fixyurdivot Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Well, no rest for the weary. After the craziest Players event on record, a week long slog that only Pete Dye could love, the field heads to Tampa Bay area and Copperhead CC for the Valspar Championship. Sam Burns returns to defend his title and, at least for now, a pretty healthy field, to include many from The Players, are expected to be there. The weather forecast looks much better... I cannot help but think that will help any last minute travel plans. Those of us with Fantasy teams will have another dimension to factor into the play & sit decision. Some fun facts about Copperhead CC: It was designed by Larry Packard and opened in 1974 A contest ($250 purse) was held to name the course and included; Big Divot CC, Run Gator Run CC, and Skinny Squirrel CC Copperhead snakes are not indigenous to this part of Florida but Cottonmouths are... hmmm The desire to name the course after a snake was due to holes 16-18 being considered the "snake pit". Paul Azinger was quoted as saying "it's the best course on tour" and Curtis Strange said "if I had to choose one course to play the rest of my life, it would be Copperhead" If any of our spies have played this or the sister courses, please share your experience with us. As always, don't forget to pick your winner. https://runmypools.com/JRMPNWWF. Good luck!

Indeed, he, Rahm, and a few other top names have been a bit off their games of late... but that won't last long. When these gets get it going, they make up lots of ground quick. To those of you who are participating in the weekly pool, what does your standings show? I have no idea what score 27 and 1203 strokes means?

Not sure about the asterisk's though as I've picked a player for every event (7 so far) and got the system acknowledge that it was made. I've poked around on the web and the app site trying to glean insights on how it works but no joy as yet - beyond the note field. I totally forgot about the +100 for cut players... that's harsh . This is definitely not the caliber of Rob's Office Pools for the majors, but it was free and neither Jamie or I felt like springing for the $25/event cost of Office Pool.

Kenny B Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Let's see... who can I ruin this week by picking them?? I know, Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen. Looking for a strong finish by Adam Svensson. fixyurdivot 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the asterisks are how many players you've selected that have missed the cut.

fixyurdivot Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Their talking about the likelihood of a record low cut line for the event... quite a contrast from last week .

fixyurdivot Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Wow, B2B wins and Sam's second of the season! These rookie players are getting more impressive each year. I think that speaks to how well college golf programs are preparing these players. Much like college football and basketball, they are moving into the professional ranks with, seemingly, little growing pains. I see this as a HUGE difference to the PGA fields of 20+ years ago.
