Fantasy News and Recommendations for selected players for this week's Players Championship

Jim Furyk: News: Missed cut last week. Last two years at Players have resulted in top 10 finishes. Putting has been his nemesis so far this year, but has quietly won over one million dollars.
Rec: he's in my lineup this week. A seasoned pro who should do well with Tiger out of the mix. Straight shooter who usually shows up in the big spot. Been waiting on him all year. This could be his week.

To the Nines
RUGator :: 2 months ago :: 190 views

What a game is this golf. Coming off my loop today, reminded me of just that reality.

One of my two players was lights out on the front, throwing in bomb after bomb through 8 holes. Par on 9 gives him a 37 (+1) on the front nine of the difficult course where I caddy. 

Number 9 is a short, straight away par 4. The only trouble off the tee is a forced carry of about 150 yards over an environmentally protected area and dead left which is out of bounds. He's had no real difficulty driving the ball up to this point. Mostly been "walking the dog" around the course (short but straight).

Gentlemen Prefer Golf
RUGator :: 2 months ago :: 189 views

Of the many tales I've told in this space, most tend to border (or at least attempt to) on humor. But there's one aspect of caddying (and being around golfers) that I haven't shared with you. And that's the gentlemanly potential of the game.

When I greet my players, it's always "hats off" in a show of respect (and it goes both ways). I hear things like, "so nice to see you," good to see you again," how's teaching," and "thank you." Golf has the capacity to bring out the best in human behavior. I wish I could count the number of times I've heard one member in a group invite another to their course, to "have dinner with us" or "give me a call" after a round.

Hit balls yesterday (Sat.) for the first time this year. I can barely walk/feel my hands. Anyone who thinks that golf doesn't tax the muscles has never been 44 and hit balls in 44 degree weather.

Thanks to all members, both recent and from the beginning. I'm proud of the efforts all of you have put forth in making this such a successful group. Let's keep it going by staying active through commenting, blogging, and spreading the word. Thanks again. Mike
