Front9Back9 Fantasy Golf Picks: Waste Management Phoenix Open
Alright folks, my fantasy golf picks have really been sucking lately. It's time to get this going in the right direction. Last week, I ended up with 243 points, good enough to actually fall in the league standings to 523rd place. The leader has 3,778 total points, while I only have 1,389. What does this mean? Well frankly I need all four of my players to win.!.!.!.! Okay so all four can't win, but I do need to at least try and pick the winner each week going forward so I can pick up the … [Read more...]
Front9Back9 Fantasy Golf Picks: Humana Challenge
The Hawaii swing is in the books and my man Jimmy Walker picked me up some decent points with my fantasy golf picks at the Sony Open last week. The Tour is back on the mainland now in Southern California where Patrick Reed is defending this week and Phil Mickelson is slimmer and ready for a better 2015. This year I am on a mission to bash Phil Mickelson every time I get, because frankly he pissed me off last year with his habit of quitting in the middle of rounds. Phil Mickelson is no … [Read more...]

Front9Back9 PGA Tour Fantasy Golf Picks: Sony Open in Hawaii
Well I had a decent week last week with my PGA Tour fantasy golf picks for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. I scored 455 points which was good for 5,254 place overall. The first place winners scored 1,090 points, so now that I think about it, maybe I did't have a decent week. Maybe it was more of a crappy week. Either way, it's time to move on from last week and pick it up this week Waialae Country Club in Honolulu for the Sony Open. It's the first full field event of 2015 and … [Read more...]
Front9Back9 Golf Picks: Hyundai Tournament of Champions
Finally. The 2015 PGA Tour season is kicking off tomorrow in Hawaii and it's time to get my golf picks for this year off to a good start. Two things here. First, I hate this wrap-around season bull-crap. I've bitched about it for the last two years and I'll continue to bitching about it until they change it back. Second, the whole "34 players in the field" is a little ridiculous. I mean just drop the "Tournament of Champions" from the title and call it the Hyundai Open or something like … [Read more...]
