Draftkings golf

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

Webb, Kisner, Moore, Bezuidenhout, Norlander, Zhang

I downloaded the PGA app. Is that the same one for shot tracker?
Why oh why didn’t I draft HV3??

PGA Tour App , yes.

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

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

Had Herman in my team and still ended up in over 1300th

Tough game!

That was a great pick!
Where did the inspiration come from?

Just to clarify it wasnt from the start, I only got involved for the weekend part but of the cheaper options I thought he was the most likely to go low over the weekend he was playing well from what I had saw the previous couple of days. Wasnt expecting 61 and 63 type of low though

Link to the pat mayo listener league.

15 in, no rake, great payout structure and fills fast.

I've avoided playing that myself, its good that its rake free but I presume anyone playing it would obviously be listening to his show and be clued up to the game somewhat, so the field would be potentially a shark fest, maybe I'm overthinking it though.

Gonna give a bash at entering 20 teams in the $3 this week. No fantasy national sub yet so will have to rely on the old fashioned excel to generate teams. How many players would ye typically have in your pool for entering 20 teams? And for your main fancies how many teams would ye usually put these in?

How long is a piece of string basically, totally player dependant on what you want to do! I'd suggest less is more tbh.

I was guilty of trying to get too many players in my teams to cover all angles but it doesn't really work out. Your best bet imo as Mick already suggested would be to pick a core group of players, maybe 3 or 4 that you really fancy and work them in to most of your 20 teams, the popular players most weeks would range from 20-25%(approx) ownership, so the key thing would be to make sure you have them in more teams than their ownership, so that if they play well you have the upper hand on the field, up to yourself how agressive you wanna get, it's risk reward just like a driveable par 4! If you put a player in 60-70 or even 100% of teams and he misses the cut then that amount of teams are immediately fcked!

Personally this week I'm entering 40 teams again 20 x $4 and 20 x $2 contests, I have 32 players in total, it's hard to get too aggressive this week imo as the field is so stacked, so I have 4 core players in 35% of my teams, that's as risky as I'm prepared to go! I've a couple of low priced guys in approx 20% of teams, Most of my other players are either good players who are slightly above their ownershiip projection or else low priced guys spread around as I'm not comfortable having such donkeys in too many teams!

It would be nice to have everyone covered but unfortunately you have to fade big names as you can't get them all in! Notable absentees for me this week are.... Brooks, Simpson, Rory, Rose, Cantlay, Tiger among others!

After playing Henley pretty much every week from the restart im dropping him this week, its just his long irons arent great and he is back on a bad enough putting surface for him. Not loving it but dropped a lot of shares of him from the PGA because of that also, was high on him last week.

Im also pretty much all in on bryson this week, he just gains so much OTT and on the green, his irons from where they will be hitting on par 3s is very good (16 holes over a tournament if he makes the cut) 3 par 5s which will put him in similar ranges and a driveable par 4.

8 holes where you might consider him the best in the field.

Has yet to get hot with his irons this year since the restart at least and it should happen for an upper tier player eventually

Also number 1 in birdie or better conversion rate, now thats still a putting stat (high variance stat) but one I think helps show the psychology side of putting

Ive come back and forth on lots of guys, i'll be heavy enough on day, wolf.

Quite like Byeung An, just wish his long irons where better this season but they have been good on previous years and his putting is trending very well, also he has had an outlier number of big numbers recently if you look back through his score cards, which is something i like, 1 its not normal for any tour professional and 2 has made him look worse from a glance then i feel he's been playing.

Adam Schenk Im rounding out a few teams with, mainly based on his longer irons (when i say long irons i mean distance from green as opposed to clubs)

Also have some straka, stallings and a touch of hoge down here

Gulp!!


My core consists of Bryson, Day, Wolff and Finau! So we are both fcked!


When you say all in on Bryson, how much exactly? you going 100, how many teams ye got etc.... I've had Staka a fair bit the last few comps, missing the cut last week hurt me! So I've ditched him! I'm liking Burns and Davis from the lower range!
