And yes - I know about Jon Rahm. What a nice guy. Now I’ve got my two Korean players deciding to skip The British to get ready for the Olympics. Yep. Some years it’s just not meant to be.

Another IDI in the books. Amazing weekend!

It’s been a long time since the IDI was played over multiple days. But Sunday the 4th saw the traditional round of golf in Granville. The City seemed so happy to see us. Monday took us out to Royal American for their farewell tour as they close at the end of the year.

The competition for the coveted crystal boot was between myself, Doug, Big J and Brandon . And it wasn’t much competition. Big J was on his game with a smooth 81 to win the cup. We’ve all seen this ceremony too many times before!

As always, a few shots from #18.

Announcement from the Commissioner’s Office

Some of you already know this. But your Commissioner has decided to hang up his dental floss and retire. Clearly, I need to spend more time focusing on my FGL duties. When I look back at my Draft picks, I clearly must have been distracted. I will be retiring at the end of January. Still not sure how all of you are going to out-live me. I just may attempt to prove you wrong!

Monday’s outing was at Moraine Country Club in Dayton

Oh Harris!

Not much changed at the Travelers. Of course, Big J picked up more points. But the big news was the 8 playoff holes needed before Harris English brought home a win for Monica.

Such deep thought!

IDI just two weeks away! Noon on 7/4. I'm expecting a huge parade! Lots of baked beans.

US OPEN

Big J’s team was only very average for this Major. How did that happen? Doug picked up 14 points to close the gap just a little. The biggest week went to Kevin with 26 points and his second major championship. Kevin jumps to 3rd place as we close out our 4th Major.

Not much happens in SC

B.T.O. had a nice week. 13 points. But for most of the rest of us - a weekend of rest.

Let's head to Torry Pines for some US Open action. (This is where Tiger beat Rocco on a broken leg.)

Wow - what a tournament!

Of course - we had lots of rain Thursday. That would normally be the story. But not this time.

I don’t care for Bryson. I think he’s very odd. But walking on the sidewalk behind Brooks Koepka just doesn’t seem like the basis of some major feud. But wow - fans were escorted off of the Muirfield grounds by taking all this far too seriously. And so I figured that would be the big story. But no…..

Kevin makes a major trade to pick up Jon Rahm. On Saturday, as Rahm is running away with the tournament, I’m being heckled for my “brilliant” move of dropping Rahm just weeks earlier. My daughter Ashley, my brother, people I don’t even know - everyone giving me crap about Rahm on his way to win the Memorial. I even joked with my brother - who was at the tournament Saturday - that he’d need to do something to get Rahm DQ’d. I heard the news Saturday night and saw the video replay Sunday morning. While a little happy for myself, that’s just terrible news for Rahm. And Kevin. Kevin ended up going backwards with Rahm not finishing and Peppermint Patty and John Holmes not making the cut.

Monica got a nice win in overtime from Cantlay. 16 points for her. And Jim picked up 22 points to move up the leaderboard. But your Commissioner brought home the Major sidebet and 24 points largely thanks to Morikawa’s 2nd place finish and good Sunday rounds by Si Woo Kim and Alex Noren.

Also some news way down in the basement. With Dynomite Walker having a good tournament, Dave has crawled out of the basement, ahead of Al. The Doctor had Cameron Champ miss the cut badly and Kuchar deciding not to come back out on Friday to finish his opening round.

Week before the US Open and we're off to some new tournament in South Carolina. And most no one is playing in it - at least FGL golfers.

Kevin rocks the Commissioner’s Office with blockbuster trade!

Hours before the start of the Memorial Tournament, Manager Kevin has fired half his team. Henrik Stenson, Marc Leishman and Daniel HamBerger are gone. Immediately. As security escorted them out, Kevin welcomes his trio of Pepper mint Patty (good to have you back), big John Holmes and Jon Rahm. Good luck to some extent Kevin.

Played SnowHill with Big J Sunday.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all……………..and then you see more. J laying on the ground fishing his ball out and then hitting a Driver from the rough. Obviously an interesting day!

Charles Schwab tournament makes a statement

Big J finished 1st and 2nd in Texas. All of Doug’s boys stayed home. That tells you all you need to know. Oh - and Dave has finally pulled to within one point of getting out of the basement.

Let's go see Jack

I’m told the greens have all been redone. A few holes longer. An additional bunker or two. Jack is trying to put some teeth back in his course. A decent FGL field but not the best. Kevin and B.T.O. have just one guy playing.

What a wild PGA Championship

Phil won? I was totally wrong on that. Even predicted as late as Saturday that there was no possible way he’d hang on. Oops. But I look at many others that finished in the top 5: Oosthuizen, Lowry, Higgs, Peppermint Patty. FGL Managers - we all missed out on that.

For awhile, it looked like perhaps Big J would deliver a knock-out punch to the leaderboard. All 6 of this guys made the cut, but in the end, none of them cracked the top 20. And so, the season moves on with 2 of 5 Majors behind us.

Kevin had the best weekend thanks to Koepka’s 2nd place finish and wins the Sidebet Major Pool

My brilliant trade of Rahm for Morikawa was a wash. They both finished tied for 8th. Hey - I tried. Just don’t see it happening this season for the Commissioner.
