With the PGA returning to Texas and the Colonial, FGL2020 begins again! Which means …………. you all need to look up who you had on your team!
Managers in the middle of your leaderboard did the best. Team Laustin brought in 11 points thanks to a 2nd place finish by Colin Morikawa. Your Commissioner scored 10 points thanks to Daniel HamBerger’s win. And B.T.O. ended up with 9 points thanks to three top 10 finishers. (and three missed cuts - all or nothing with his guys!)
Manager Paul kept a strong hold on his lead with 6 points for the week. His third round pick of Sungjae Im has the league leading most points at 19.
Rough week for Monica. Three of her boys missed the cut and she ended up -1 and finds herself in the basement. Must mean only better times are ahead.

Preparing for our happy hour with the Boys and a little golf action below too
June tournaments will be played without fans.
Memorial gets moved to July to the British Open spot. Will hopefully have spectators. Also an expanded field of 144.
The Heritage at Harbour Town - one of my favorites - is back on the schedule for July!
Adjusted schedule under the tournament tab. Three under our belt Still 12 more to go including 4 Majors.

PGA and FGL announce adjusted season
AS OF NOW ……. we will end out season with 3 our of our last 4 tournaments being Majors. That could make things exciting! We will start to wrap things up with the PGA Championship back near the end of the season, like it once was. We’ll have our traditional Wyndham Championship and then take a break for the FedEx Championship stuff. US Open then in September with The Master’s in November.
The British Open Championship has been canceled. So for those of you in the Major sidebets, that’s $5 in your pocket. Congratulations! Also - I anticipate that the Memorial tournament will get pushed back to the open spot in early August when the Olympics were originally scheduled. Just my hunch. I’ve not been able to log into any of the PGA conference calls. I’m sure it’s just a technical glitch.
I also suspect that the remaining May tournaments will be canceled. We will somehow make it all work!
Welcome to Chatham!
PGA continues to cancel tournaments. We’re now “closed” thru the Byron Nelson 5/7 - 5/10. The Master’s and the PGA Championship are hoped to be rescheduled later this year. But I’m sure more will change.
I really did. Published a huge statement but with everything going on, must have got missed by the major wire services.
THE FGL CONTINUES ON! Unlike every sport which has canceled or delayed their season, the FGL has not missed a step. “I feel like we’ve got the strongest managers in the country. COVID Corona Whatever doesn’t stand a chance against our 10 franchises.” - according to the Commissioner’s Office.
Meanwhile, the PGA has canceled the next several tournaments. Whenever their season does resume, please know that there will NOT be an asterisk on the 2020 Tommy O Award - if I win.
Matsuyama tied a course record with a 63 on the opening day of the Players. -9 and clearly going to go on to win the tournament for your Commissioner. I’m digging through 20 years of by-laws, old text books, the kid’s kindergarten drawings, anything, to find some possible way to claim points for this opening round. So far - no luck.
What are the odds of someone’s pancreas getting fired up a week before an all expense paid trip to the Master’s? What are the odd’s of a worldwide pandemic hitting weeks before the Master’s causing someone to miss such an all-expense paid trip? And then, what are the odds of both things happening in back to back years to that same someone? I can assure you - the odds are 100%!
