GCA Mock Fantasy Draft II - Dream Course Edition

[Jud_T]

That was my next pick as well...

[Ronald Montesano]

I think Mac has turned autopicks into Jim, so it is up to Jim to post them, then comes Choi.

[Mac Plumart]

I am online and I am unsure if Jim is...

either way, here goes:

Askernish--1st---590 yards par 5

Kiawah Ocean---2nd hole---543 yards---par 5

Pebble Beach---3rd hole---374 yards---par 4

[Richard Choi]

My picks...

Augusta National 1st hole, par 4, 445 yards - is there a more difficult opening hole in majors?



Ballyneal, 3rd hole, Par 3, ~140 yards - I better pick up my share of Ballyneal holes before they are all gone!



Bandon Dunes, 4th hole, Par 4, 410 yards - what a great way to introduce the coastline to the golfer.

[Alex Miller]

So I just sent in my autopicks to Jim....

And I made a pick (won't say what it is yet because there are still a couple people to go before it gets to me) and I want the hole to be a different par on my course than it is on its current one.

This hole is modeled after the Road hole, and as it stands today, it's shorter than the current Road's back tee. It's the definition of a half par hole, but I assume that since we're running our dream courses, we might be able to present the course the way we like.

Afterall, what is Oakmont's 9th? A par 5 or par 4? I would just like to use this one as a 4 for my card.... Thoughts?

[Jim Thornton]

Alex-

Sounds fine by me...I think you can make the par whatever you want it to be.  18th at Oakland Hills plays as a par 4 for championships and a par 5 for members.

Anybody heard from George?

Jim

[George Freeman]

my next three:

Franklin Hills Country Club #13, par 4, 301 yds

Oakmont Country Club #9, par 5, 477 yds

From Ran's profile


Eastward Ho! #3, par 4, 325 yds

Sorry Alex!    I swear I didn't see you're post while I was putting mine together (pics take a few minutes).

The Members play #9 as a par 5.

[Jim Thornton]

OK, gents, here you go.

1.  Myopia Hunt Club, No. 9, 135 yards, Par 3
2.  Shinnecock Hills, No. 6, 474 yards, Par 4
3.  Ballybunion (Old), No. 16, 499 yards, Par 5

[Jim Thornton]

Waiting for Jim to post Alex Miller's auto picks.

[Jim Colton]

Alex needs to make a replacement pick for one of his.

Here are the other two.
Eastward Ho! hole 6, par 4 420
NGLA hole 7, par 4 (for my course anyways) 470

[Ronald Montesano]

23   Alex Miller (owes one pick)
24   Jim Colton
25   Carl Nichols
26   Matthew Hunt
27   JNC_Lyon

Then back again.

[Alex Miller]

Ok, I've been rummaging through the draft boards to make sure this isn't picked.

Hopefully I'm right... 4th hole at Fisher's Island, par 4




Could someone get all of the picks on one board? I'm not great with that stuff 

[Mac Plumart]

I don't really need to see them written down, I can just remember which ones have been taken. 

You can't?

Huh.  Interesting.

The schedule hasn't worked out great for him given the time difference with Ireland. 

[Ronald Montesano]

So, since JNC just flipped and Matt is AWOL and Carl sent six picks, it is now back to Commodore Colton!!!!!

[Jim Colton]
