I kinda like fading him this week. Not a great history at the course, wet conditions will hold back his drives from rolling out as much, it’s a second shot/wedge around the green and putting course. He isn’t very good at that and you can’t use a putting book on the greens which seems like something that would mess with his methodology. Maybe he’s just able to bomb and bully the course and being 25-50+ yards longer than the field leading to having more wedge/short iron shots than everyone is enough to overcome his deficiencies there, but I’m looking at some H2Hs and like outside top 15-20 finish for him to bet. I only do large multi-entry draftkings, and I'm fading him for partly those reasons, but largely straight ownership reasons. Completely unrelated side note: I went golfing the day after election day, and I shot a 100. Got beat by an 80 year old guy named "Mondo," who appearantly shot his age a month ago.

Just keep playing Goedert and profit. -
Week 7: Bears at Rams 7:15 MNF on ESPN

I'll put this here. -
It probably just takes getting used to. My 3 wood is my favorite club, and that wasn't the case until I started playing real courses. After that, for a while I was just using half and quarter swings with my 3 wood or 5 wood to avoid the attrocites that were my long irons, but after I forced myself to use them, they have gotten almost as good as my fairway woods. Now I have a real shot of putting it on or very near the green all the way to 230 yards out. Progress! yes, that is it exactly. I don't spend enough time at the range to be consistent with those clubs and never hitting them hinders improvement and consistency. The range isn't the same anyway because of the lie factor. Did end yesterday's 6500 yard round by hitting the back of the green from 180 yards so that was nice. Sure. You just have to kind of luck out of you have a bad lie. Add a club or thee depending how bad it is. Those kind of shots are for the pros to hit consistantly. And having consistent ranges is kind of the same thing. I'm still working on what my range IS with each club. First things first. The last two times I played, I was hitting it over the green much more often than being short, which I think it a good sign overall. I'm just hitting the ball cleaner more often than I used to. (Btw, if the distance that I mention I'm hitting shots sounds long, know that I have the Coors effect going for me. Which is nice.)

One thing I have learned in the last few weeks, is that I cannot hit anything longer than a 6 (except the driver). Stands to reason since most of our rounds are at a course where any decent drive puts you into wedge territory. Time for longer courses but boy are those exhausting when you horsefeathers long clubs. It probably just takes getting used to. My 3 wood is my favorite club, and that wasn't the case until I started playing real courses. After that, for a while I was just using half and quarter swings with my 3 wood or 5 wood to avoid the attrocites that were my long irons, but after I forced myself to use them, they have gotten almost as good as my fairway woods.

Ha, oddly enough I have Kyler and Herbert too (I just picked up Herbert a few weeks ago). I told my league I'm willing to listen to offers for Kyler (who's locked in at $12 for next year) to see if I can upgrade the rest of my lineup. I'm about to lose for the first time this season, though, in large part because I didn't start Gio Bernard over Jerick McKinnon yesterday - I'd grabbed Gio just to block other people from getting him and should've put him in. That was a dumb move on my end. I can still win today but it would take a pretty bad bed-crapping from Jared Goff. I have Mahomes/Herbert and I'm really fighting the urge to shop Mahomes. I feel like if I did, Herbert would immediately fall back to earth, because of course. ...why not shop Herbert?

yeah yeah yeah. we get it. we know. go away man. Damn. I knew Sliders wasn't popular but I didn't think it would be that controversial to reference. I'm more of a Gimli guy.

I was running a middle school wrestling camp when I was in college, and a kid dislocated his elbow. I tried my best to act like it was no big deal while we waited for the ambulance, but it sure as hell looked like his arm was snapped in half. I think I played it off effectively.
-
I just watched the footage. It might not be as bad as everyone assumes. (Stress might). It could be as simple as a dislocation and a boat load of sprains. Prob done for the season tho.

What you do with the ball is your own business, no need to bring it in to the wholesome Golf thread. I actually typed mis-hit without the hyphen, and there we are. (The profanity filter is insanely horsefeathering dumb.)

This is really going to hurt their playoff hopes Who gets the first pick? The 0-16 team, or the 0-14 team? I assume the 0-16?
-
Crushed my PR today with a 94. I probably averaged just short of 3 putts a hole, which is the worst I've done in years, by a lot. Really fun and frustrating all at once. I had two different times where I had a 20 foot putt for eagle, and got a bogey and a double bogey, respectively. Just gross. Apart from putting and chipping, I only mishit the ball TWICE, which is just...bonkers for me.

I think their entire secondary is comprised of walk-ons, whereas the Packer's WRs were only 2/3rds walkons.

He's ALMOST Mike Goldburg bad.
-
Ok, so now I count three uncalled, obvious facemasks on Packers RBs. Is there an award when we get to half a dozen?
-
On a 1-10 odd scale, if I'm being generous, that's a 2.
-
how's abuck's team doing Haha. Yeah, never again with that guy. Never again. But thanks for reminding me how fun that was. #-o
