Welcome to the last tourney before the fall swing. We are at Eastlake for the FedEx championship. Personally I feel this is a corporate sponsorship ad being passed on to us as an “incredible race to the finish.” Granted, FedEx does some wonderful charity work (St. Jude children’s cancer research) but all year long we hear how the players have only one thing on their minds- to win the FedEx cup. (Cue FedEx commercial) As far as the PGA set up–someone with 450 million might win another 25 million, it seems a little anti climatic. The true value is we can all make money on this tourney. With only 30 golfers you will need the winner, at least 4 of the top 5 to score the heavy cash and all in the top 10 to go for the ultimate lineup. The FedEx Ownership Projections help you reach your goals.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND. This used to be a bombers course. Not anymore. 8 holes have water hazards and 4 new bunkers have been placed in unpleasant areas. The greens look incredibly grainy. The scorching heat will add more speed to the greens where only a lob wedge will hold the greens at present. Remember this-there will be lots of missed putts from 5 feet or less on these surfaces. The players have been shaking their heads about the “grow in” which hasn’t grown in yet. Approach and putting will win this tourney. Since 44-46 % of the approach shots will be from 200 yards or more, it will be interesting to see how this elite group deals with it and also the Bermuda rough. It’s exactly that. Very rough. There is a plus to the fact a par 5 has been added but that’s one hole. With that in mind we feel the following have the best tools to win it all in Bobby Jones backyard. We like Scottie, Xander, Hovland, Fleetwood, IM, Burns Henley, Pendrith, Hoge and Rai—-More will be added/deleted once ownership comes out.

***** Parting Shots *****
After this upcoming weekend I’ll be taking my misses to her favorite resort for some R&R. This allows me the” kitchen pass” to stay holed up in my dungeon/ laboratory for the next four months straight for NFL and PGA. I’m then flying out to Palo Alto to see my golf crew, work on some IT and run beta testing for the fall season. I’ll be back with Biscuits in FRL sauce with a nice outright glaze.
A man and his wife decide to spend their 50th anniversary in Russia. They always loved stories about the revolution and the architecture. As they were walking across Red Square (winter was coming) they felt a few drops hit them as they stopped to check on what it was. ‘Ah, snow” said Gladys. “No, it’s rain” said Fred. “Snow!” said Gladys, “it’s just melting when it hits the ground because it isn’t cold enough yet.” “It’s our anniversary dear, we shouldn’t be arguing” Fred replied.” ‘Let’s go ask that local what he thinks.” They walk up to a burly man wearing a large furry hat, and in their best Russian ask, “Excuse us sir, this is our first visit to your wonderful city and we were wondering if this is snow or rain?” The man smiled broadly at them and said, “Good morning- and welcome to Moscow!” (in very thick Russian English) “My name is Rudolph and I am lifelong Muscovite”. “I can tell you for 100 % that it is rain!” They thanked him and continued across the square. Fred turned to Gladys and said, “You will have to concede Gladys,”
“Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!”
As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock!
