KSB and thegeneral for sure. I haven't heard from Horseman in a couple days

I was looking forward to draft threads turning into a political donnybrook

The Ryder Cup. Tommy Fleetwood did right by me.

If I recall the very last group bogeyed or birdied 18 to create a tie.

I will wait till you throw a temper tantrum and quit.

I am in for this year again. I am semi-skeptical about us getting a draft done on time with this many people, but that's nothing new for me as Ed has pointed out numerous times. Besides, I fully expect Ed to quit on us again at some point and that will lighten the load a bit.

We had 12 back in the day and were able to get drafts finished. Horseman may be banned because he hasn't logged in so it may only be 11. We have 2 things working for us

1. Clocaine is drafting on the end 

2. I run a tight ship. I keep these things moving. 

[BiffTannen 1,307]

Dain is out. He started a new job and can’t log in as frequently to check the draft.  Assuming horseman is out that leaves us with 10. I’m going to start a thread to see if we have any other takers.

still would be quicker than clocaine

[BiffTannen 1,307]

We are rolling with 10 this year. No one wants to be one of the cool kids. On a side note- only 79 more days until….

The EdEx guys need to get together one day and litter the front page with golf threads.  A thread for each player, every bit of news that comes across the wire, equipment, training videos, you name it. 

[BiffTannen 1,307]

As we all know the PGA Tour tried to fock EdEx by going to the signature event schedule with only 60 player fields with no cuts a few years back. Last year as a group we decided to not do tournaments where we would only be drafting 4 players. That brings what used to be a premier tournament and always our opening day back on the calendar - The Farmers Insurance Open. The field isn't a complete pile of sh1t, but its not stellar either. The first two events of the year will be like playing at the AAA level, and then we swing into the elite fields we all like with The Players Championship. 

Note: We did keep the Memorial, and that may be a draft 5, but other than that, all other events will be draft 6. That said, here is the field for the Farmers. I think it will be fun having to dig a bit and do some research on these guys.
