GCA Mock Fantasy Draft - NEED JUDGES

[Ben Sims]

so you did it?  Friar;s Head for Pasa?

It was confirmed this morning as I drove to work I think.  Right commish?

[Jim Colton]

Ben, why are you posting your picks 10 slots ahead of your turn. Let's try to go in order.

Jay Flemma: Pete Dye:  Whistling Straits (Straits), Bulle Rock, Antigua Golf resort

JC is up.

[JC Jones]

I will take Tilly... again: Ridgewood CC, Newport CC and Fenway

Newport was taken under Ross.


I pick:

RTJ:

Balutsrol (Lower); Congressional (Blue); Point O Woods

[Ronald Montesano]

Like all good things, the first time through was a trial run.  The problem has been the level of attention paid.  As those vets of a live fantasy draft know, you sign on for the duration or you take what the database gives you.

My thinking on this one is, when all is said and done, we sit back and admire our lists and do nothing more.  We can't have any "competition" as it would be entirely subjective, based on vacillating criteria (unlike fantasy sports, where unfeeling points win the day!)

The next draft might be 18 rounds long and represent the perfect golf course...that's all we have...fun, not competition.

[Kalen Braley]

Johnny Miller - Thanksgiving Point, Entrada, Metropolitan Links

[Jud_T]

boys-take a gander thus far-at the risk of sounding cocky I think there's only 1 or 2 of you who stack up to this:

1. MacKenzie - Crystal Downs, Cypress Point, Palmetto
2. Old Tom - prestwick, lahinch, machrihanish
3. Coore/Crenshaw - austin golf club, old sandwich, lost farm
4. Langford- Lawsonia, Skokie, Harrison Hills
5. Doak - Stonewall (old), Rennaisance Club, Stone Eagle
6. Hawtree- Western Gailes, Hillside, Island
7. Alex Russell - Paraparaumu Beach, Royal Melbourne (East), Yarra Yarra

I can tell you that the Palmetto pick in the first round with the first picks is mind-boggling.  Perhaps I'll feel differently next week.  Im also unsure as to whether Palmetto is correctly classified as a MacKenzie considering, from what I understand, his work there is limited to the greens.  Leaving several MacKenzie courses on the board there was a mistake.

[Ronald Montesano]

Boys...at the risk of sounding like a douche, take a look at my list...none of you stacks up to my list

Jesus Christ - Heavenly Host, Holy Trinity, Golgotha
Siddhartha - Random Thoughts, Eternal Wait, Hungry Belly
Ghandi - Flaming Sandal, Bald Top, Ivory Robe
Mother Theresa - Calcutta Immortal, Cleansing Washbasin, The Poor and The Sick
Vishnu - Dharma Cattle Company, Four Arms, Bagger Vance Memorial

[Bill Brightly]

Jaeger grabs "best available Tillinghast," Ridgewood, in Round 7, A steal. He gets 27 holes to boot!

[JC Jones]

Jaeger grabs "best available Tillinghast," Ridgewood, in Round 7, A steal. He gets 27 holes to boot!

I thought grabbing of Baltusrol (Lower) in round 7 was a deal....

[Jud_T]

JC- I know Palmetto was sketchy, and the pick was rushed somewhat but when you consider where you want to play and not simply the highest ranked courses, although it may be unbelievable I think it's more my kind of place, both in terms of course for my game and club atmosphere, on a day to day basis than say Augusta....

[Patrick Hodgdon]

I was hoping the Tillies would fall but alas, good picks boys.

So I'll go with Flynn: Kittanset, Lehigh, Indian Creek.

The Sandmen" through 7 of 8 (10?) rounds:

Sorry I snaked your Sheep Ranch.  You can have it if you really need it.
