For example - why dont you pick 10 players for the US event and see how they compare to my 10 for europe

My European selections being

JM Singh, Dredge, Schwartzel, P Hanson, Dougherty, A Hansen, F Molinari, S Hansen, McLardy, P Lawrie.

Total cost of the 10 being less than £9 mill. Agreed that you cant play them all but you score as many points this week for there performance as you will for the US stars.

CHALLENGE ON - ANY TAKERS!!!!

No Backstrom or Brier in there then, Paddy :lol:

Just about to start this thread toffee! I think we have our lowest round of the day!

For some crazy reason I have Duffy Waldof in my team this week :oops:

. See he's -2 after the first hole

The Ledge · **Posted:** 03 May 2007, 13:15

Right, after scored a less than impressive cumulative score of -4 over the last coyuple of weeks the time has come for this troop of players to revive my season:-

Furyk
Appleby
Baddeley
Jacquelin
McLardy
Leaney

Game on!

God, I'm going to be depressed on Monday :roll:

-4 thru 6.

My first ray of light on an otherwise cloudy season

Doogal · **Posted:** 03 May 2007, 14:12

At the last minute I 'benched' Allenby and promoted Wetterich to my OFL playing 6

Allenby of course is doing fine, while Wetterich seems to be falling apart - three penalty shots already. I reckon my benched players are going to outscore my chosen ones this year. :evil:

Jonathan · **Posted:** 03 May 2007, 22:29

Eearly days yet Doogal

Fairly pleased so far. Singh, Ames, J Kelly, Woods, Cink, Allenby, Schwarzel all doing well for me (not in same team though!) I transferred out Immelman for Weterich, though :roll:

Play suspended in Italy. Probably the rain, as Tricky posted earlier.

Jonathan · **Posted:** 04 May 2007, 10:11

Blimey, the weather over in Europe is a pig at the moment! It had better clear up by the end of this month when I am Cruising and Staying in Majorca and the Med! 8-)

Watching the Wachovia yesterday the weather was having a part to play with the late starters, a swirling wind picked up through the day only VJ was able to get close to the leader. The scoring in the morning was a lot lower than the afternoon if the same happens today you have V.J, P.M, T.W & E.E all out early.

Second round in the Telecom Italia Open suspended at 8.20am local time due to a waterlogged course. There will be NO PLAY before 5pm. A further announcement will be made at 4.00pm

Spencer4 · **Posted:** 04 May 2007, 15:11

Woods flying, -3 for the day after 8.

Jonathan · **Posted:** 04 May 2007, 15:26

Yeah... and blummin' Stephen Ames is going in the opposite direction +4 after six

Jonathan · **Posted:** 04 May 2007, 15:47

Vijay is having an interesting round...

par, birdie, bogie, bogie, birdie, birdie, bogey, bogey!

Spencer4 · **Posted:** 04 May 2007, 15:51

Noticed that!

You can watch the 17th being played through pgatour.com. It's the only pga tour I'm going to be watching this year.

Italy update

The holes played this morning have been declared null and void. The 2nd round will commence at 5.15pm local time with Preferred Lies.

zipnolan · **Posted:** 04 May 2007, 21:46

A John Daly special today +15 for the round

And as for my biggest scorer from last week.... Verplunk.

Lister · **Posted:** 06 May 2007, 10:26

The last 3 holes at Quail Hollow Club are causing so many problems they call them the judge, the jury and the verdict the amount of shots the leaders droped on them yesterday was unreal. It should be a great finish tonight. I am suprised this is not a double point tournament in Fantasy League with the class of this field.

Not sure how, but putting this in the address bar and clicking Go brings up the Wachovia coverage in Windows Media Player

Just in time for the last 3 holes. :roll:

Mr Green · **Posted:** 06 May 2007, 22:12

Lister - It's very difficult to predict the quality of fields in advance of the start of the FL Golf season. For example, in the same way that the Wachovia field has much improved over the past couple of years, the field for the Byron Nelson has got worse.

For partly this reason, we decided to reduce the number of non-WGC double-weighted tournament to just four this year (two on both tours):

Players Championship
BMW Championship
Tour Championship
Volvo Masters

Cheers for the super-quick update this week, Mr Green, top service yet again

Mr Green · **Posted:** 07 May 2007, 00:16

Toffeelover - Obviously the slightly earlier-than-usual finish helped (usually I'd be in bed by the time the US Tour event reaches a conclusion!) but I must admit the carrot of not having to get into the office ultra-early tomorrow (being a Bank Holiday) was enough incentive to get things done and dusted tonight.

Congrats on moving up into fourth position overall!

...meaning you do have to go in eventually :shock:

Cheers!

Having a good run with a few of my teams at the moment - have got one that was 1,277th after the Masters up to 62nd place now

Jonathan · **Posted:** 07 May 2007, 12:29

Appreciate the Bank Holiday update Mr Green - I confess I wasn't expecting it! Slowly creeping up. Managed to pick the winner 2 weeks on the trot now - unfortunately struggling with the other places!

Mind you, 4th in the Head 2 Head this week... which is nice!

I was very disappointed with my start, but I am enjoying trying to claw my way back up there.

Edit: And seconded in relation to your current success toffee - and of course the other FISOers who are right up there at the business end.
