GCA Mock Fantasy Draft II - Dream Course Edition

[Alex Miller]

You should only have 6 holes left in your 18!

[Matt Bosela]

Just an FYI but I sent Jim a PM with my next three choices just in case I'm not around after JC makes his selections.  Putting the baby to sleep right now and will be back around 9pm EST.

[Carl Nichols]

You should only have 6 holes left in your 18!

I guess I should've been paying attention -- though I still need 7!

[Wyatt Halliday]

Jason is trying to narrow down the list of his favorite Florida holes now.

Well done, I just choked on my apple juice!

I promise that number exceeds the number at Eagle Eye

[Mac Plumart]

Carl...

I am certainly open to a trade after the draft is over, but it is too confusing for my pea-sized brain to trade during the process!!! 

I've got my eyes on the 2nd at Pinehurst.   

[Jim Colton]

Wyatt up...

[Wyatt Halliday]

 I would first like to substitute #5 at Pasatiempo for #5 at Royal Melbourne (West), 175 yds., Par 3

Can I legally do that Commish?

On to the picks:
Riviera - No. 9, 458 Yds., Par 4
Banff Springs - No. 12, 547 Yds., Par 5
Bandon Trails - No. 13, 401 Yds., Par 4

[Eric Smith]

Sleepy Hollow # 16 - Par 3 - 155 Yards

Sloppy 2nds. 

Just like USC got today.  Un****ing believable.

[Ronald Montesano]

Even though Jim has mine, here they are:
#2--Bethpage Black...387 par four
#8--Dunes Club...513 yards par five
#10--Pacific Dunes...205 yards par three

I am on the way to a course that plays to a par of 40-33=73...it's all in the cough medicine.

[JC Jones]

Sleepy Hollow # 16 - Par 3 - 155 Yards

Sloppy 2nds. 

Just like USC got today.  Un****ing believable.

I just saw that.  You were the first person I thought of calling.  Didn't want to wake the girls though.

[Eric Smith]

Sleepy Hollow # 16 - Par 3 - 155 Yards

Sloppy 2nds.  

Just like USC got today.  Un****ing believable.

I just saw that.  You were the first person I thought of calling.  Didn't want to wake the girls though.

How could they sleep...daddy is having a conniption fit! Oh well, uh, Coach Fulmer is still looking for a job isn't he?

I am only kidding about the sloppy 2nds with Coach Kiffin though.  He is awesome and USC will thrive under him and that staff.  I will miss the energy they brought to Knoxville.

[JC Jones]

Phat Phil

[Eric Smith]

Phat Phil

you mean Full Philmer

[Tom_Doak]

Wow, just got back from dinner with Bill Coore, Dave Axland, Bruce Hepner and Brian Schneider, and I'm up!

I hope none of these three have been taken already:

#2  St. George's G & CC, Canada  - I think it was 443 yards

#8  Royal West Norfolk, Brancaster, England - 485 yards

#9  Friars Head, NY - don't know the yardage, since Bill tries to hide how short the course is by not handing out a card with yardages

P.S.  I am calling b.s. on Jud Tigerman, who seems to be picking most of his holes courtesy of the Gazetteer in the back of The Confidential Guide ... unless he has actually PLAYED the 13th at The Addington and the 18th at St. Enodoc under all possible wind conditions.

[Jim Colton]

Tom, did you have to tell the guys: "sorry fellas, I gotta run. I think I'm on the clock."

[JC Jones]

Tom, did you have to tell the guys: "sorry fellas, I gotta run. I think I'm on the clock."

Now I know why I wasn't invited to the routing party today.  Tom was just protecting Bill Coore from having some soft hands lawyer from Naples come up with a better routing than him.

[Brad Fleischer]

Jason is trying to narrow down the list of his favorite Florida holes now.

Well done, I just choked on my apple juice!

WOW it's come down to apple juice now huh !!! Say it aint so tex

Brad

[Jud_T]

Tom,

Of course I have  I'm pretty sure that a large percentage of these holes are holes guys haven't played...We could do a different draft with only holes guys have played but that would give you a rediculous advantage!  As for similarities in our tastes, hey what can I say, great minds think alike... I'll try to mix it up a bit to leave you a few pix.....

[Jim Colton]

Brad:
royal adelaide 11th hole par 4 386 yards
kuari cliffs 17  par 4 472
valderarrama 10th 389

Cristian:
7 Morfontaine  par 4 430 yds
2 Royal St George's par 4 420 yds
15 Haagsche par 4 395 yds

Eric will have to 10 am ET Weds before it moves on to Kalen and Patrick.  The next autopick that I have is Tim B.

[Eric Smith]

                                       Royal St. Georges – Hole 3 – 210yds – Par 3




                                                                Prairie Dunes – Hole 13 – 445yds – Par 4





                                                                    Ballyneal – Hole 16 – 540yds – Par 5

[Ronald Montesano]

Those are great selections, Eric.  Who the heck has been at the podium this past fortnight (or at least it seems that long)?

[Jim Colton]

Kalen has until 11:00 AM ET to make a pick, else it's on to Patrick.
