  1. Roy Keane for me Clive. 'Big name' and Celtic minded. Whether he'd be a good choice is another question.
  2. Don't agree with the weaker fields tbh, Nicklaus had to beat the likes of Player, Palmer, Watson, Trevino and Floyd, all multiple major winners themselves. All great players of course. I feel the depth of the fields have been stronger in the last 20 years, mostly due to the equipment and fitness levels which were undoubtedly influenced by Tiger.
  3. A serious car crash probably isn't good for someone with serious back problems. Just hope he's able to walk again and have a decent quality of life. After seeing him on Sunday, why didn't someone take the keys off him?
  4. Nicklaus' record was incredible, but I think the fields were weaker and Tiger's wins were more impressive. The US Open on one leg at Torrey Pines, that first Masters when he just destroyed the field and the course. Winning the US at Pebble by 15 strokes, the Open where he never hit a bunker all week. The comeback at Augusta in 2019. No one did it like The Cat.
  5. Sturgeon cleverly waiting until long after Rangers have won the league to avoid overwhelming our NHS with fat, drunken ****.
  6. Gparsfan beats beef2711 via resignation. Made a mistake on Saturday night, woke up on Sunday to shit position and just tried to go balls out afterwards and was picked off. Very well played m8.
  7. **Fantasy Golf Week 7** Always the bridesmaid This stuff almost writes itself now. Tony Finau proves for the umpteenth time that nice guys always finish last, or 2nd, or tied 5th. Full credit to Max Homa though, showing great character to win at a testing Riviera after missing a 3 footer on the 72nd hole for an outright victory and an impossible lie on the first play off hole, after Burns bottled it and Finau faded in the play off. He earns one of golf's most coveted prizes. A place in next years fantasy golf listings. Again, not much movement in the standings. Smashing through the 500 points barrier, @J_Stewart still leads the chasing pack as we count down to the Masters. Just 6 weeks until the fantasy league rolls up Magnolia Drive. Standings 514 (50) @J_Stewart 493 (42) @die hard doonhamer 473 (38) @Ro Sham Bo 446 (42) @alta-pete 441 (42) @lichtie23 379 (30) @Tartan Dave 378 (34) @Erih Shtrep 350 (54) @peasy23 304 (30) @Distant Doonhamer 212 (16) @Henderson to deliver ..... 174 (--) @Honest_Man#1 There's a PGA Tour event in Puerto Rico with the dross who haven't qualified for the big one. Matt Wallace may pick up some points for his fantasy teams in a weak field. Yes, it's WGC time this week, which means a 1.5x multiplier is in effect. No Mexico this year for pandemic reasons, we instead start the Florida swing early with a trip to 'The Concession'. An elite field of 72 go to post in this no cut event. Tiger, Phil, Rickie and Jordan the notable absentees. A new tour venue, the only course form we have is a win for a pre beefcake Bryson and a 3rd place for Thomas Detry in a 2015 college championship. Around 7500 yards, generous fairways, difficult greens with tiers and undulations and lots of forced carries, we're probably looking for long drivers, good putters and those who have a high ball flight. A design collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin and named after what is regarded as one of the great acts of sportsmanship, the putt conceded by Nicklaus at the 1969 Ryder Cup. Patrick Reed would be a fitting winner here I think.
  8. Huge moneyspinner for the club as we go away to a side in a higher division. We're only gone and conceded early doors and face a huge fight just to take it to a replay.
  9. Delighted I won't be dishing out 50 points for those who picked Finau, which seems to be almost everyone bar me.
  10. The 10th is a great hole for a play off.
  11. Oaft what a wedge from my man Max.
  12. Good starts from Burns, Finau and Homa here.
