Captain Kirk flies high for Manager Jim

James T. won for the first time in several light years at the Honda Classic. Big opening week and a strong statement by Manager Jim. When many of us are still left at the starting line or even went backwards, Jim puts the thrusters on overdrive and takes the lead.

The other big news - Paul is in second place. Really. He’s spent less than $10 and he’s beating 8 of us. Very embarrassing.

Commissioner considering Cayman franchise

Kind of nice here. Mrs. Commissioner and myself are both looking to get a little sun. She lathered up with a combination of SPF #30, 50 and 100 plus parkas, hats, etc. She still looks like Casper. On the other hand, I applied Hawaiian Tropic Ultra Gold Oil. So far, I’ve got much more color. The problem is I can’t wear clothes and my skin temperature is nearly the same as the surface of the sun.

Opening up at the Honda Classic

For 2023 - this is NOT an elevated PGA event and the expected field reflects that fact.

2023 FGL Draft in the books!

Well done by all. Great to see Kevin again. Adn he can’t blame Doug about his team this year. And thanks to the IT kids, we had Jim and Dave on the line (for most of the draft). Will be interesting to see what kind of team PAK hires!
It started at an incredible Shadowbox Saturday night with Mrs. Commissioner; off to the Chairman’s Room at TopGolf and then out to the golf bays.

FGL 2022 season in the books!

Monica needed a 1st and 2nd place finish to pull off a miracle finish. She came close. She got the 2nd place finisher but Don Henley couldn’t quite get the win, ending up in 5rh place. And thankfully, Aaron Wise finished top 20 for me to secure the win as your Commissioner takes home the coveted Tommy O award!

Doug - brilliant move losing two points in this tournament. It drops you behind Paul and improves your draft pick next year.

Team Laustin - so strong for so long. Appeared you’d win this year but I think your guys just ran out of gas as the season ended.

Dave - wow. What to say? At least you were tied for the lead before the season started!

So many top picks just did not produce much this year. And for Big J, Billy Horschel was his top scorer. Billy was picked up after the draft but before any tournament. Great trade but a bad omen when a trade is needed before the season even starts.

FGL managers will need to watch what happens with the LIV league - especially regarding Majors. I would think it would certainly impact the draft next year.

The 2023 FGL Draft Festival will likely take place on SUNDAY afternoon, February 19th.

FYI: Major winners:

Masters - Al
PGA - Jim
Memorial - J
US Open - Kevin
British - Commish

Nice win Al.....but.....

Tony Finau got the victory for Al at the 3M Open. Congrats Doctor. That win moved you up two spots on the FGL leaderboard. And it therefore also moved you two spots further back in next year’s Draft.

Monica got a nice 2nd place from Im to inch her way closer to the FGL lead.

Paul - could have been a big weekend for you. But you’re kind of cursed. Matsuyama (who you may recall getting DQd at the Memorial for having a spray on his 3 wood) shot a 9 on a hole by putting 3 SHOTS in the water Thursday. He then withdrew claiming that he was hurt. My guy tells me it was his feelings that were hurt.

Just two tournaments left. Rocket Mortage in Detroit followed by the Wyndham.

We're heading to Motown

Manager Golfers expected to play

Commish Cameron Young, Stewart Cink

Monica Don Russell Henley, Adam Hadwin

Laustin Gary Woodland, Doug Ghim

Jim Max Homa, Captain Kirk, Homer Simpson

Big J Mackenzie Hughes

Kevin Jason Day, Matt Kuchie Kuu

Paul Will Zalatoris, Doctor Redman

Doug Kevin Kisner

The Doctor Tony Finau, Adam Scott, Sepp Straka

B.T.O. Patrick Cantlay, Rickie Fowler, Emiliano Grillo

Wow - what a difference a week can make

Team Laustin lost its focus this week; likely due to new responsibilities involving diapers and bottles. -2 for the Cincinnati area franchise and a drop from 1st to 3rd place on your FGL leaderboard.

Doug and his arch-enemy Kevin are now separated by just 1 point with 3 tournaments remaining.

My Camerons came through. My #2 and #3 picks were strong the whole tournament and finished 1st and 2nd at St. Andrews. And Rory was within one stroke of giving me a second person in 2nd place. But when the dust settled, 42 points for your Commissioner and the FGL lead.
