To make a move on the FGL Leaderboard, you need 25 - 30 points at a Major. That didn’t happen. You also sometimes need the leader to have a bad week. That did happen. Four of Big J’s studs missed the cut as he managed to go backwards -2 points. Many FGL managers picked up around 16 points. Your Commissioner won the Major sidebet with 18 points but I needed lil Rickie or Scottie to come in 1st or 2nd.
Three Managers are within a point for 2nd place.
Two players went -8 on Thursday which led to some griping that the course was too easy. When the tournament was over, there were only two players that did better than -8. So maybe it wasn’t so easy. Complaints about blind shots, lack for a little strip of short rough before the heavy rough, drastically sloping fairways, limited fans on the course - so many complaints. That’s what makes this a US Open.
Happy birthday to Austin. And Team Jaustin is now in Columbus. Interesting that your Commissioner moved into our current house 30 years next week. Even so, I think Team Jaustin is more moved into their house than we are in ours.
Played O’Bannon Country Club Monday with FGL Manager Big J and former Manager Three Finger Tim.
We’re heading to CT for the Traveler’s. Must be an elevated event as a lot of FGL golfers are playing, even after just getting beat up in LA.
