Happy Meal Standings

Admin Note: The mod team is working to keep these daily threads more on topic – Golf strategy talk for this week’s contest. Post referring to last week’s contest will be moved to the correct thread. Any off topic posts or posts containing full lineups will be deleted..

there are like 7 guys above 10k and not so many obvious DJ’s or Brooks mid 8k. and under 7500 not the greatest-

certainly tighter than last week…

Lame the google doc is behind paywall, you’d think someone else would be able to get one going it’s free data they’re using.

I dont think its that tight either. They messed up by pricing some guys way up but not really touching premier ball strikers like Conners, Hovland, Niemman, Kokrak, Dahmen, Woodland, Lowry. Thats where ownership will be concentrated IMO.

Cantlay and Casey two golfers playing for the first time with good recent course history. Will be interesting to see their ownership.

This week I’m the “Beat the Forum” challenger, I’ll have 30 $1 h2h’s up later today. I chose to be the Beat the Forum guy on this particular one because this was the tournament where I took down my first GPP.

I wish the $200 SE wasn’t so top heavy but $100k to first is nice!

I decided I’m gonna try something different this week and max the birdie too. For the guys who regularly do MME, how many golfers should I have in my pool? I’d rather lean toward a smaller group and try to find the right combination of guys I like so I was thinking around 12-15. Is that reasonable?

The two tools I used to use the most – RG’s lineup builder and the Google Doc – are now behind pay firewalls. So I guess I need to compile the data myself now? It’s not that hard to pull the CH for any tournament, at least for the timeframe I look at.

I know it’s early, but here you go:

Winner – Bryson
Fade – Rory, Rahm, Koepka
Sleeper – Hubbard

Yeah someone already mentioned this. Just go to PGATour.com and go to Tourney History. You can cut and paste into an excel spreadsheet.

Follow-up to Nick Watney’s positive Covid test last week:

“The PGA Tour tested 11 people who had come into contact with Watney since his positive test — including Watney’s Thursday playing partners Luke List and Vaughn Taylor — all of whom came back negative. Garcia’s secondary test was negative, too. “

ok some perhaps a dumb question from an alright golf dfs player; when making your LUs, do you guys try to fit 6 dudes who can make the cut or just go by upside and chances they finish in the top 5-10?

Yea I tend to agree. The recent form portion is available on every players DK profile, so all these guys are doing are taking the time to post the CH, there’s no inherent value they are adding, just organizing data. I’m more of a believer in course history than most, but I’m not going to be part of someone trying to make a quick buck on something that I can quickly look up for the 5 to 8 golfers per week I would use it to make a decision on🤷🏻‍♂️.

its not a dumb question but rather an answer which only you can answer.

only you can see a particular upside……anyone who is priced low salary needs to have an upside but how far up LMAO?

If you are going to take down a gpp, you need to be a great picker, but you need to make the cut first.

Go for the upside because cut makers (YOU NEED) but top 5-10 is what you want.

So You volunteering to do this simple cut and paste???

People used this doc because it was handy…it had some good info…It was a cheat sheet for a quick look at performance. If it were so easy, we would see 100 variations. My data sheets are pretty close to be able to make a comparison to google docs but over the years format changed source data changed, I have holes for some events. Its to much work.

I am all in on Little Swoosh at the

Is that Keegan? If so I agree. He’s the first guy I plugged in.

@JStocksSmith

NOT happy with the Google Doc update. Was literally the best resource to start off the week…

Beuzenhoudt is my dude. Kinda lame he is not in the event. Wonder why? Straight fire with the approach shots and nobody ever plays him.

Wow! A 150-entry Happy Meal? Bold strategy, Cotton. Err, tim. But I LIKE IT!

Maybe discussed before and I missed it, but what does this stand for? I assume the R is “rank” or “ranking”

this is similar to google docs.
I like the salary is included
I like that the rankings are complete with all golfers not just the guys playing this week

it would take some getting use to (SG vs top 100golfers) the data baseline
No copy and paste is a bit of a bummer

Doesn’t look like he’s playing this week.
