Bubba's too feast or famine for me. He seems to either win or be a complete non-factor, and usually you know Thursday which way it's going to go for him. All it takes is 1 shot for him to lose his shit and have the wheels fall off. 3 global wins in 2014 though with a major and WGC is pretty impressive though.
 
I think he scored something absurd like 50% of my team's points last year.  Was a great second round pick up ...

With enough notice I would absolutely be in. 
 
I'd even volunteer to try and set this up at my course except I don't get the sense that the location (North Salem, NY) is central to where most live.

Hey, if it's a location that works for a lot of folks I'm happy to do this.  So we'll see what others say and then I'll have a word with the GM to see how much he would undress me for having a big group at the club.

I had 3 guys lined up for my pick - all 3 are available and I have really talked myself into being confident in one of them. I am also confident he will probably be taken by Lupe.

I've been thinking about taking a year off from my club this year for various reasons, but if not, I'd be happy to host you all at Andover CC in Andover, MA.   Will probably know by March whether I decide to pull the trigger or not, but if I do, it's not a problem at all to set up a function with 4-5 foursomes pretty much any time during the week, except for Mondays, and mornings before 10.

To add to the hosting options - I don't think I could have 20 but anytime people are looking for a game I will have an under 35 membership at Bass Rocks in Gloucester and would love to have some of you out.

I'd drive to Gloucester too......I have 3 guys that I am aiming for too with three picks to go but would be happy with my 4th or 5th guy for an 11th pick

Yes, I would gladly play in Gloucester too. I finally got in the 80's, but apparently I only play that well when its 35 degrees on the course on a really short course. But hey, I'll take it.
 
I hate where I am drafting.

Glad to see some people in the area to come up to Gloucester. I grew up working at Bass Rocks and have had a membership off and on for the past 7 years. We will figure out dates later in the season, but for now we can just continue to wait to draft...

Lupe hasn't been on since yesterday, and he hasn't read the PM I sent him.  I'm gonna make a commish ruling and say if the 24 hours pass we're going to give him more time to pick since a few people have already posted they didn't realize the draft started.

Completely fair - we will get it done in time, once everyone is aware of the draft. It has always run smoothly in the past.

Also I would definitely be in for a golf outing during the summer.  Not sure if my club could host or not but will look into it.
 
I think Dave Stapleton and I are the only two people to never win anything from this right?  I'm not gonna put much thought into my team this year and just go with gut feelings.  Fuck it.

yeah, the draft start definitely surprised me so i think it's totally fair to give a little more time if he hasn't even logged in.

I'm a crappy golfer since I don't get to play as much as I'd like, but depending on logistics, I'd be in for an outing or two.

(I'm not part of the draft thing other than a spectator but I'm with cshea on this. I'm not nearly as good as most of you guys but I don't really embarrass myself and I'm always up for a round (either as a group or a random 4some). The RMPS outing we do every year is a highlight of the summer.)

And there goes the guy I was hoping to get - great pick last 10 tournaments 10 top 25's, 8 top 10's and 5 top 5's - also fun to root for.

I mean, HOW do you pick Jason Day or Matt Kuchar or Justin Rose over Fowler? I'm saying it right now, those are three picks that will be filled with a lot of regret.

This is absurd. I'll defend Kuchar because it's easy -- he's made 20+ cuts and 8-10 top tens for like 5 years running. Maybe he implodes or Fowler turns into Rory, but it's not hard to see why fowler is where he is

Thought the hatred of him might make Reed fall to me.   On the other hand he was torture to root for last year

It's really hard to project the young guys (Day, Reed, Spieth, Fowler, etc). Can Fowler take the next step? As good a season as Fowler had a year ago, he still only has 1 career win. His work with Butch has done wonders, but the year he had last year in Major's likely isn't repeatable. 
 
Rose and Kuchar are about as steady as they come. Kuchar has 6 wins in his last 6 years, Rose 6 wins in 5 years with a Major to boot. That's about as consistent as you'll find on the tour. They are good picks. Folwer/Reed/Day/Spieth are as well but they probably have a higher bust probability than Kooch and Rose.
