I had my first real shot at some loot in DK golf this week. If Grace and Mitchell could have played better on Saturday I would have smashed.

At one point on Sunday I was in 10th in the $4 DK GPP.
In for 14 lineups/$56. Cashed 4 lineups for $101.
On the season, I have cashed 57/266 lineups, for a loss of $348.

I can't believe the difference between zero and hero in these events. My best lineup on the season was only good for $75, and it was GOOD.
669 points: Leishman, Grace, Walker, Mitchell, Tway, Garrigus.

Back at it again, lets see if I can make a push to the real money. One of my lineups is currently top 50 in the big $4 DK event.

Rose, Grillo, Hadley, Charley, Hadwin, and Conners.

As they say in poker: "One time!"

I am taking some time off. I've been drafting Best Ball drafts for the upcoming NFL season.

Surprised to see my usual guys doing well. Grillo, Conners, Huh, Poston, Tway, Tyrone, Mullinax, DeChambeau, Hadley, McNealy, etc.

I've been playing in a private DK "league" and I'm enjoying the **** out of it. What's the best way to ease into some low-roller public events?

Start off by watching the Pat Mayo Experience weekly DK golf show. Also, check out RickRunGood's weekly vid on Youtube. Both of these shows offer awesome insight for building lineups.

For easing in, start off with tournament with smaller fields. There are 1 v. 1 options, and tournies with 20 or 100 players. If you really want to hit a big one, DK has $3 and $4 large field events. With the minimal buy-in, you can get your experience and still have a big money sweat.

I strictly play the $4 or $5, large field DK GPP. I throw around 10 lineups per week into it.

I had a winning week again, but again, nothing major. First back to back winning weeks of the season, so I'm on a mini heater.

In for 11 entries/$44.
Cashed 8 entries/$132, and won $88. One heck of a cash rate.
On the season, cashed 65/277 entries, for a loss of $260.

Best team was 558 points: Rose, Grillo, Hadley, Hadwin, Hoffman, Conners.
This team was floating around the top of the $4 GPP but crashed late.

Second best team, which was also flirting with big bucks, had 552 points.
Fowler, Koepka, Na, Stricker, Tway, Perez.

Looks like a pretty stacked field for the Memorial next week. Let's go!

It always works out that way.

Where did everyone go in this thread? Let's not be deterred by some losses-it's hard to win in this game. The break-through is usually right ahead!

I'm in for 11 entries in the $5 DK GPP this week.

Most owned are: Streelman, Henrik, JT, Na, Leishman, List, Duf, Tway, Cantlay, Charley.

1 matchup bet...so far. Henrik over Tiger.

I'm still lurking. I've been cutting back on my golf lineups to focus on MLB. The fact I have been the king of 5/6 lineups this year is making that decision easier.

I would get absolutely demolished in MLB. I dabbled with NBA DK for a while and that's very hard too. I lose the least in golf, so i'll stick to that. Plus I love the 4 day sweat.

I'm annoyed. I'm in a season long league and my teams suck. That's not why I'm annoyed. I've been keeping an eye out for guys who I think are budding stars on the come.

Jason Dufner
Jeff Overton Injured, so cheap
Branden Grace Back and Doing Well
Ryan Ruffles Just went Pro (4/24)
Joaquin Niemann Just went Pro (4/24)
Shubhankar Sharma He Good
Abraham Ancer Gonna Break Out
Keith Mitchell Young Dude

All the guys I was looking to buy low on are going to be highly owned. Poop!

No. It's a salary cap roster with a maximum of 24 guys. Those were going to hopefully be my cheap low owned guys, but they're making a name for themselves now, and I don't like it.

For the first time this season, I didn't cash a single lineup. 0-11, and lost $55. Fun.

On the season I have cashed 65/288 entries, for a loss of $315.

Best team this week was 471 points: Cantlay, Finau, List, Henrik, JT, Na (MC)

On to the St. Jude!

I feel like this week is a total crap shoot, but I'm too much of a degen to take a week off from DK.

Between the early WD's and the players who will suck early and leave or MDF, it's a mess to predict.

In for 10 entires in the $4 DK event.

Most owned are List, Crane, Gay, Mitchell, Uihlein, Pan, Henrik, Tway, Hun-An, Phil.

So Yahoo now has daily fantasy golf. I put in one lineup to try it out.

No big contests, but also not a lot of "experts" selling lineups and ideas on how to play there.

I think the pricing was a bit soft.
My lineup has: DJ, Koepka, Stenson, Dahmen, Ancer and Niemann.

Niemann was min priced and is highly owned all over.

Lost again. In for $44, out for $15. Cashed 1/11 lineups.

On the season, I have cashed 66/299 lineups, for a loss of $354.

Best team was a 5/6 lineup, and if I had someone other than Tway, it would have had a shot.
483 points. DJ, Mullinax, Tway, Chez, Mitchell, Tway.

Maybe I can win some $ in the US Open next week! The payout for the Millimaker is criminal, and DK needs to flatten these payouts.

US Open time baby.

I have ZERO of the following, so the winning lineup may have a bunch of these guys:
Speith, Tiger, Sergio, Ricky, Phil, Noren, Webb, Finau.

I have the MOST of:
Rose, Casey, Mullinax, Koepka, Kuch, Fleetwood, List, Leishman, Rham, DJ.

18 entries (16 in the $4 DK event, 1 in the $3, and 1 $20 game with a few of my buddies)
In for $87. Lets's go.

Man what a terrible week I had. Entered 24 GPP's and I'll be lucky to cash 2, for the first time ever I had a line up where 0 players made the cut. So hard to know who is going to play well when there is so little course history with the field.
