Topic: Golf Talk / 2008 ISG Vision PGA Tipping Tour - Fedex Playoffs

from Fed Ex play off opening round….
“Normal scoring rules will apply throughout, but there will be some relaxation of the salary cap and nationality rules for the final two events. There will still be only one squad change allowed between events, so some squads will be inevitably be DQed if they have too many players eliminated after a given tournament. They may be able to redraft and compete once again in a later tournament.”

Muntzy – Any rule changes this week?

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - Changes Thread

Let me be the first to jump on the Ryudi Imada bandwagon.
Ranks 9th in Fed ex points, and will go deep into the playoffs.
Not convinced about the recent form.

Out Fisher – in Imada

My team has the wind in its “SAIL”

b Snedeker 2.53
s Appleby 3.22
r Imada 2.10
p Lonard 1.89

Total points 9.74

No rule changes for now folks.

Once we get to the pointy end of the FedEx playoffs I reserve the right to farnarkle endlessly. Maybe bump up the salary cap a little. We’ll see…

How about that though – Carl Pettersson wins when it’s not an ISG event. Doh! There goes my salary cap. But I guess it means he goes deeper into the playoffs.

Mr Muntz
are you trying to claim Pettersson in your squad?- I saw your team as
Stuart Appleby 2.57
Brandt Snedeker 2.62
Fredrik Jacobson 2.39
Chad Campbell 2.10
Total: 9.68

Who had Pettersson?
I smell a fat cheque on the way.

In Pete Lonard 1.96
Out Rudi Imada

squad
Stu Appleby (AUS) 3.11
B Snedeker (USA) 2.61
R Fisher (ROW) 2.23
P Lonard (AUS) 1.96

Total 9.91

Best of luck boys
Watch Snedeker miss the cut by one shot and end up better than most of the field

Replace JB Holmes with Ross Fisher (ROW)

Squad
Ross Fisher (ROW) 2.22
Stu Appleby (AUS) 2.62
B Snedeker (USA) 2.66
R Imada (ROW) 2.21

- although my tip is for Sergio to beat Pampling in a playoff

Can I take JB Holmes as my alternate?

Topic: Golf Talk / BBC Golf Commentary

The Director was crap compared to Aussie golf coverage.
Watching a player circle a putt for minutes isn’t my idea of watching golf. Aussie telecasts cuts to another player having a shot on the course. Aussie coverage is far better.

On commentators Ian Baker-Finch and, to a lesse extent Nick Faldo, (in the USofA coverage) are very informative about golf and not about knitting!

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping Competition

I would have to make 4 changes to my team before the Brits Open, to add an expensive player. Looks like this is not going to happen.

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - Changes Thread

It would really helpful to make a complete change to my team for the Brits Open (4 changes). Any chance of two changes per event????. (4 over 4 weeks)

what does every one think?... anarchy rules

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - Changes Thread

No changes to squad:

S Appleby 2.86
JB Holmes 2.34
R Imada 2.20 (saving him for the US Open)
B Snedeker 2.61 (useful team player as he keeps missing the cut by 1 shot)

Total now 10.01

Alternate H Slocum 1.76

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG Vision Golf 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - The Memorial

The alternate is a good idea with other suggestions added:
wtf is going on with the text?

– alternate only gets to play if two or three members tee off
– alternate only gets to play if two or three members tee off
– up to two changes each week (including the alternate)
- team to be under the salary cap (10 points) (including the alt if he plays, so he must be at or below the points for the lowest ranked player)

not too complicated- With so many teams ineligible this week, give it a try this week.

The haflway leaderboard will change big time after Appleby blew out to 4 over. My money is on Adlo.

Apples, Sneds, Ryudi and JBH

Topic: Golf Talk / Best W.A Golf Course

as per criteria in the golf course guide:
Best aesthetics – Joondalup
Most natural – Kennedy Bay (even more so, now it returns to bush)
Best course design – The Cut

(I’ve only walked Karrinyup so can’t rate)
Binningup is most enjoyable/relaxing
Vines is most playable (Marsh design with wide fairways)

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - The Players Championship

Damn – Ryuji has peaked too early! This is going to affect my salary cap big time.

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - The Players Championship

I don’t really have any complaints…other than the cut off rule. How about if you miss the cut off, then you player(s) who miss the cut are ineligible for the money (just like the tour)? [this would have wiped me out last week]

On the selection system…...
How about increasing salary cap to 20 points, pick 5 players, with your top 4 counting towards the result?

(but don’t change the system this year)

Keep up the great work

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - The Players Championship

Hey Muntzy
Any chance that you took the scores from the wrong column on the leaderboeard? (looks like you have taken the round four score)
I have JB Holmes +2, Appleby +3 and Snedeker +4 (=+8) – Total +13 not +15.
Seeing I fessed up earlier in the season about being ranked too high, you might be able to return the favour.

tough course… finds out suspect swings, eh Scotty.
Doesn’t Billy Mayfair hate the 17trh?? 57 over par in the years he has played..another doble bogey.
Apples will come back to make the cut.
