing the cut.

redzerdrog

Bit the bullet and entered 3 teams across two different contests for the weekend.

No Simpson, Reed or Casey in any of my teams.

Gona dip my toes and see how it goes

I think I need to revise my strategy for these events.
Need to bring in a few more from the mid 6k range.

Depends on the field strength, in majors, WGC's etc.. you will find decent/good players in 6m/7m range on a regular event like this week, there would be slim enough pickings tbh! When you put in 20-40 teams like I have been, then yea I can pick a few lads from that range and spread them around and hope some of them have a good event as you know you can't rely on alot of them to play well

Good start for Varner alright! I've made a decent start myself but JT Poston is currently torpedo-ing a few good teams!

Shot tracker slow as fook again for everyone else? I expected it to be back to normal this week after the USPGA.

CMcsporty

Entered the big one. After telling myself I’d only do the @nagelbagels listener league!

Webb, Kisner, Moore, Bezuidenhout, Norlander, Zhang

Just 2 entries in the $5 for me with very limited research. Need to start putting a bit more time/effort in.

Also have him in a few teams but always feel dodgy putting him in, he epitomises a hot and cold player, could be 7 over or under tomorrow!

Yea he deffo is but he does a lot of things pretty decent that you'd want on this course, he'd have to drive the ball well though for a frl bet, but ya you'd never feel safe with him until his round is over

adding in a few sprinkles of Danny Lee after looking at a few things.

Not a bad shout for a long shot FRL if people were so inclined

Well I have Kisner and Henley in a few teams so we can cheer those on in unison, Rose and Simpson we will have to go our seperate ways! Good luck!

Well good to see we are on the same page somewhat.

TBH I hate fading Webb and it could well kill me no doubt but when he is popular he tends to be very popular, a few wild high predictions for him in the things I watched, which could well drive down that ownership as well who knows.

Just got to plant your flag sometimes.

Good luck in your tournaments

Rose, Kisner, Henley are my 3 highest,

Henley is lights out with the ball striking putting is atrocious but back on his preferred putting surface, ive been playing him every week since i could since we came back, but hasn't really payed off yet.

Think ive 4 in the 25, 10 in the 5 and made a satellite team this week which is in a load of them, and the 5.

Used to do that a lot before but used put much more time into this, but seemed a good week to try a few, given I was opposing web.

Hate these weeks, where its a birdie fest as it adds more varience.

I'm not going too mad this week, so avoiding a good bit of the chalk,

I've maybe 6 to 8 teams spread, and I'm. Like 80% or so on 2.players

Pretty much faded the top of the board and don't feel. The need to essentially bet big on that as I'll be wrong a lot,

I guess I'm. Similar accept I'm using all rose, I do really like Web but the projections I heard on ownership. Where too. Much for my liking but that might actually hell his ownership also.

Potential Underachiever

Tactically, I'm trying something slightly different, normally I'm trying to cover too many big name players and spreading it out too much, it hasn't really been working, so this week I've decided to use Simpson and Reed and none of Koepka, Rose, Casey, Fleetwoood. It's risky and could easily go tits up but just trying it out, so of the 40 line ups I created 37 of them have either both Simpson and Reed or one or the other! Safe to say I could do with both of these playing well!

I'm using 32 players in total for the 40 teams which is probably still too many but I think i had 45 players for 40 last week, so it's getting tighter!

Potential Underachiever

Well, are we playing this week?

I have 20 x $3 $200k contest

I have 20 x $4 $25k contest

Also just put all 40 teams into the $50k mini max, 50c per team.

Will also stick 4 or 5 teams in the $8 Euro contest

Good luck with that, I'm not going to bother with the showdown today! I'm having a poor enough week, just gonna take my losses! Not sure if I will be able to see the conclusion tonight either, I'm in work at 5 in the morning!

P.s is that captain contest new this week? Can't say I've noticed it before tbh.

O ya they are new heard about them, bring a better dynamic to showdown now given the small field side and larger fields picking non duplicate teams was a bit of a nightmare

Jesus 5, that's harsh ya it finished closer to half 3 last night you'd be better getting up early then staying up to watch it

200k tomoro for the showdown

Going to mix in a few long hitters, with good putters (potential easy pin positions)

And always on sunday showdown you need a player in the top 2 probably need the winner tomoro given its not a birdie fest

Wont tip anyone and slightly goes against what i just said but Fleetwood loves a bounce back for 2nd and he was hitting the ball well before today.

Playing him and day in my teams with some dj, will try avoid other chalk with some bullets
