Course Notes and Quotes: Narashino CC
The PGA TOUR heads to the land of double greens at the ZOZO Championship.  The host course is Narashino Country Club, which had to skip a year of hosting due to COVID-19, but we’ve still seen it twice. Tiger Woods won the first time, and Hideki Matsuyama won in front of the home crowd last […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open
Every week, including this week at the Shriners Children’s Open, a crucial part of success in PGA DFS GPPs will be hitting on lower-owned/lower-salary golfers.

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open
The PGA Tour takes on a familiar TPC Summerlin layout this week for the Shriners Children’s Open.    The course is generous and often leads to a birdiefest while the winner usually eclipses the 20-under mark. The makeup of the field strength has led me to a very top-heavy build approach this week, so let’s […]

Consequently, each tournament — like this week’s Shriners Children’s Open — provides its own unique challenge, which emphasizes certain areas of the game more than others. At this point, you’ll want to familiarize […]

Round 3 Showdown is where things start to get tricky in terms of balancing a player’s play through two rounds with their baseline talent level and expectation coming into the event.

2022 Sanderson Farms Championship Round 2 Showdown Picks and Strategy
On day one I talked about cold morning temperatures leading to a rare p.m. lean for me. The afternoon starters ended up averaging 0.78 strokes better than the morning wave. Will we see the same thing on Friday?    It’s still a bit chilly for the earliest starters tomorrow but they’ll see less wind so […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2022 President’s Cup
Last season’s Ryder Cup was a successful one for me, as Dustin Johnson as a lightly rostered captain led me to a takedown. Unfortunately, the path doesn’t seem to be as simple as stacking a low-rostered American team that was both more talented than the Europeans and playing on a course that perfectly fit their […]
