...or maybe not. (Not a single birdie from Langer today; I'd have been much better off if he'd started the day 5 or 6 back, I think.)
It's hard to prove a counterfactual, but I think I might have enjoyed this year's Masters much more had I not been involved in our league. And that has little to do with my amazing fade from first into third place today; I just feel like rooting against most of the field and for my gang of six goes against how I normally enjoy watching golf tournaments. Maybe fantasy sports just aren't for me - I was in SoSH's English Premier League fantasy competition a few years ago and dropped out of that for similar reasons. (Actually, sports in which the fantasy experience leads you into rooting for micro-transactions that have little to do with the sporting competition itself are rather worse than golf for me; at least this league leads you to root for stuff that actually matters in determining the outcome of the competition, rather than being pissed the wrong guy scored the touchdown/run/goal/etc.)
Anyway, I'll keep playing in the league until my initial £50 deposit has disappeared, but I really don't know if I'll renew at that point. (Just to be perfectly open and transparent about this.) I am curious, though, to ask those of you with much more experience of fantasy golf - and specifically DraftKings competitions - whether my impression that this was a particularly fluctuating competition is correct. It really felt to me like the standings were changing every hour, let alone every round.
