Title: Hey Golf Fans!!
Description: ...I need your help
Jillie - May 15, 2008 06:59 PM (GMT)
I work for the local paper and we are sponsoring a golf draft. We are also having a version thereof for the staff. It's free for staff to enter and there are rumoured to be some wicked prizes. So I thought I'd enter. The only problem is I know nothing about golf. I was hoping someone here does and can tell me who to pick! I have to have my picks in by the 30th.
I have to pick one person from each group. For each $1000 earned by the players I choose, I will receive one Fantasy Golf Challenge dollar towards my final team total.
Please help me out if you can!
Thanks!

Sorry I'm not much help, but I'd pick Rory Sabbatini and Kevin Sutherland in their respective groups.
That Tiger guy might be a solid pick, as well...
"Charles Howell III"?!Wow, the Howells must've gotten off that island!!

I was unsure of some of the guys in groups 12, 13, and 15. The rest I would be pretty confident with. Also, not knowing if a player can be drafted by more than one person, I tried to pick some that aren't so obvious. Tiger is the exception. Whoever gets him will probably win.

You didn't pick Sergio in group 5? How very un-ESPN of you
Jillie - May 16, 2008 06:11 PM (GMT)
Haha. Sean O'Hair. Who knew he golfed!? Also, I think I'm goign to pick Dudley Hart for the sheer irony of it all. I like how they put ALL the golfers I knew and would pick in one group (Tiger, Vijay, Ernie).
Thanks! Keep the picks coming! I'll take the ones that you guys all sort of agree on!

Just thought I'd update you on my standings. I'm 17th out of 28 right now on this pool. But I'm beating all my bosses, and that's what's really important in life...:D
Jillie - July 10, 2008 06:14 PM (GMT)
I'm in 12th now! Woo! Climbing up the ladder!
