Festivities will begin on Saturday, 2/19 at TopGolf at 5:00. While last year we held the draft remotely from my basement, the prior two years (2019 and 2020) we held the majestic FGL Draft at TopGolf. We will be heading back there again for this inaugural season.

If you been there before for the Draft, you know how it runs. Same set up. Same food. I think it’s even left over from 2020. Ceremonies. Open comments. The Draft. and then pretending to hit some balls.

“They” say the worst of this latest wave of infections will be behind us by 2/1. Of course, they’ve always been wrong but….. You will be required to wear a mask going in and out of TopGolf and if you wonder around the place. And in mid-February, it could be 20 degrees or 60. You just never know.

The PGA is co-sponsoring a European tournament so we’ll add it to our list. It’s the Scotish Open, the week before the traditional British Open (held at St. Andrews this year). Adding the Scotish Open will give us two tournaments the same weekend; those left behind trying to still qualify for The Open as well as a lot of Euros that usually play that tournament anyway. Could affect your strategy!

And finally, the biggest debated issue in the history of the FGL has been draft order. The only thing I’ve I think I’ve figured out is that it sometimes just doesn’t matter. This year is a great example. The Doctor had first pick for 2021………..and he still found himself in last place. The Doctor will pick first. BIg J goes last. The rest of us in the middle!

And yes Dave - you still only get $20!
