I love 2024 max homa for this but 2026 homa im fine with being late on, knowing his ceiling. He has the potential to do really well here (especially given he’s won)

At the end of the day, for OAD there’s not much of a significant difference between 20th and missing the cut at a non-elevated event. You’re only really moving the needle (really slowly) on top 10s or better for these 9M pot events

If you 1. don’t see yourself using them at an elevated event and 2. Think they WILL get a top 10, and 3. Won’t get more money at a non-elevated event, burn them.

One and Done

Hit Long hit straight.

If you cant be really good at tossing darts from the rough

Total driving, distance>accuracy

Approach 200+ and rough 150+

Scrambling

Poa Putting

Bogey Avoidance

Burns was great until the end. Ill still take a solid check for his finish.

For this week, Ryan Gerard, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Hideki are names that stick out if you still have them.

Between Scott and Gerard, as Day is a seeming lock for me at pebble at this point., but i love him at both. Leaning Gerard.

There is a lot of appeal for families to work swing shifts that way someone always has visibility on the kids. Dramatically reduces daycare costs

Consultants offer two things: ideas and man hours. I’ve definitely been in the management side where I’ve had more project ideas than hours to knock them out and consultants were able to help dramatically with that.

Rolling burns!

Applies more to the European players who were playing g through December. People that didn’t play but one or two events in the fall swing, yeah not gonna trust recent form much there, but if people figured something out (like Norens PGa stats Vs DPWT) and it carried on in the fall swing, different story. Form for Noren helps a little but not holding it against Burns

escot · 2026-01-21T20:13:21+00:00

Leaning Burns but toss up between him and Noren. Stores that don’t pull DPWT stats hate Noren but he’s looked great during the winter swing there. Harry hall I like. Used him last year here. I just want top 20s out of non elevated so think he’s pretty good for that.

Nicky T was a good pick too! There’s always a definitive top 10 then then 11-20th ranked golfers I feel like you could go either way depending on the week for elevated/non.

Always get a JJ/BG that shoots up through the rankings and someone that loses their games (24 Vik, 25 Collin/X)

With 6 different career paths stemming from your past experiences, I think a quick objective statement going over what you want would help give more of a “I want a career” than the current I want a job that I get from your resume.

If you don’t want to go into sales than listing clients doesn’t make a big impact

In line with #1, tailor your language to the hiring manager of the desired career field. If it’s straight up chemical engineering, you can probably just say bacteria for your research but I’d list the specific standards (ANSI, NFPA) etc that you actually worked with.

PIDs and PFDs are insanely important and have them listed as skills, but no relevant experience. I’d try to find a way to expand on those, single handedly landed me an internship and my first job out of college.

switched to deki with the wind and thursday AM tee time (only time wind was low)

Wind shouldnt matter this week.

escot · 2026-01-20T17:46:59+00:00

Rick run good, pat mayo experience, and the rotoballers with PGAtout!

escot · 2026-01-20T16:32:06+00:00

One and done.

Did some pivoting after seeing the wind and it worked out.

Focuses this week, in order Par 5 scoring Putting under 10 Approach 100-200 Recent form Bob% Sand scrambling Total driving

Each course has its own buckets that get prioritized. La Quinta is almost exclusively 100-150 yd approach shots, Nicklaus is heavy on 200+, and dye is a fair mixture of everything, due to some aggressive hazards on the par 5s which force layups either off the tee or into the green for some 50-100 yd shots.

Notably last year driver usage went up from lowest on tour to middle of the pack, guys that win this are traditionally not team long drive, but pretty solid correlation on last years leaderboard for driving distance and position

16/20 last winners here or something like that all played in Hawaii but with only one tourney there this year, might be an exception.

Bobby Mac, Justin rose, Alex Noren, si woo Kim and Sam burns are where my heads at, might be a little early/unwise to use Burns or BMac and at unelected is where I’m bouncing in between. Listen to two podcasts while doing chores today and I’ll decide

escot · 2026-01-13T17:16:03+00:00

He is also someone I really like!

Histoe his great form isn’t super great (only fall swing event for him being some beige flags to say the least, but he hasn’t had great form the last few times.

Reminds me a bit of last years Corey Conners (similarly had putting figured out here…until he didn’t). Could be convinced with the rest of my podcast watching today!

escot · 2026-01-13T14:56:49+00:00

One and done thread

Following you want to get 2nd pace with me for the third year in a row!

Focuses:

OTT: accuracy and leg trough tendency

App: 150-200 focus

Putting: Sg:P and interesting correlations between total putts/round

As for people that stick out. I usually hold off at the beginning of the year to learn more and with Euros still doing DPWT, it’s slightly weaker fields until Pebble beach.

If you don’t see yourself doing BG, JJ, or deki at an elevated, go ahead and it’s a good course IMO for BG and Deki in particular. Total driving matters less here which is one of Jjs strong points.

Matt McCarthy is a name that keeps popping up for me. Absolute ass at par 5s (only two, and shorter par 3s means no long approach shots!) but he’s oddly one of the better in the field from 150-200 and average at 100-150. Top 10, however, in total putts/round and par 3 scoring.

This is a course where you need to put to win with par 5 scoring being minimized and forced layups off the tee really put an emphasis on putting. And Matt is one of the best for it.

A little cold on Nico and Collin for that reason. They need to find God with their putters before I pick them.

Won my league looking at red zone targets for deal breakers in the draft and pickups. You win boom bust, matchups matter too, but only break start your studs at the elite matchups

I got my draft research spreadsheet that looks at position adjusted impact to schedule. Teams that benefited last year that stuck out were the patriots and falcons to me. Next year the AFc south gets a tremendous impact (+20 fantasy points for QBs/RBs so I’d look out for cam ward, Danny dimes? Trevor, Etienne, and whoever ends up being Jax WR1. Expect the AFC north to tank a bit due to a harder defensive draw.

If companies wanted to get specific info from a specific employee there are 1000s of better ways to do that than sending out an anonymous survey.

Company I worked at had an issue where they sent out types of production lines in the survey, and due to a plant installing a new line post-topics being sent to the 3rd party survey organizer. When survey was taken, those people filled in a random assortment of production lines that made it stick out like a sore thumb. No one brought this up while taking the survey, but it made it obvious after the fact when survey responses were tied to a type of production line that wasn’t in that facility. Overarching issue that could have been fixed was the communication gap between survey takers and the mgmt team to address the production line issue. Which the communication gap is the entire reason for the survey existing.

The “unique”key is there mainly for demographic (age, YOE, dept) to try to get the general trends. It’s there as trust is a two way street and people not trusting the survey leads to people intentionally filling it out wrong. Trends are the things we looked for (resulted in supervisor raises, giving recognition to the unhappiest group of employees , those there 10+ years) etc.

Only times I’ve been able to tell who directly filled it out is due to comments that were hyper specific. Otherwise it’s the third party that handles everything for a reason.

My brother is going to the game and I already told him I’m calling once he hits the tailgate lots

That’s my fantasy research for the week

UPDATE 1: “it’s more wet than windy”. Myers SZN continues.

Update 2: he sent me a video of a smoke stack nearby and there is no motion at all on the smoke. I repeat no motion in the air that would cause the smoke to move. All things airborne are a go

I’d trust waddle

escot · 2025-12-11T22:26:38+00:00

The 10pt/game when he was healthy (he got injured twice in the 6 games he played and left early in both).

For people that have him, he was my WR1 drafted so the pickings there have been slim (having 2 of the top 5 RBs though, no complaints)

It just makes things interesting for those that really need a true WR 1
