Rays can be so frustrating. You've got a guy hitting over .400 for an otherwise fairly average offense at best... and he was leading the majors in OPS but lets sit him against an average lefty because analytics. Lets lose the game 1-0. At some point you have to start your best hitters against all pitchers. Maybe sit a guy against an elite lefty

yeah, i hear you. Ideally, owning a really great actual golf course would be wonderful. I just think there is a much higher chance of losing a fortune. so from an actual business perspective, i'd have a lot more fun with an indoor sim business is all.

better off buying or renting a decent sized building and creating an indoor golf space. Trackman simulator bays or private rooms. Putting / chipping green in the middle. $80/ hour for non members, $40/ hour for members. $100 / month membership fee with 24/7 access, a few free hours per month that can roll over. BYO food and alcohol. Have mini fridges in each room or by the seating areas behind each open air bay. Same with TVs that people can tune to whatever they want to watch in the background. If you wanted to you could go liquor license and set up a bar area in the middle with a "cart girl" to go around and take orders.... BYO is simpler though, imho. Little golf shop area at the front check in desk to sell balls, tees, gloves, and other accessories... stuff golfers will impulse buy on their way out knowing they have a real round the next day. the biggest cost of the buildout will be the trackmans, computers needed to handle it, projectors and impact screens. A little more expensive to go individual rooms over open air but the one I go to by me it's just nice to have a private room and only hear your group and what game you have on.

a lot of golfers shoot higher than they say if they were really counting everything. I think its pretty common to hit a ball into the woods / fescue / marsh etc where there are no hazard markers, drop where you think it went in and give yourself a one shot penalty (or none) when in reality its 2 shots OR stroke and distance which no one does to save time. Same with out of bounds stakes. plus what you mentioned about 1 inch duffs etc.

Very disappointing. I would have loved to see Rosie win. Great guy and one of the few pros I have interacted with a few times at events. So I will be sending Dain - $200 for what Ed was supposed to send him from the Players Lager - $190 as he was paid in full for the season Fumble - $40 ($90 - what he owed for the Masters) AD - $40

I don’t really have good hitters to part with and got lucky with Alvarado winding up as the Phillies closer and Pagan in Cincy. Hopefully he keeps dealing and Alexis Diaz never gets the job back

Well edex sucked but Reed top 20 cashed. Didn’t have the balls to do it top 10. And Reed over Hatton +100 boosted to +125. Reed over Hatton was the only thing I added today. Wound up 4-4 for the tourney, up based on better odds or bigger wagers being the winning ones. For example one loss was a dollar on Conners to win at +1200 for shts

Fair enough. I always thought the only difference for the major was the the 10 spot above the 8. doesn’t matter for me I’m waiting for next year

Congrats the the winners. Congrats to bifflager (Major points might be 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 not 100% sure)

There’s not a more unlikable golfer than Rory for me right now

I will allow this for this event because of the transition, but I’d prefer not to have people withholding their entry fee for the current event to see if they win money or not

I know. Im surprised because I bet against him. Phil shat the bed at the end of his round yesterday to kill 2 of my wagers. I had him top 40 w/ties and vs Harman which I doubt he would have pulled off but the top 40 once you make the cut is fairly easy. I'm waiting for Reed to fall apart and kill my boosted top20

I was hoping Spaun of Satan could shoot something like freakin' Zach Johnson shot today and get me back in the hunt for 3rd. He started off okay but ... as per usual

I took Shane over Hideki +100 boosted to +125. Hideki should be on fire right now. Still time

Not that I was a fan but he has a great track record at Augusta and he feels like the next Gary Player in terms of being an old guy in phenomenal shape. Gary Player is 89 and looks like a spry 70 year old. Doing leg kicks during the opening tee shots while Jack is struggling to tee up his ball. Langer is 67... but he strikes me as the same type. I would guess his ability to dominate the senior tour like he has is in large part due to the shape he is in, as most of those guys just let themselves go and were from the era before working out was part of golf.

@Fumbleweed @Cloaca du jour please send over your $50 for this event when you get a chance. You both should have a PM with my paypal info. Thanks

I almost wish the cut had been +1

I absolutely can’t wait for this season to be over Only like 10 drafted golfers projected to miss the cut and 3 of them belong to me

Also remember, payouts going forward are $40, $90, $190 ($40 x 8 per event $320)... this is what we used for the API that Cloaca skipped.

also @jerryskids cannot receive messages

Ed has sent me the $$ I am going to send everyone a PM with a look at my PP. I will need Cloaca and Fumble to send their entry fees for this event.

Sounds about right…

There’s horse nuts at it again

The rough finishes by Zal and Morikawa sucked but at least I feel like they are each playing well enough. Glover…. You still want him Lags?

BiffLager crushing it
