Same! Not much of a beer drinker honestly, but I'll have a Guinness on St paddys. The only light beer I've ever had that I could drink more than one of is Coors light, probably because it's like drinking water lol

Coors Lite is my summer, work around the homestead, beer.  A brief time in the freezer or straight out of a cooler buried in ice so that mountain top is as blue as it can get .  30 packs on sale for $21 every Friday at the local supermarket...almost as cheap as bottled water .

Last week, the penthouse

This week... the outhouse .

GB13 was my closest match 

Still, Jordan netted me some points and they might just prove the difference somewhere down the road. Back to a full compliment at the PGA Championship .

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

I think I made a big 10-0 move.

Tough week, I'm hoping for a better week for your team on the pga-championship.

Wow Sam Burns, best $13 FAAB I’ve ever spent. THRILLED to come out of this week with 8 wins after only having 3 guys in the event and 2 make the cut. 
 

I presume most people will have a lot of guys going in the PGA but I’m very interested in trade talks with those of you who need to add a player or two that’s playing this week. Here we go with the 2nd major!

[xOldBenKenobiX]

K. H. Lee was a great pick up for this weekend, I got plenty of points and a 10-0.

@ChiefMikeOfficergave me a run for my money.

As close to a tie as it could've been. 

[GolfSpy_BNG]

Very nice week for this guy!  The trades that netted me Berger and Spieth worked out. Plus I will take 0.2% credit for @xOldBenKenobiXpicking up the winner! Lol Nicely done sir!  Back on top after going 10-0!

 

Also any guys looking to pick up a couple guys playing this week, I’m always up for a 2 for 1 trade. 

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Was a heck of a week with 2 top 5 finishers in kizzire and Berger. Noren was also a helpful pickup! Solid 10-0 week to jump up

[cnosil]

Was hoping for a 10-0 week,  but I'll take the 9-1 outcome.    Got all but one playing next week so I am hoping for another great week to move me up in the standings. 

[daviddvm]

I'm back in the playoffs after this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is the first time all season that MY WHOLE TEAM WILL BE STARTING a tourney together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do owe you my thanks for the heads up buddy.

No thanks needed my man. I’ll just enjoy my 0.2% of the winner!

[Quigleyd]

Slight bump this week. Hopefully the pga provides some fire works..

[Nunfa0]

Well somehow I jumped 7 places to 13th and I'm hoping for a full team going into this week. My refusal to trade Rahm is paying off and a couple of my team are really starting to ramp up

Week 15: AT&T Byron Nelson Recap
Another week and another new first time winner. Congrats to KH Lee on the ultimate going low performance. Fun weekend of golf to watch with a insane cutline at -6 (sorry Rickie) some weather to spice things up on the final day and some other names making a impact on our fantasy season. 

The trade master himself @blackngold_blood has positioned himself atop the standings backed by strong performances by both Spieth and Berger. He makes it 8 different leaders so far this season for the rankings and also just so happens to to lead in total fantasy points earned so far as well. Finally he also leads in most players rostered, but that isn't a real surprise. Either way congrats to him for making it to the top.... for now. 
Our top 15 YTD are below.


High Scoring Team of the Week goes to @Lacassem with a whopping 274.45 points. He had 5 in the field and all made the cut with Berger, Kizzire, Zalatoris and Noren being his leading scorers. Another important fact to point out is that this is the highest total any team has achieved in a week so far this season. Well done!
Not to be forgotten though is @thestiffshafts who also would have had the highest ever this season, but he scored a big 265.55. Needless to say these teams went 10-0, below are our others. 

Congrats and well done for this week!

Our own cut line race heating up as well. 

A few things to note which have been mentioned, but it is worth reiterating. Top 35 teams make the cut, this starts with the FedEx cup playoffs. Points carry over from event to event in the playoffs so yes owning top 30 guys is nice, but it is really the top 125 that is critical. Included for earning top spots in the regular season bonus points are awarded to the top teams after the regular season. This means that Ranked Team 1 is not on equal footing as Ranked Team 35, to try and reward teams for their regular season performance. It is very important try and climb as high up the standings, which means some players who don't play very often are not as helpful as those who do. Of course everyone values all players differently, but when making roster moves keep that in mind. Top 30 in the FedEx will likely still change a lot between now and then. We still have a lot of weeks left and over two and half months till the trade deadline. 

That is a good lead into our players left on the Waiver Wire. 
Of course our winner was left on there only owned by 2 others. @xOldBenKenobiX has already thanked BNG for last minute swap, but there were lots of guys on there so good pickup. In total 44 players on the WW made the cut at the event with the top 5 being:

Some names I wouldn't have necessarily guessed, but they put up some big numbers. 

Despite having record numbers for the year one number that didn't end up being crazy high was our league median. It came in a middle tier of 138.53. This likely has to do with the field wasn't full of some of the bigger names and many teams only had 2 or 3 in the field. 

Rather then doing close matches this week I am going to switch clubs and provide some new content for everyone. This is all pulled off the Fantrax site and I will admit I am not 100% on these numbers... they seem to be a few weeks behind. Either way hopefully some decent entertainment.

Teams with most Birdies (over 500 YTD)


Teams with most Hole in Ones:


Most Top 5:


Top 25s:

Again I have a feeling they are a little dated as the total points don't quite add up, but either way nice to have a change. 

That is a wrap for Week 15. Next week we have our second Major and hopefully a great exciting week of golf (it is also Monaco weekend for the F1 so lots to watch) 

Thanks for reading and following along and good luck to everyone!

Another awesome recap.

Thank you Jamie

Trade chart has been updated folks.

 

MGS Golf Fantasy Trade Chart

 

Just for comparison, KH Lee and Zalatoris

I cant wait for Zalatoris to get his first win and be ranked on the FedEx Cup.

Lee went from 137 to 59 on OWGR with his weekend win.

And went from 84 to 29 on the FedEx rankings, I don't have a tally of possible points for Zalotris and his finishing's for the the year, but I would think that when he wins, he will got straight to the top 30 on the FedEx rankings.

 

Happy trading folks

I believe it was said at one time that a win would catapult him into the top 10!

That would be awesome for him, I like the way he plays and would really enjoy seeing him have some success

[Josh Ross]

Well the two teams I traded with this past week were the highest scoring in the league. Anybody else want in on that action? Looking to move FedEx #1 Bryson for a different top piece. Will add one or two people with him to make a deal depending on the return. Interested in Cam Smith, Hovland, Justin Thomas, Rahm, Schauffele.

Make me an offer. Smith is untouchable

Smith is the only guy on your roster that I would want considering it's Bryson. Anything else would be hurting my team. Harris English isn't bad but I don't like rooting for the guy, I traded him off my team as fast as I could earlier in the year, haha.

Zal is a stud. I had to trade him as I just know that winning on tour is extremely hard. I think I got good value. If he ends up winning I will be a little bummed but that is the risk..

That is the risk we all have, still he is a stud.

[xOldBenKenobiX]

Some trades were made, some offers are out, and I will probably send a few more before the end of the day.

If only badges had a rarity value to them. Sadly that one would be in the common section of badges.
