Didn't see a golf thread on the top 2 pages. PGA season ramping up.

Brooks Koepka notched a win last week at the WM Open in Scottsdale. Tiger was dead last.

Torrey Pines this week.

Also, anybody get into fantasy golf or anything?

I know a guy who runs a fun fantasy league. It starts with the tourney at Doral next month. You pick 1 player each week and you basically get his earnings for the week. You can only pick a player once and it runs through the PGA Championship in August. Most money won wins. I can get you the details on that if anybody would like to join. Cost is $55

My dad and I run a pool for all of the Majors that is pretty fun.

I also play weekly fantasy golf on Draft Kings. If you are on there and want to play heads up or with a couple other guys, let me know and we can set it up.

3 degrees today in NW Ohio but never a bad time to think about some golf.

Marine layer of fog is awful this am. Tee times pushed back 30...wouldn't surprised at another 30 being announced soon.

Case in point, my view on 13. Can see about 50 yards in front of me, only 20 yards clearly.

(Cool story bro warning)

My junior year in high school we teed off at sectionals before 8:00 am at Portsmouth Elks.....could not see beyond the tee and the dumbasses made us play anyways. 2 of the 4 in my group never found their drives....mine "felt" good but a touch left.

A lot of two stroke penalties starting that tournament play

You ever play night golf with a glowing ball, glow stick on the flag and glow disk by the whole?

I paused the DVR to come back and watch the end of the playoff, then all of a sudden, 60 minutes and no ending.

Golf Channel.

Networks cannot go that far past their schedule per FCC.

Yeah, you are permitted to pre-empt regularly scheduled programming for live events, breaking news, etc. But for a sporting event, no more than an hour I believe. You can do more, but only a few times a year, so CBS would never waste it on a golf event this small.

Having some solid success on Draftkings since I started playing golf two weeks ago.

Had Koepka when he won and had Day and Holmes this week. Got in 8 contests with one lineup and cashed in 7 of them. I use the same lineup for all.

I had:

Day-1
Homles- T2
Steele- T45
Choi T53
Chappell- Cut
Noh- Cut

So not a great team in general but having the winner and 2nd place make up for it. That team scored 378 fantasy points.

Hell of a tournament this week. Spieth cannot win but is always top 5.

Holmes shot a 63 and has been done for 3 hours and Johnson Wagner nailed a 25 footer to tie him on 18
