Well... That is kind of the point of professional golf.

I decided to flush $20 down the toilet in the DraftKings contest, so I'll probably be glued to my TV this weekend.

How's that work?

I've never done anything on draftkings before, but for this one you get a $50,000 budget to pick 6 golfers. Rory is the most expensive at $13k, Spieth is $12.6, etc

Golfers get points per hole and based on finish. And there are streak bonuses, too. Total scoring breakdown is this https://www.draftkings.com/help/pga

I play Draft Kings every week. If you ever want to play heads up or anything....let me know. A couple of my buddies and I play in a winner take all match every week amongst ourselves, as well.

I play in a lot of 50/50s and double ups. I have 3 entries in the Millionaire maker for this week.

God damnit you fucking retard, tiger has a better swing than Rory. Plain and simple. It's science. Dumb shit

No you really know nothing about golf then. Rory keeps his body more stable than Tiger, keeps the club more upright and has it inline with his forearm. Tiger was simply a bigger guy and was able to generate more power out of his shots with the wide arc he had. Tiger is 6'1" 185 lbs while Rory is 5'8" 160 lbs

What's your strategy?

I just deposited. Lost on who to draft.

Classy....how is Jim Furyk's swing?

lol just stop. Every golfer on tour has his club face inline with this forearm. Bc if you don't, you can't come back to square. Rory is a pure feel player like Phil. That's a great swing when the timing is on. It's terrible when it's not. And non one is on all the time. Rory makes mistakes that every player on tour gets into. He picks up the club on back swing. He doesn't keep his left side firm on the downswing which causes him to come inside too far and get the club stuck behind him. He drops his shoulder in the process. Tiger does all of that too from time to time. The biggest difference is Tiger had every shot in the bag. You never saw someone that could flight a ball better than him. You probably won't in your lifetime. I'm not even a tiger fan and I'll admit he was the best ball striker I had ever seen. Don't try to ever compare Rory to tiger in his prime.

Depends on what you are playing. There is different strategy for different types of tournaments.

Shows how little you know about golf then because the shaft of the club needs to be inline not the damn face lol. I'm not making much of a comparison other than saying that Rory technically is more sound than Tiger was.

Fred Couples back in the early 90's was incredible to watch strike a ball

Still is. Believe he was in contention a few years ago at the Masters. Hell Watson should have won the Open at 62 due to his terrific ball striking

Idiot... quit fucking arguing when you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Which is always so just stop fucking posting.

Your clubface is in line with your arm b/c that's ...fucking....square... dipshit. If you aren't square at parallel, you wont be square at impact without a ton of forearm rotation compensation.

Ironman92;1735772 wrote:Fred Couples back in the early 90's was incredible to watch strike a ball

Fred couples had/has a pretty swing.. but same deal.. Freddie hits his fade 90% of the time. It's his go to shot. Golf had never seen anyone flight so many different shots on a hole like Tiger. And there wasn't one he couldn't do.

@Buccigross: Most Major Victories Age 26 Or Younger - In Masters Era (Since 1934)

Classy knows nothing. I mean literally knows nothing about sports. It's pathetic and hilarious.

These are my lineups for the Draft Kings Millionaire Maker. Only have to beat out 143k others to win it.

Rickie
Phil
Bubba
Tommy Fleetwood
Alex Noren
Andy Sullivan

Stenson
Matsuyama
Reed
Oosthuizen
Casey
Na

Spieth
Phil
Leishman
C. Hoffman
McNeill
Noren

Classy knows nothing lol he's just spewing non-sense out of his ass.

Zwick and I have had actual golf convos on here so even if he wasn't right, which he is, it's easier to side with him than someone who makes dumbass, ignorant comments on almost every thread he posts on.

There's a reason I have Classy ignored.

2 guys in the first group(s) birdied the first hole. Maybe the course will be a cakewalk :laugh:

I went Matsuyama, Keegan, Kopeka, Stenson, Poulter, Snedeker.

I didn't do Draftkings this major, though I did my typical major bet with my buddy (Choose 1 from OWGR 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 50+) where we bet 2 build your own 6 packs from this craft beer store in Tucson

His team:
Spieth
Walker
Koepka
Moore
Schwartzel

Mine:
Rory
Phil
Na
Keegan
Tiger

If your 50+ wins, you get an additional 12 beers. Let's go Tiger! lol

LHS I like your team way more than your friends lol. I didn't do draftkings for the US Open either just forgot about it.

S&L can't believe you've never played on draftkings/fan duel. Just wait until football starts thats when DK is the best.
