Vaughn Taylor

For those of you who picked Vaughn Taylor this year (like me), he got a double bogey on the last hole to miss the cut!!!  He’s already on my possible trade list.

Et tu, David?

Toms tied for 2nd round lead… with Mark Wilson.  Looks like another stellar week for short picks.

Can a short pick win 2 weeks in a row?

One of Lisa’s short picks, Brendon de Jonge, is currently tied for 3rd place at the Sony!  She’s baaaaaaaaaaaack.

Has a short pick ever won in the first week?

Shane may have a first for the FPGP.   Worst start of a short pick after 4 days into the FPGP season.

PAUL CASEY OUT TWO MONTHS

Well, f you very much Mr. Casey.  When the hell are these idiots going to realize they are not athletes, and they should just sit in a bubble in the off-season?  This is what I get for laughing at Lucas Glover hurting himself in the ocean.  Unfortunately, that injury was not a shark attack.

Casey out for two months

After battling a rib injury and turf toe over much of the last two seasons, a finally healthy Paul Casey was looking forward to a fast start in 2012.

His season’s debut has been delayed, though, after Casey dislocated his right shoulder in a snowboarding accident. According to the Associated Press, the Englishman will miss the first two months of the year.

As a result, Casey will miss the European Tour’s Middle East swing – including the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship where he is a two-time champion. His participation in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship – where Casey has two runner-up finishes in the last three years – could also be in doubt. The tournament is scheduled for the last week in February.

Casey closed the 2011 campaign out on a strong note with top-10 finishes in two of his last three PGA TOUR starts, as well as solo third at the Chevron World Challenge. He won twice last year at the Volvo Golf Champions on the European Tour and the Shinhan Donghae Open in Korea.

The late start to the season could also throw a wrench into Casey’s bid to make the European Ryder Cup team for the biennial matches in September at Medinah Country Club. He was ranked among the top 10 in the world two years ago but didn’t get one of Colin Montgomerie’s Captain’s Picks after failing to qualify automatically.

Here are your 2012 FPGP rosters… good luck everyone.

PayPal

I’m making a “proclamation” two months ahead of our new season, so that everyone has time to figure this out. It’s time to join the 21st century. Next year, I’m no longer suggesting that people use PayPal to send me funds for FPGP… think of it more like a requirement, because all prizes will be awarded via PayPal… so, if you don’t get an account to send me the money, you’re going to need one to receive your winnings. It’s a righteous pain in the ass writing some checks, doing some PayPal, etc., so I’m done with it. I will make sure to bold face highlight this in next season’s rules, and also hit you guys over the head with it again so that everyone is on the same page.
