GCA Mock Fantasy Draft - NEED JUDGES

[Ronald Montesano]

As keeper of the Walter J. Travis Society web page (http://buff-golf.com/travis.htm), I'll go with the Old Man and select...

1.  Yahnundasis
2.  Ekwanok
3.  Lookout Point

and yes, Southern Hills in Tulsa is indeed taken...I grabbed it in round one with Perry Maxwell.

[Kalen Braley]

Ok I guess I'm up again.

I gotta go with my boy Mike Young.

Courses are:

Longshadow,
Wolf Creek
Southern Hills

P.S.  Shinnecock is indeed mine because it is far more Flynn out there than it is CBM...so its belongs to me!!!

Isnt Southern Hills taken?

Mike Young's Southern Hills and Wolf Creek are different from the other ones....

Tim, I'm surprised you didn't take Blackwolf Run

How many rounds do we go?  4? 6?

[Tim Bert]

Jim - I had a post all typed up with the following:

Whistling Straits
Blackwolf Run River
Blackwolf Run Meadows

But I was scared you might make me live with it.  Ironically, my draft is looking a lot like I hope my 2010 looks.

[Mac Plumart]

I know I'm line jumping, but I'm heading into a meeting and won't be able to monitor.  And I know that know one will take my guy/courses...

Tom Fazio...Shadow Creek, Gozzer Ranch, The Green Monkey!!!!

Baby! 

Jim...if someone gets these while I am in my meeting...I'll refer to my original provisional shot with the Drew Rogers courses.

Thanks.

For fun...how many of you all are rolling your eyes and saying who the heck is this guy?!?!?

Later!

[Jud_T]

so how long is the clock anyway?

[Patrick Hodgdon]

How many rounds do we go?  4? 6?

I'd say 6. That would be 90 selections and 270 courses (15x6x3) total and I think it will get interesting toward the end.

Jaeger-Meister,

JC didn't select yet and Flemma has an auto pick, so you can't go yet.

[Jud_T]

jim, check your messages for my autopicks, thanx....

[Will MacEwen]

Rob Rigg got good value in his back to back picks.

[Jay Flemma]

BTW->  I am back live with all of us again to do my part in the draft.

I also thought of something we can do to add an extra dimension to this:)  Once we're done, we all get to invite one other drafter for a "home and home" series of rounds.  For example person and asks person B if they want to join...person b can say yes or say no I wanna see if person c wants to join me, until we all pair off.  Then the pairs ask another pair until we get a foursome of GCAers!

[JNC Lyon]

But I thought White Bear was a Willie Watson course!!!  Just kidding, solid pick there.  Tell me more about the Balsams.  My family vacations in New Hampshire (Squam Lake) every summer, but we have not made the trek to Dixville Notch.

[Rob Rigg]

How long does the clock tick before skippage - where did the Meister go?

Let's get round 3 done and 4 started before night night time.

It's all just SO exciting! 

[Ronald Montesano]

Well, just send Jim Colton three sets of picks and we'll make him do all the work...Fantasy drafts don't work if people ain't be showing.

[Jay Flemma]

It's cute and a nice place to take a girl for a weekend.  I thought about Manchester CC, but thought I'd take a public course.  I'm not strong on ross courses, so I might have left meat on the bone for someone else.

I've been sitting here for three hours...Jaeger?  Buehler?  Buehler?  Buehler?

Shall we set a six hour limit?  After all, you can miss your pick in a real draft:)  then you get to jump n whenever to make it up...shall we give him till 7:43 EST?  1:43 was the last pick...

How's the GCA at the Balsams? I'm betting that the resort and town are very cool, much like a lot of New Hampshire.

[Ronald Montesano]

add archies for picks 11 and 21...

good elevation change, nice greens...nothing crazy great.  again, it's a pretty place to take your girl and have a nice break, even if it is a little out of the way.

[Alex Miller]

I think we should be able to propose trades to other people which include the courses and the ability to exchange any of them for an un-picked course by the same architect! This thing is getting REAL

[Jim Colton]

I'm fine with the six-hour limit, ten hours if it's overnight.

Give Jaeger an extra hour sine we just implemented the rule.  He has until 843 pm eastern

If your pick is skipped, you can make your Make-up selection at any time. 

Please send the guy after you a PM after you've picked, letting him know he's on the clock.
