GCA Mock Fantasy Draft II - Dream Course Edition

[Kalen Braley]

Jim-

A question, please.

In this round, am I allowed to swap out an earlier pick and select two new picks (for a total of 3 transactions)? 

Yes

Why are we allowed to swamp out an earlier pick?  Shouldn't that be during the add/drop period after the draft?

JC Jones,

I don't see why this would be a problem as long as all 3 transactions are new holes.  Perhaps if it becomes a "habit" to his process, then maybe it would be problematic.

P.S.  I'm having a blast with this thread so far...I can't stop thinking about that "next" pick especially when you have to make all the holes fit as well as wanting to keep it near a par 72 like I will be doing just for fun.

[Mac Plumart]

Dude man...

if it makes it more fun for you...let'er rip!!!

Just don't take the holes I want. 

[Patrick Hodgdon]

I'll take a couple of Doak's while they're still on the board. The par-3 #8 @ RCCC and the par-4 #12 @ Cape Kidnappers.

RCCC #8: 193 Yds, Par 3;


Cape Kidnappers #12 - Infinity: 460 Yds, Par 4

[Ronald Montesano]

I can't get too excited when I have 44 guys ahead of me.  That's 88 holes that will be off the board by the time I get to pick again.  Stay away from Bushwood, OK?  I have my eyes on a few holes there.

[Jim Colton]

A slew of autopicks...pretty much everybody got what they wanted

[Cristian]

autopick round 4 sent...

[Jud_T]

Brad, fyi- #4 at Lahinch is a par 5.  I'll never forget it as one of the guys in our group double eagled it!

[Tom_Doak]

Okay, I'm on vacation without any of my books, and I've spotted everyone in the field 2-4 holes.  I call it even.

Here are my make-up picks:

Machrihanish #1 - 423 yards
Barnbougle Dunes #4 - 299 yards (as stupid as this is, because there are more great fourth holes than any other number)
Prairie Dunes #8 - 425 yards

I'll post the fourth after I look back on what's already been picked.

[Tom_Doak]

Fourth pick:  Shinnecock Hills #16  530 yards (but they've probably lengthened it)

[Patrick Hodgdon]

Tom Prairie Dunes #8 was taken in the second round. Also your Cypress #9 pick was already taken. (Not sure how many picks you are making up.)

[Mac Plumart]

I select Coure d'Alene--14th hole--???--par 3

because true architectural fans can appreciate a green that is movable!!!!




and Brickyard Crossing--10th hole---346 yards par 4--in Indianapolis...

because nothing reflects the true nature of the game like playing golf on the infield on the Indy 500!!!!!  

[Ronald Montesano]

Tom Doak...funny guy...so good he doesn't have to read what holes were picked...I like our odds.

[Jim Colton]

Richard Choi autopick
1. Pacific Dunes #15
2. Pacific Dunes #10

George F. is on the clock

We need one more replacement pick from Tom

[Tom_Doak]

Sorry, I did not see where Prairie Dunes was listed among the courses used.  My bad.  And Mayhugh took my next obvious pick (the sixth at National) while I was not paying attention.

So my fourth pick will be hole #6, Crystal Downs.  I think it's 384 yards or something like that from the back tee.

[Chip Gaskins]

Okay, I'm on vacation without any of my books, and I've spotted everyone in the field 2-4 holes.  I call it even.

Here are my make-up picks:

Machrihanish #1 - 423 yards
Barnbougle Dunes #4 - 299 yards (as stupid as this is, because there are more great fourth holes than any other number)
Prairie Dunes #8 - 425 yards

yes, but you are on the beach in Copacabana, so that's no handicap!

[Jim Thornton]

Jim Colton-

Please discard my previous autopicks...I'm going in a different direction.

Thanks-

Jim

[John Mayhugh]

Sorry, I did not see where Prairie Dunes was listed among the courses used.  My bad.  And Mayhugh took my next obvious pick (the sixth at National) while I was not paying attention.

Sorry, Tom.  I was surprised that it was still available.  There are quite a few good 6th holes out there.

[Ronald Montesano]

He's trying to make us feel sorry for him, with the "as stupid as this is" comment.

Sticking out there in the Atlantic, two hours ahead of us eastern guys, isn't going to help him.

Jim Thornton, nice break-up line "We've decided to go in a different direction."

John Mahugh, nobody's going to 8th holes anymore...they're too crowded!

Who's up, Harries?

[Jim Thornton]

Jim Colton-

What is the proper way to state the hole number if selecting a hole from a club that has 3 nines (ala TCC)?

Thanks-

Jim

[Jim Thornton]

Jim Colton-

To be more specific re: TCC, the other issue is how to reflect the hole number if using the routing from the composite course.

Jim

[Brad Fleischer]

Brad, fyi- #4 at Lahinch is a par 5.  I'll never forget it as one of the guys in our group double eagled it!

You are correct sir and I stand corrected. That's what happens when you type on a cell phone . I however made birdie my second round so
;p

Brad

Dont ask on my first

[Matt Bosela]

I've handed in a bunch of picks to Jim via PM so that should get me through my two fourth round picks and my three fifth round picks. 

Hopefully

[Jim Thornton]

By my count, George has now been on the clock for over 3 hours and hasn't submitted a pick...shall we proceed?

[Patrick Hodgdon]

By my count, George has now been on the clock for over 3 hours and hasn't submitted a pick...shall we proceed?

I think that was the rules laid out by Jim so I would think you are good to fire away.
