I cannot get my usual data on players stats and where the hell can I get eag/bir/bog/pars.

it must be a usga thing because all the sites I have used none have the info for this year or last.

Id go morning wave…east coast morning dampness bring soft greens, afternoon firmness.

Fire up the AM guys

Ive played that course a few times. The Friday mornings typically are calm, afternoons Friday bring NE cross winds that are really confusing from holes 6-13

Go AM wave

But it’s the weather. We all know, or should know, that forecasts aren’t set in stone.

It looks like there is still a marginal advantage for Friday afternoon, but less than what was anticipated.

When setting lineups based on the weather forecast 24 or 48 hours before that weather, one is simply playing the probabilities that that same weather will remain.

No one should be surprised when it changes, though some disappointment is fair if one changed ones’ lineups dramatically in anticipation.

I will keep on the lookout. If I come across anything I will ship it over to you

I think much of the weather talk is useless. Many of the guys were over compensating for the wind. The course is the problem. One mistake is an easy triple bogie. The greens don’t hold, some bunkers are killer, The rough is another Killer and many missed greens end up with chips you can’t even see the pin. To shoot par on this course you have to be razor sharp and a good amount of luck. (IE. DJ’s chip in out of the bunker).

Over 4 SG Putting PLUS he holed a bunker shot !

Am I the only one rooting for Russell Henley

He also has +3 SG: Search Party.

USGA owes that to DJ though, they have screwed with the guy too many times in the past

here is the Championship Summer data from the cvs.
sheet Week 1 is contest and sheet player1 is player stats (I had plans to enter more info).

Championship Summer

I would like to go ahead and use all of my one times on Rahm and Spieth making the cut tomorrow.

Can I use it on Scott and Phil? Lol

The only wind forecast I care about is the one where Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau make the cut

To me the key for tomorrow is, which golfers will adjust the best after playing this devil course once?

they pull it from the scorecards that the PGA tour keeps using the shot link data. You can look at them yourself if you go to the leaderboard on pgatour.com and click on a player then click full scorecard. they just have some way to pull it all and consolidate it

Awesome.

Grillo my lowest but lord know tomorrow. Can’t wait to watch

Ha, my “alternate DK” team I put on FanDuel had 16.2 points… if THAT ain’t comical….

I could not stay away from the current form of my golfers, so that’s how I picked my Single Milly team. I damned the wind. Rory F’d me around the Masters so no Rory, I just don’t like Day, and watching him and DJ at Erin last year walking around it’s easy to dismiss Day. He doesn’t want it bad. DJ is healthy and hopefully stays the course and I gave him a chance. Love Rose and RCB. Stricker just does it, old mans golf and Thurston Howell III … just nice work lately… Grillo just good form lately and he will find it tomorrow. A lot of the other guys mentioned like Fleet… just not comfortable. My .02

I have no reasonable reason to believe this, but I believe Jon Rahm will somehow, some way, make this cut.

Anyone on the Mickey DeMorat train tomorow? who? 6100 why not!

thanks

and my cellphone is an old model Samsong slide with keyboard. has access to internet but no umph to use it. I talk and text. usually all I need or want. LOL not bad for a retired Motorola Cellular employee huh.

Not bad at all. I got my first smartphone last October — hand me down iphone from family member. It’s main use is for wasting time, but sometimes I use it to tether my laptop to internet

I approve of this message

I hope your right for both our sakes. Just don’t see anyway he makes the cut unless it moves to +10 unfortunately. Maybe we get lucky. I figure almost everybody that is +8 or worse playing in the AM wave are likely out, but I hope to be wrong.

i can’t wait to see how the big name players react to bad rounds. I’m inclined to think we could see some low rounds out of a few of them on Friday.
