A strong captain choice can make a big difference. Thanks Rory!

Nice win this week Frosty! Rory was unstoppable in the last, yep captain choices will make a big difference this season.
Was sorry to see Vicwood didn't get his picks in in time. Hopefully he'll be there next week.

Yeah so much for email alerts, I've been making my picks early and then getting back on a day or 2 later to see if they're withdrawn.

Pretty ordinary start from me....a few of my guys were looking real good in the early part of the round too.

Not too bad though 16 points and even par, Scottie not much better.
Could be a tricky even having 4 by the weekend this week...depending on the weather.

Can easily catch up with a Captain score or two, you guys all chose Mcilroy this week, I'm the only one who chose Scheffler.
Hoping that works out for me, the C score definitely makes a difference this year.

Got an email suggesting the status of one of my on field players had changed. Go to the app and everything seemed fine, with no MC or or WDs. Very confused.

Best thing to do after round 2 is go to the PGA Tour page Frosty and check the leaderboards for the cutline.
+4 made it in, +5 missed cut.

Yeah checked that. 5 comfortably within that. Was worried that there was a WD that I was missing, but nothing appeared obvious. Seemed like a glitch in the system. Got the same email after Rd 3 as well, again looks questionable.

Happy with my result this week, significantly improved my position in the other 4 leagues I'm in besides SCS...especially Australian league which has 544 members, I cracked into the top 10.
Would've been great to have had the C on Ludvig but I'm not complaining.
Apparently talks are in the works for all the top players to be playing together again, that'd be very welcome for me, LIV Golf has really screwed all that up with it's money grabbing tactics, can't blame the guys that went there for taking the big bucks to play in it...but how much money do they really need? PGA Tour players are mostly all automatically rich as long as they don't lose their cards.
I guess the guys who decided to go to LIV and their respective 100 to 200 million dollar payouts just couldn't resist the easy dough, and the less hours of time and commitment the PGA Tour requires.
Hopefully, there's some way soon, that the two can come back together again so we can see all the best players in the world, playing together again.

While I'd agree PGA tour top liners should be doing well, it costs a lot as well, and it's a pretty precarious existence. All it takes is an injury and the tap is turned off on income. Having that guaranteed money, I couldn't blame them. Also, so many of the Liv players are non US, which is not a surprise, but the way the US treated the rest of the world by crushing other tours, and forcing the PGA players to basically have to be playing for 48 weeks a year. Again it's not a surprise that players who were from the other side of the world might have seen the Liv money as worth it.

It will be good to have the best players playing., but if it's just like it was then that will be disappointing. Hopefully we can get some sort of world element that gets a couple of Aus tournaments that are meaningful..
