Yo yo yo, what’s going on? Sorry for the delay. I forgot to update a few things. So, I appreciate all you guys’ patience waiting. Just a reminder for those watching this on replay, this is a live video. So therefore, I’ll be talking to my chat. And I see Joanne is in the chat. AJ’s in the chat. What’s going on, YouTube? Um, again, sorry for the delay. There were a lot of updates that I forgot to make. Uh, it was a busy weekend for me. I had a a trip up north and didn’t really get to update much Sunday night and didn’t really get to update much Monday. So, here we are. We’re here 10 minutes late. We’re good. We’re good. Um, but yeah, I forgot to post on on X that I was going live. Let me throw some things up before we get into this video. If you didn’t already know, uh, I usually go over the course and tournament information, past optimal, and GP wing lineups. I like to go over last week’s tournament just to show you how well the sweet spot process did with like the bucket system and the marquee t times because that’s what then I talk about for this week’s tournament, which I obviously will be doing. So, we’ll go over all of that stuff like we normally do. I do build lineups at the end of the video. So, everyone that’s in chat, um, they can participate and ask for lineups to be built around the sweet spot process. So, that’s what I will be doing as well. Uh, here, let me throw something on the screen that I’m kind of excited to show you guys about. And while I say that, I got to sneeze. So, well, yep. All right, here. Uh, I kind of spent a little bit of today instead of updating my data, I was updating my um, basically what’s going to be looking into the the website. So, I was telling you guys how I’m trying to create filters for everything. Uh, here what you can find is, let me get this here. So, I’ve been working on different filters. I’m sure most of you guys are familiar with this screen right here. Pass optimal and GPP winner uh winning lineups. I’ll I’ll push this down. It’s a little tricky to see on your guys’ end because of how PowerBI makes everything really small. Um but what you guys are mostly familiar with would be this over here. So this is what the page looks like currently. If you go to the website and you go under pass optimal and GPUing lineups, actually here I’ll show you. Here’s what it looks like on the website sweetspotdfs.com. So you guys can go ahead and play around with this if you are members. So basically that’s what this page is right here. I’ve been I’ve been working to update it. So you can see all the way over there to the left I have all of these different buttons. And the buttons are actually filters. So you guys will be able to use this pretty darn soon. I’m almost finished with it. Now, I’m going to be adding this pane on every single report that I have. And just to show you guys what that looks like, if you were to go and click on grass stats, here’s what grass stats will pop up. So, you we have all these filters. Golf course, is it overseed? Fairway grass, like you can go in here and check all the grasses that you want. This is specific grass strains. Underneath we have tearass. So if you want to check to see, you know, this week at the FedEx St. Jude, it’s Bermuda. So you go and click on Bermuda, hide the uh the panel, and only Bermuda golf courses will show up. So we have the Windom Championship, Charles Schwab Championship, Zurich. So you’ll be able to do a lot of this stuff pretty darn soon. And I get it’s the end of the golf season, which kind of sucks because I’m making all these updates probably towards the tail end, if not into the fall season. But the exciting news is next year when the PGA season is brand new. Um, this will be ripping and roaring to go for you guys to use. So yeah, I’ve got grass stats. That’s one of them. Like obviously I had said, um, hold on. There we go. uh you know if you just select Bermuda then obviously all those things show up but then I also have course stats. So you choose the golf course or the facility. How about the architect? You obviously hear me talk about every time during the golf course and tournament information section like choosing the architect. So we’ll be able to filter down by architect. How about the renovation architect? The state. I’m probably going to have region in here somewhere but currently it’s it’s the state. soil conditions. This is a weird uh filter, but I’m including it because I want to I want to provide everything. You guys want to just, you know, drill down on all the different types of things because uh when we go over the golf course and tournament information, I give you what the soil conditions are on the co golf course stats page. Par 70, par 71, 72, 73, total yards, the stimp on the greens, are they fast greens? You’ll be able to modify that here. Green size average, total bunkers, water hazards. Then I’ll have shot shape section here. Off the tea draws, off the tea, fades, approach draws, approach fades. You’ll be able to use all of those filters. Then I’ve got tournament stats. What type of field type is it? What is the field size? The event type, alternate, is it an alternate field event type? A major, playoff, Olympics, match play, regular signature team. Who are the golfer’s opponents? You’ll be able to filter down by that. So, if you have a golfer that you like. So, you would choose Oh, I do have to put a golfer uh filter on there. I’m glad I just reminded myself some of the some of the tools already have golfers on it. Not this tool. This tool I’m going to have to add a golfer to it. So, anyways, you know, we’ll have you’ll have all of these stats. What was there? What you know if a golfer shot a 65 you could put in round one in round one you’ll be able to put as round one score there round two score round three score round four score you’ll be able to filter down by that how about the winning score the cut score look at all the events where the cut score was somewhere between minus4 to -6 you’ll be able to put those filters in and this will apply to all of the tools you see because I’m adding all of these filters to every single page and then I’ve got the fantasy stats hats filter. I think I’m going to have two more filters here. I just haven’t figured out what it is. But I also have historic lineup filters down here. You can use a a quick selection of of whatever the salary used was. I have it going all the way down to 49,000. Those are just your quick selections. I’m not going to go uh any crazier than that. So, I’m really excited. Like I was I was actually working on this when I probably should have been working on adding, you know, uh things to the or uh things to the cheat sheet because I’m like I was just in a zone. I’m going to get this stuff done. Uh this was the the last filter that I needed to use. But yeah, you’ll be able to drill down on each of these buttons and they’ll pop up a new filter and then you can just drill down on what you find important for you. So super excited to share this with you guys. This um then the next step is really adding it to each page because if I go through each of the pages obviously like I said this is the page you currently see. You know if you were to go to the website this is what you see. So, I’ll have to make that update and then I’ll have to add those those filters to this page as well as all of the other pages, all the other tools that I have on the website because currently you don’t have those filters. So, yeah, super excited. I wanted to share that with you because that’s what kind of pulled me away from updating uh all of the spreadsheet stuff that I do provide you guys. Um yeah, that is those are the updates that I have. Uh let’s go ahead and bring this up. Remember, there are giveaways that I do. $5 weekly giveaway and monthly giveaway, which we’re doing today. This is the first Tuesday of the new month. So, we will be doing uh a monthly giveaway, and it’s just a membership atdfs.com. If we can ever reach the goal, which I guess we’re at 8.65 65 instead of 864. That’s one thing I forgot to update. That I forgot to update. I forgot to update the uh um a new subscriber. So, we have 6ix9ine in there once again. Um but yeah, I’ll I’ll make those updates here shortly. For those that are in the chat right now, very interested as to how you guys feel about doing a membersonly video right after this video. Do you guys like that or do you like Wednesday membersonly videos? And and if anyone out there is like, “What is a membersonly video?” It’s it’s only YouTube members who are white tier status and above. So the red tier status uh individuals do not get access to the members only and then anyone who’s just watching for free doesn’t get um access to those videos. So for the members, do you care if it’s on a Wednesday? Do you like it on Tuesdays? Um, in all reality, I don’t really add anything other than what I might have learned, you know, Wednesday during the day, but I will be I’ll be um transparent with you guys right now. I took on a project at work that it like takes all my time, so I don’t really get to watch or listen to much fantasy uh anything anyone else does on Wednesdays. So, like last week and the week before, you wouldn’t have got anything new from me or I wouldn’t have been able to learn anything new. So, really interested in what you guys have to say if you guys much rather have the um the membersonly video out sooner than Wednesday night because then I would be like 8 or 900 p.m. Central Standard Time is when I do those. So, let me know in the chat. I’m I’m very curious what uh what you guys prefer. Okay, so weekly giveaway, like I said, and monthly giveaway. I have both of those going on. Uh, let me actually try to hurry up and squeeze in a tweet. I see that uh John says, “Whatever works best for me.” Okay, sounds good. How is everybody putting in St. Jude? Figured I’ I’d be able to figure out the hashtag Okay, there you go. Got it all set. Joanne says, “Tomorrow night, it’s whatever you like to do. I look forward to Wednesday nights because I don’t have a life.” whatever your energy needs, whatever works best for your schedule. I think I’ll do it tomorrow night because I’m not really prepared to do a membersonly video tonight. So, yeah, we’ll we’ll do it tomorrow night. Joanne Joanne said tomorrow night and everyone’s else says whatever you whatever you need. So, that’s fine. Appreciate you all. Thanks for the uh the input. Okay, let’s go ahead and run both of these giveaways. The first one is the weekly giveaway. We have 14 total entries. Let me zoom in a little bit. 14 total entries. I’m going to do that drum roll right now. Joanne, congrats. That’s That’s two weeks in a row for Joanne. Way to go, Joanne. Congratulations. Let’s see if that can apply for the monthly giveaway. We have the John Deere Classic uh entries in there. The Genesis Scottish Open, the Open Championship. There were what, five weekends in July? Is that why we have all these tournaments? The 3M Open as well as the Windom Championship. All of those entries are in the monthly subscriber giveaway. Here we go. Tim Tulos, what’s going on, Tim? Congrats, man. You got it from the John Deere Classic. Strategy roll call number two. We have Joanne with the weekly and Tim with the monthly. Congrats you two. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. How about this? I’m going to change it up for those in the chat right now. Um, who’s your winner this week? Let’s Let’s do a roll call right now. Let’s do the roll call right now. Who’s your winner? Joanne says, “Bank it.” Of course. Joanne, out of curiosity, where you at? Do you remember? Scotty by seven. I’m right there with you, man. That Oh, that was a good one. That made me That made me laugh. Love it. I don’t think he’s going to win by seven, but I think this is going to be like a Dustin Johnson win for Scotty. You have three. Is that three uh weekly giveaways, Joanne? Or do you have a monthly giveaway in there? Did I spell your name wrong in that monthly giveaway or that weekly giveaway? I don’t remember. I if I whatever for whatever reason, I remember putting two S’s in there. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn’t. I hope I didn’t. I’m sorry if I spelled your name wrong. Mr. Anderson. [Music] Cool. Three weeklys. Cool. All right, Joanne. All right. Um, if anyone else adds, I guess I’ll just go ahead and do that. Hey, by the way, uh, for those wondering, also, I’m still doing the sweetspotfs.com giveaway. Once I reach a th00and subscribers on this channel, I’m giving away $1,000. To get an entry into this giveaway, go sign up on sweetspotdfs.com. Create a free account. You don’t have to put anything, no money, nothing towards it. Just go ahead and and and choose the free members. um the free membership option. I Words are hard sometimes. All right, Pat, I see you in the in the chat. I’m adding you to the roll call. All right, well, let’s go ahead and get let’s just dive right into the golf course and tournament information. FedEx St. Championship first playoff event golf course TPC Southwind. I am on sweetspotdfs.com taking a look at the golf course stats page. It’s under fantasy tools golf course stats. I just showed you a little bit of an update of all the filters that I’m I’m making to uh the website behind the scenes. Basically, what you’ll end up doing is come right to this page first. Check everything out and then go and add all the filters that you need. One thing I noticed that I thought I had in here were the uh soil conditions. I don’t have that, but I can add that. I can add that pretty easy. Um anyways, look at this turf grass. Zoya grass fairway zoya bermuda rough Bermuda greens. pretty small screen sizes by the way. Uh again, these will be these will all be filters that I will be providing in the future. I’m sorry I don’t have them right now, but the main thing for me is Bermuda. I am using uh uh course history stats. And if you didn’t know, if you go to sweetspotdfs.com, go under fantasy tools, check cheat sheet, click on that cheat sheet, you will see uh this page show up. This is kind of the new page that I started and didn’t quite finish, but it will. I will this will actually get an update. It’ll get a makeover during the off season. Uh, but if you scroll down and you go to this cheat sheet down here, click here. When you click there, it brings you to the Google sheet that I app I get everyone has access to. This is for free. Even if you go to sweetspotdfs.com, you don’t need an account to check out that homepage and you don’t need an account to check out the cheat sheet. You can go there, check this out. I do have the marquee tea times in here, but to talk about the grass stats, I have the Bermuda stats in here. There is no second grass stat that I’m using. I don’t keep track of Zoya through my spreadsheets. I never have. But, uh, something you’ll be able to do in the future on the website, just at this current time, not so much. Uh, Eric, please show me where the marquee tea times are on the cheat sheet. Right here, bud. group rank. These are marquee tea times. I know you might not follow like week to week, so I understand, but I usually typically say your marquee tea times are found right under column O, group rank. So they’re they’re um they’re numbered right there. So yeah, cheat sheets available to you guys. And then also if you want you can also sorry go to optimizer under those uh under that fantasy tools dropdown. Go to optimizer. This will bring you to a page. It’ll pop up and you can request the optimizer for the week. I update it every single week with a new one. You have to put your email address in here and hit request now. An email will get sent to me. Please be patient. It comes to my email inbox. I have to see it first before I can send you the optimizer. Um, and I’ll send optimizers after after this video because I don’t have uh the public’s optimizer updated. I just have my optimizer right now updated. So, um, just throwing that out there. That’s not quite ready for you guys. But again, you can follow along. You’ve got your Bermuda stats, course history. You can you can check to see which golfers have good course history here, what their last year finish was. That’ll probably be, you know, important for us to pick golfers from, especially with the bucket system. So, all that’s available to you. Going back to the golf course, the only other thing to really talk about are the uh off the tea shot shapes, the approach shot shapes. It looks as if being a little creative at this golf course matters. Hitting uh both both directions, but I always say this, it’s not necessary. It’s just beneficial. And I even put that in the disclaimer here. They’re not necessary. They just offer the best scoring opportunities for each hole. And I do map out the golf course in this section right here. shows you the hole number, what the the par is for the hole, the yardage for the hole, and what shot shapes I find beneficial, not necessary, to score better at this golf course. So, throwing that out there. Again, this is available to you under golf course stats. If I go to the cheat sheet, the only thing I want to talk about really is strength of field rating. 726 is pretty high. Uh, I I kind of So, last week at the Windom Championship, I had a pretty successful week. I had mentioned this before. I think I mentioned it during the Windom. The weeks leading up to the um well, the the weeks leading up to the Windom, you had the 3M Open. Obviously, we had the Open Championship. Before there was the Genesis Scottish Open and just those events, just looking at the events 3M I didn’t do so hot and I was very specific with what I need to know the soil conditions. Dave Dean says I saw I saw a notification from Dave on my ex just saying I need to know the soil conditions. I love it. Um, but at the 3M open, you know, it wasn’t a strong field and I was thinking to myself and and I went very specific with my my top golfers. I think when the strength of fields at its worst, you need to shotgun spray. If you’re going to if you’re going to create lineups, you just got to shotgun spray your ownership. You can’t focus on certain golfers because it’s wide open. When the strength of field gets a little higher, it’s in my opinion that your best golfers like it. That’s where you would want to hunker down on a particular golfer. I mean, imagine at the Open Championship that you’re just like, “Hey, I like Scotty Sheffler. He played pretty well at the Genesis Scott. I’m going to go 100% in on Scotty.” the likelihood that you would have hit something like a a GPP winner or just you know a comma like cashing a comma would have been pretty high. Um I didn’t I think I went 40% on Scotty wasn’t high enough and I didn’t have the right golfers to go with him but if I were to create more lineups with Scotty in it the likelihood of me actually getting to a lineup like that is pretty high. So, uh, AJ asks, “How come Rory didn’t make the playoffs?” He did make the playoffs. He always, believe it or not, always takes this week off. I shouldn’t say always. He rarely plays the the first event for whatever reason. Rarely plays the first event. Uh, or at least maybe I’m just remembering the last couple years. I just don’t ever see him playing this event. So anyways, I think this week with the strength of field being high, I think we choose one of these guys. I’m I you all know me being a Scotty Sheffller, like I’ve been sticking to him this whole year. It hasn’t paid off every single time, but when his salary has been the most challenging, he still performs. he still ends up being like in the GPP winning lineup or in the optimal even or the sweet spot optimal. So, I don’t mind going to someone like Scotty. Xander, by the way, is like he had a pretty good month of July. I don’t mind going to Xander. JT’s like iffy. Russell Henley I like quite a bit here. Uh, believe it or not, let’s see what was my Do I have my dummy lineup up? Can you put Scotty and Russell Henley together in a lineup? Yeah. Um, okay. Here, here’s my dummy lineup. I like it quite a bit. Bud Collie, Russell Henley, Sunjm, Shane Lowry, Sheffller, and and Motty Schmidt. Russell Henley. $10,000, by the way. 10,000. That lineup was pretty good. Pretty good. But $10,000. So, putting Scotty with another 10k golfer, pretty darn easy. Pretty darn easy. We’ll see how building lineups goes towards the end of this, but I’m kind of liking it quite a bit. Uh, by the way, there’s no cut, right? I’m pretty sure there’s no cut at this event. No cut. Okay. Top 70 players, there’s no cut. Obviously, the top 50 from here go on to the next round and then the top 30 from that next tournament go into the Tour Championship. Okay, no cut. Let’s take a look at past winning scores. Hideki Matsyama minus 17 – 15 the year before that – 15 the year before that. -6 the year before that. So this golf course is a bit challenging. Not super low scores. 19 under in 2018 by Dustin Johnson was the lowest. But if you take a look at second place score, it barely gets past 10 under. Barely. Okay. The last couple years, never mind. That’s changed. When it became a playoff event, I think that’s when this this all updated. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. For sure. That’s so funny that prior to this it was harder to score. That makes sense. But um since it’s become a playoff event. Okay, minus 15. So, we can anticipate at least minus5 being second place, if not the winning score. If you’re looking for a winning score, I’d say between -6 – 18. I think that’s easy to say. But yeah, solid. There was a cut in 2022. Was that not a playoff event? It must not have been. I I have not I can’t remember for the life of me when this became a playoff event. Was it 2023? Must have been. No, it had to been 2020. I I’m so sorry, guys. I honestly don’t remember. I don’t. This was a WGC event in 2021. That’s for certain. So, yeah, it either became an event, a playoff event in 2022 or 2023. Doesn’t really matter. No, no cut. Okay, I really don’t have anything else to say about the golf course and tournament information, so we might as well get right into uh salary and optim uh Jesus. Pass optimal and GPP winning laps. Man, words are hard. You think everyone should play AJ? You can’t stand Rory. Yeah. Okay, let’s move on. Let’s take a look at what kind of lineups have won the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Now, obviously, we just kind of learned that This this event became a playoff event not too long ago. Trying to figure out when Oh my god. All right. Whatever. I can’t I can’t think of it. So, anyways, I can’t find it. It was must have been 2023, I imagine. So, first things first, I’m going to go ahead and put in FedEx St. Jude under the tournament. and look at 2023 and 2024 because that’s I know for certain they were playoff events in 2023 2024 you have a 10 9 and 47s as the top lineup build 10 98766 as the second lineup build 10 9 37s and a 6K 10 98776 as the other one. So, that is the most common lineup build that you typically see every single year. Uh, not every single year. That’s the most typical lineup build you’ll see in any given tournament is that 1098776. Especially if you go and clear the filters, you can see there’s 135 records where there’s a 1098776. And that spans across the entire PGA schedules dating all the way back to 2017. So, for every uh I I I I keep track of three lineups. GP winner, optimal lineup, and sweet spot optimal. Of those three lineups, I mean, three of those lineups in each event, I add up all of the different lineup builds. 1098776 is the most common by over half. Uh almost over half. The mo the second most common lineup build is 1098766. That’s the second most common. Then it’s a 1088776. So they all work right next to each other. They all start with a 10K golfer. They all have a 6K golfer in them. Uh and some kind of arrangement of 9877 or 877 or you know you can see it on the screen. So there are different ways to to tackle this. Like I said, I I put in FedEx St. Jude in 2024 2023 when it became a playoff event. We can certainly go that way. Uh if you want to take a look at which golfers were in each of those events, if you go to FedEx St. Jude and we just type in 2024 and take a look at the GPP winning lineup. We can see that it started with Xander Schoffley at 11,400, Hideki at 93, Sam Burns at 83, Windham Clark at 79, Eric Cole at 67, and Brennan Todd who finished 22nd place 6100. So, the GPP winner last year had four golfers inside the top seven and two golfers 18th and 22nd. In 2023, the GPP winning uh lineup had an 11,500 Rory Mroy. So, I guess he did play two years ago. Tommy Fleetwood at 91, Russell Henley at 78. It’s a 47. It’s 47K golfers. $7,400 Lucas Glover, $7,200 Justin Rose who finished 20th, and then Taylor Moore at $7,000 who finished fifth. Now, we can take a look at Sweet Spot Optimal, which is basically a lineup that uses $49,600 of the salary and is the best lineup with that criteria. It’s still Rory, Tommy, and the Oh, it’s it’s the same lineup, right? It isn’t the same lineup. Pretty darn close, though. The sweet spot optimal actually scored about four or 20 more points. Yeah, 11,9100 7874727,000. So very similar to the GPP winning lineup. And then the optimal was what? I actually used up 49,900 believe it or not. And it was 115 Rory 98 Patrick. So two expensive guys up top. Three sevens and then a six. Adam Shank 6,400. In 2024, your optimal was he used up $49,300 114 93 8371 67 Nick Dunlap and 65 Denny McCarthy. Now, if you wanted to take a look at all FedEx St. Jude’s, I think that’s fine. So, just leave all of uh the years unselected. And we can see the most common lineup build is a 998876. The FedEx St. Jude has gone has has been very different over the years. I went back to my spreadsheet and showed you the results page. If I just scroll down to the bottom, we can see how many golfers were in this field. You had 70 last year, 70 the year before that. The year before that there was 121 golfers and then it was 65 because it became a WGC event had 78 in 2020 another WGC event 63 in 2019 WGC event and then it was just a regular cut event from 2018 and on. So there is very um it’s not very consistent what this event type has been in the past. It’s been a full field event. It’s been a limited field event. It’s been a playoff event. So, there are different ways to look at um different ways to look at this event. Now, unfortunately, I don’t have a little button that says, “Hey, choose all the playoff events, but what we could do is just go FedEx St. Jude BMW. Maybe we can also put in I think I have everything updated. I think there’s a Genesis. No. Darn. I can’t remember what a few years ago what we I mean there was Oh, Northern Trust. There we go. The Northern Trust. So, what used to be the BMW or what used to be the Deutsche Bank Championship is that I don’t even know. I don’t think that’s that’s one. I I’ve I’ve updated it to be different. So, I’ve I’ve updated them to be their typical or what is the current playoff event cuz you had the Deutsche Bank, the Northern Trust, I think the BMW, unless the BMW became or uh the Deutsche Bank became the BMW. I’m going to take a look right now. Nope. It’s always been the BMW since 20 or 2007. You had the Dell Technologies Championship. Okay. So, can I put Dell in here? I wonder. Dell. There it is. There we go. See, just do a little little bit of research. So, those are your four playoff events, by the way. Dell Technologies Championship, FedEx St. Jude, BMW Championship, and the Northern Trust. I I say those are the four. that means from from my data 2013 all the way to this this event. So, just throwing that out there. And the St. Jude I actually treat differently because TPC Southwind has been a golf course that the tour has used for different tournaments, but it’s always been called the St. Jude. So, I’m just I’m just calling it as that. So yeah, it was the Northern Trust, Dell Technologies Championship, BMW Championship, and then the Tour Championship. So those are your four playoff events. And so I I added those into the select tournament uh selection here because I want to see overall what are the most common lineup builds just for playoff events. This is not as concrete. I’m not going to blow smoke and say this is exactly what you need to do with your research, but it’s just a overview like a zoomed out level to see what lineup builds, you know, tend to matter at this event or at at playoff events. So, we get a 1088776, which in all reality seems extremely easy to do this week because if we look at the cheat sheet, if you went with a Scotty lineup, let’s just I’m going to build one right now. So, what was that again? It was a 1088776. So, let’s go with Scotty. $13,000. Anything that’s 10k and above, I count as a 10k golfer. So, we can go 13,000. Sepraka seems like a good play. Um, I actually don’t mind Cam Young, Ben Griffin, or Chris got her up. Let’s just do Cam Young for 8,200 be to try to use up more salary. So, let’s go like a 1388 and like what was it again? 776. Okay. So, let’s find our 6k golfer. I’m a sucker for Bud Collie. I I don’t know if he just kind of hit the if he got a little fatigued over the years or whatever. Or maybe I want to go with I’m kind of digging here. Let’s go with the staple. Let’s go with Justin Rose. I I I think he’s decent at this golf course. I don’t mind him, Max Greaserman, or say Ryan Gerard, but let’s let’s do an expensive golfer first. How much money do I have left over? I have 13,200. Oh, not 13,000. Yeah, 13,200. Okay, so I might need another Okay, so I have to actually choose a cheaper 6K golfer. Davis Riley 6100. I don’t mind that. Now I have uh basically $8,000 to work with because I have $14,000. Oh jeez. That’s that’s two sevens, right? Yeah. Okay, never mind. My math is not mathing right now. That’s difficult to do. 13,000 with the two AKs. I need two 6ks. I can’t I could I could go seven and seven and that works, but that’s not what I I don’t think that’s what I’m looking for. Interesting. Okay, that makes it a little bit more challenging. So, I wouldn’t be able to do one of these top AKs. Well, here. Let’s look at a different way. Well, never mind. Let’s use um Xander because $11,000 golfer at this event has done well in the past. So, let’s go with Xander. 28s. And now I have 15,900 to work with. So I can do some 7K golfers. Let’s do Gosh, Daniel Burgerer has played this golf course pretty decent in the past. And now I actually have $8,100 to work with. Let’s do something like that. That’s $49,600. Xander, Seam Young. Not my favorite lineup. I mean, I guess I could I could spend up. Okay, let’s do that. Let’s go back to what we had. Justin Rose. I’ll actually take off Bobby Mack because I don’t really care. And I actually have $7,300 to work with. How about Chris Kirk who played well actually Lucas Glover. Somebody in chat said Lucas Glover. There we go. Now we have our 1088776. We have Xander 111, Stro at 87, Cam Young at 82, uh Danny Berger at 78, Lucas Glover at 7, and Justin Rose at 69. Now we have $300 to work with. So if you don’t like any of those golfers, you can move around. You can play musical chairs. Maybe you take out Danny Burgerer and put in Shane Lowry because I do like Shane Lowry this week. And that means we could actually bump up say Cam Young to Sam Burns. That uses up all 50,000 of the salary. Now we have Xander, Sam Burns, Sept Straka, Shane Lowry, Lucas Glover, and Justin Rose. That seems like a pretty good lineup. Seems like a pretty good lineup. So, uh, just just ways to look at it. Now, going from Scotty and you want to do two AKs, maybe it’s kind of jumping down here. Or maybe it’s Chris Goddup to go with Scotty. Uh, and maybe Ben Griffin or maybe Yeah, I mean, if you want to make a 1088 work with Scotty, it’s something like that. bring Davis Riley into the fray and let’s do like Ricky Fowler at $7,000. And now I actually have $7,800 to work with. I could actually put in Shane Lowry and I have $400 I can jump up to. So I could go from like I could either do Ben Griffin or Chris Goddarup and then what? Cory Connors. Well, I could do Harris English or I could go Cory Connor’s and Chris Garup. That would work. There’s a there’s a 1088776 that works with Scotty Shuffler that I wouldn’t mind either. Um, but that’s one way to look at it. That’s just one lineup. That’s, you know, those are all the playoff events and it it spans over all of these. So, maybe those don’t even matter to you, which is absolutely fine. You do not have to follow this way. It’s just one way to filter out and try to find what salary builds do well at playoff events. The other thing to do or the other thing you could use, go into more filters and put that max salary up to whatever golfer that you feel comfortable playing. Now, if you’re going to do Scotty, I would just say 12,000, say 600 to since he’s 13,000, let’s go 13,400. And so you can see the most common lineup builds a 108, two sevens and two sixes. That actually is pretty easy to get to to to build a lineup that way. Or a 10 108 666. And by the way, I cleared out all of the the events that I had already picked. So we’re looking at all events where there’s a $13,000 golfer in any of these lineups and showing you how what the most common lineup build is for that. of it’s it’s kind of a a hodgepodge. They all start obviously with a 10k golfer because that’s what we’re filtering out, but only 30% of them have a 9K golfer in them in it. 30% of those lineups only have a 9K golfer. 66% have an 8K golfer. So, if you’re building lineups that way with Scotty Sheffller, consider starting with Scotty. And then of all your Scotty lineups, 66% of them, the next golfer that you do after Scotty will be an 8K golfer. And then if you really wanted to drill down on more filters, go into the little G1, G2, G3 filters down here. That’s golfer 1, golfer 2, golfer 3. If you wanted to go to 108, you can see there’s not a second AK golfer that goes with it. So that’s another way of filtering what type of lineup. So, I just showed you how the playoff looks, like the the the playoff lineups look. None of them follow that criteria with with Scotty Sheffller, like the $13,000 golfer. So, that’s just one way to look at it. Also, there can be mold breakers, right? We can we can build lineups with so many different types of golfers. If you go a Scotty route, it does not look like you can do a 1088. Obviously, we just did the playoff filters, and the playoff filters show us that a 1088 is the most common lineup build. So, now you got two. To me, it’s like, now I’m asking myself two questions. One is, do I want to start my lineups with Scotty? I know someone in chat says Scotty Shuffler is going to win by seven strokes. I’m on I’m more on that side than say Xander Schoffley winning this event and then it’s a to me then that’s where we’ll become a 1088 776 type of approach. But if I’m going Scotty, I’m probably looking right at this board right here and I’m going 108 7 and then determining how many 6k golfers do I want in it. That’s kind of how I’m thinking about lineup building this week. And I I won’t lie, I I’m probably going to put Scotty in about 60% of my lineups. And of those 60 lineups, I’ll just kind of do the math right here. Looks like 10 8 2 sevens and two sixes are the way to go. So Scotty had 13,000. I mean, I’m just going to go with Sam Burns. I like Sam Burns. I’ll do our our boy shot like Harden some justice here. Um, not so much Justice, but we’ll give him what he wants to see. We’ll go 10 89. And I do like Shane Lowry this week. He’s going to be my one and done pick, by the way, cuz I’ve used all the other hot, you know, top guys. Shane Lowry will be my my one and done. So, I’m going to put him in the lineup. By the way, Cam Young was my one and done last week in the Mayo Cup. 1% used him. Guess who was one of them? This guy right here, AM Young. I had a good feeling that Cam Young was going to win. Let’s do Shane Lowry at 74. Let’s do here. I’m going to jump down to the 6K range. I like Davis Riley. I think it’s a southern golf course. He’s an Alabama graduate. Not that close to Tennessee, but good enough for me. Uh, and let’s do Motty Schmidt. I do like Oh my god. I I actually have $8,000 to work with if I go this way. How about we How about Bud Collie? Nah, that’s still $8,000 that I can play with. I don’t really want that. Sunjam. There we go. And now I have $7,800 to work with, which means really choose any of these dudes. Kind of like kind of have a good feeling about uh Windam Clark at this event. So that’s 49,800. So I can go Scotty, Sam Burns, Windham Clark, Shane Lowry, Sunjm, Davis Riley, or maybe we choose from Windham and let’s put in Lucas Glover. That’s another 7K golfer. And let’s bring up Riley to another 6K that I like. Justin Rose. That’s a $50,000 lineup right there. That’s pretty doable. 13,000 Scotty $8,900 Sam Burns $7,400 Shane Lowry $7,000 Lucas Glover 69 Justin Rose 68 Sunjam that’s pretty doable I am going 76968 which however you feel about that is what it is. Uh, but of course you can make your you could cascade this lineup. So 68 can come down to 66. Maybe like Andrew Novak, maybe like Tony Feno. He’s been struggling quite a bit, but maybe this is his his bounce back or Bud Collie. Like I I don’t mind Bud Collie. Now we can add $400 to anything. And you can bump up a couple golfers. I guess you can go from Glover to say, I don’t know, Chris Kirk at 72, Shane Lowry up to Windham Clark 76. And there you go. Another $50,000 lineup. Of course, we’ll use the optimizer to see which lineups we can actually build, but we can keep all that stuff in mind, right? We can keep all that in mind, okay? You can access these tools at sweetspotdfs.com. it is behind a payw wall. So, you will have to become a weekly, monthly, yearly, or lifetime member in order to see these tools. Obviously, use the historic salary builds, use the um optimal and GP winners if you want to see which golfers were a part of each of those those lineups. So, obviously start here with historic salary builds, past salary builds, and then come into here to pass optimal and GBPs, past optimals. Uh and there you go. you can do your your research that way. But that covers that segment. What’s going on, Lombardi Lee? Nice to see you in the chat, Phillip. What’s going on? I saw you two come in. Anybody new? I don’t think so. I don’t see anybody. Okay, cool. All right, let’s move on to last week’s event. Windom Championship. Uh, let’s review this really quick. I’m just going to show you how well the Buckets did and then we’ll move on from there. I’m not going to spend too much time. I always start here. I don’t really care who won the tournament. Cam Young obviously won the event. I had him in my one and done. Was feeling good about it. I put him in a couple of my lineups and that’s why I did so well. My most successful week this month, this last month. So, my most successful week of July was the Windham Championship. A little bit had to do because I did like Cam Young. I put him in a bunch of lineups. He was $7,900. Made lineup building pretty easy. Um, also I liked Ben Griffin and Matt Fitzpatrick, which were the best 7K or best 10K golfers from last week’s event also. But when it comes to the bucket system, the sweet spot process, I mean, it obviously goes around the bucket system. So, I like to look at this section here to see which buckets were successful, which ones were not. I do have 36 total buckets. There are six stat categories. Last year, last week, course history, recent form, salary, and stroke scene. Those are all buckets. And in each of those, or those are all stat categories that have buckets in them. And there are six buckets in those stack categories, meaning there are 36 total buckets. So when I look at this column, all this is doing is comparing the top 10 and the optimal lineup counts for each of these buckets and comparing it against the projection. Now we always round down with the minimum. We always round up with the maximum. So this very first bucket would be minimum is zero.96 rounds down to zero 1.6 rounds up to two. So the bucket projection is 0 to2. So I would have told you in last week’s video we expect to see 0 to2 golfers from this bucket to finish inside the top 10. There were two golfers that finished inside the top 10. There were two golfers in the optimal lineup. the sweet spot optimal, following all the rules, only had one golfer. But regardless, we look at these two columns. Two and two fall inside 0 to2. That means it was a success. So when you go all the way down the the buckets, we see this bucket was a failure. Um, and that is true. There were three golfers that finished inside the top 10 instead of 0 to2 because that is the that’s the projection we had was 0 to2. There were three that finished inside the top 10. There were also three in the optimal lineup. So no matter what that bucket becomes a failure because I did not project three. The optimizer would not have chosen three and three ended up being inside the top 10 and the optimal. The optimal is the important one. Uh, there’s another bucket down here that has a no. This is not a true no. I don’t. This bucket says one to three, but I had it at 0 to three. That’s why you see zero in the sweet spot optimal right here. I don’t remember why I had it at zero. I think maybe I looked in the bucket. I I’d have to remember why I went back and made it a zero to three, but that’s also what the optimizer had was 0 to3. So I I wonder if it’s because, you know, the frequency of top 10 finishers wasn’t that high, 75% in the optimal lineup. Only 37% of optimal lineups had at least one golfer from this bucket in it. So like that’s not a very good number. Um, and I imagine it was just because of the golfers in it. I mean, the average salary was $6,600. That to me probably drives it down. Yeah, there were 58 golfers in that bucket where normally we see 29. So, yeah, I that’s probably why it’s probably why I had it 0 to three. Um, so that isn’t a true failure because again, I’m not I didn’t have that in the optimizer. Uh, and then there was another one down here. This isn’t a failure either because this would have been a 0 to3 bucket as well. That one’s This one’s a little easier. 2.04 as the maximum is so close to being under two that we want a two-point buffer between the minimum and the maximum. I would have put zero as the minimum and um three as the maximum. So to me that was not a true failure, but I did have one in the sweet spot optimal. So, it really comes down to did the SweetSpot optimal beat the GPP winner. The GPP winner scored 676.5 points. It used up 49,500 of the salary. The Sweet Spot Optimal scored 671 and used 49,900. So, it was 5 points 5 1/2 points behind the GPP winner, which was a pretty darn good score because the optimal lineup scored 699. for a full field event like that to only be 20 points behind the optimal lineup is phenomenal. So like that’s pretty darn good. Um and if you want to see the the GPP winner had six golfers inside the top 11. That was super super good. You can see that Ben Griffin was in the sweet spot optimal. He was 10,100. He was also in the GPP winning lineup. Matt Fitzpatrick was also in the sweet spot optimal. So two 10k golfers in the sweet spot optimal. Um yeah, so it didn’t work out. And then if we look at the marquee tea times, I don’t know why that looks so weird, but it does. Oh, I think I know it. Okay, we look at the marquee tea times from last week. Here were your marquee t times. Only one golfer from the marquee t times was in the GPP winning lineup. Zero golfers from the marquee t times were in the optimal lineup. That I think is the first time I’ve ever seen that ever. Ever. Ben Griffin and Matt Fitzpatrick, the two 10k golfers, were the only golfers to make any one of the lineups from the marquee tea times. And that was the sweet spot optimal. This is following the sweet spot rules was those two golfers. So all in all, the sweet spot process failed. There was no way of getting a lineup that would have taken down the $5 GP, which is kind of interesting because like I said, yours truly had my most successful week in in a month in a, you know, maybe five weeks. So, it just kind of goes to show contest selection is super important. Unfortunately, couldn’t take down a GP following the sweet spot rules. Um, that’s crazy. That is so crazy. These golfers did so terrible. Like, look at all these finishes from these golfers. It’s It’s the worst I’ve ever seen from the Marquee T Times. We did have a withdraw uh right underneath them. Not so bad. Denny McCarthy was just outside of the Marquee T Times. That could have helped, but yeah, not good, guys. Not good. I wonder what group was um Cam Young in. Rico Hoey and Jim Herman. So I think is that a withdraw or was that just a late ad? Might have been a late ad. It’s how it goes sometimes. How it goes. We’ll just chalk that up as varants. Like 95% of the time the marquee tea times hit. 95% of the time the sweet spot process hits. So, that’s just one of those times where it doesn’t. Now, I usually bring all that up to give you confidence to use the bucket system, the sweet spot process for this week. Obviously, it failed. So, that doesn’t really offer you much uh confidence, but stick with me. We’re going to follow the sweet spot process this week. Also, uh someone emailed me like, “Hey, with the being a limited field, should we even follow the sweet spot process this week?” It’s like this is exactly when to do it. My bit like my most success comes from limited field events and I think it’s because the same golfers golf in the event year after year. So it is easier to predict quote unquote predict or forecast which golfers will finish inside the top 10 or which golfer or which buckets will represent the top 10. So I think it’s super easy. Nate Elbert, what’s going on, man? Haven’t seen you in a while. I don’t even know if I’ve ever seen you. Never mind. I shouldn’t say in a while. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen you. Anyone on the do not bet list for you. Uh, let’s take a look. Go to FedEx St. Jude. We are going to get into the bucket system, so might as well bring this up. The do not bet list. What are we looking for? I guess that’s a really good question uh to figure out what your betting style is. Are you looking for mid? Are you looking for um you know bombs from down below? What what uh what kind of value do you bet or what value are you looking to bet? Give me a range and I could probably tell you from those ranges whether or not I would or would not bet anybody. Uh AJ goes, I got my 1088776 Xander Straa Ry Burger McNeely GLO. There you go, man. That actually looks that sounds pretty good. Sounds pretty good. All right, let’s uh let’s move on to the bucket system. Oh, wait, hold on. Tim Tulo says, “Won the $1 lake captain showdown for 225 Sunday.” There you go, buddy. Nate goes, “Uh, some lower value guys like the 7 to 8K range.” Okay. Who would I not bet? So, can we go 8,900 down to 7K? Is that fine? Of golfers I would not bet. Um, JT Poston would be a guy I would not bet. Thought there was a spider crawling on me. That felt weird. Wouldn’t bet JT Poston. Would not bet Kurt Kittyama. Would not bet Jason Day. Uh would not bet Ryan Harmon. [Music] If Brian Harmon is a like like a 100 to one, I I have no idea what his odds are. That’s that’s okay. I wouldn’t mind doing Brian Harmon at 100 to one. Shane Lowry, I would bet. Denny McCarthy, I would bet. Jake Knap, probably not. McNeely is fine. Speed’s fine. Clark is fine. Again, this this is all valuewise. If you can find like Clark for 60 to 171, I think that’s a pretty good uh bet on him. Shane Lowry is my one and done, by the way. So, I I do like Shane Lowry this week. A lot of that is actually to do with the fact that I don’t have many other people to choose from, but I do like the idea of playing Shane Lowry this week. Kittyama actually is 14th in my model. So, I mean, I just don’t like those stats. I I don’t know. I I still wouldn’t I still wouldn’t play um for Kittyama. See, who else would I not do? I probably wouldn’t do Daniel Burgerer. I just don’t know what is going on with that guy. He plays well at this event. So, course history could be a big that could be really good for him actually. Course history and stroke chain stats. Let’s see. Where is he? Danny Ber. Actually, Danny Ber has really good stats for this whole year. Uh, hold on. Let’s just go for this year. Just kidding. Just wait. Hold on. Danny Ber, still not terrible. Ball striking is really good. How about we go from what? June, two months. Still making cuts and ball striking is really good. It’s just as around the green. Okay, actually I changed my tune on Danny Ber. Danny Ber looks like a good play this week. Woo. Harry Hall 11th in my model. So I’d probably I’ I’d bet him. Got her up. I got no issue with probably wouldn’t bet Aaron Ry. Probably wouldn’t bet Keegan Bradley. Everyone else is pretty fair game, dude. If you’ve got convictions, go with them. I think you’re you’re absolutely fine. Okay, let’s jump in the bucket system. Now, you can follow along with me when we go over the bucket system. This is available on the cheat sheet. Again, go to sweetspotdfs.com. Go under cheat sheet, scroll down to this cheat sheet here, click here, and what you’ll find at the bottom there’s the bucket system. There’s a tab called the bucket system. just drill down on that and you can follow along with me when it comes to um going over the bucket system. So, I’m going to show you how to use the bucket system. I kind of just did it in the review for the Windom. The main important thing is just to look at your projections here, the minimum and maximum projection. So if we just look at the stat last year, there are six buckets in that stat of the and then when we come to look at okay well what do we expect from this bucket? Well I expect that one to three golfers from this bucket or I’m sorry I expect one to three golfers from the last year one bucket. So just looking across the the way from last year one one to three to finish inside the top 10. So you would then go to the dream sheet which is on the cheat sheet. I know that’s that’s very difficult but there’s a tab on the cheat sheet called the dream sheet right down below on the tabs. Go there and put a filter on there. There’s a little calculator looking icon at the top of the the ribbon. Click on that and check the draft kings filter. And then under the last year column, clear everything out and only select one. So here are all the golfers in the last year one bucket. There are 14 of them. One to three is the expectation. one to three golfers from this list of golfers that you see the bucket of golfers right here. One to three to finish inside the top 10. Here’s the thing to remember. Scotty Sheffller is in this bucket. The likelihood of him finishing inside the top 10 is very, very, very high. Very high. So, he might just be the one golfer out of all of them that represents this bucket. And that projection then is true cuz he’d be one in the one to three. Now here’s the other thing. Two of the other golfers just underneath him and it I mean it could just be Xander and maybe it’s Sam Burns. Now if Scotty gets outplayed by Xander Schoffley, Scotty just becomes obsolete. you you can still win money with Scotty in certain contests, but if you’re trying to win a GPP, the likelihood of you winning a GPP with Scotty underperforming from Xander, or I should say Xander overperforming Scotty means you can’t play Scotty Sheffller. If Xander outperforms Scotty, you can’t play Scotty Sheffller. This this disparity in in price is big enough. So, the likelihood of three golfers from this bucket to finish inside the top 10 is pretty high, considering eight of the 14 are $8,000 and above. Now, this bucket represents golfers who did really well last year at this event. Tends to be a bucket that’s tied to course history, and course history at this particular golf course is pretty high. So to forecast to per you know project yeah I think Sky Sheffield will finish inside the top 10. I think Xander has a really good shot of finishing inside the top 10 also. So just those two alone will you know succeed with this bucket projection. The rest of the guys 8300 to 97 you got Matt Fitzpatrick Victor Havlin Patrick Kentlay Sam Burns Hideki Mansama and Aaron Ry. I’m a big fan of Sam Burns at this golf course. Huge fan. Hideki won this event last year. He hasn’t been playing super great golf as of late, but yeah, I don’t mind Hideki Matsiam at this event. But now it becomes an issue because the projection for this bucket’s one to three. And if the buckets are usually, I shouldn’t say usually, they always are 93% correct or better. This bucket I don’t expect to fail the bucket projection. So, one to three, meaning you have to make some cuts from this bucket. First of all, you know, put percentages next to these golfers. You know, if you think three golfers are going to make uh are going to fish inside the top 10, you would then I would put the number 300 off to the side. 300 represents 300%. Because if you truly think three golfers are going to finish inside the top 10, then that’s how you got to think of it. You pick one golfer at 100%, another golfer at 100%, and another golfer at 100%. But obviously of the 300, you can you can divvy this up. I think Scotty Shuffler has a 100% chance to make the top 10. And if that’s crazy, let’s do 95%. He has a 95% chance to make the top 10. So of that 300%, 95 gets taken away. So now we’re stuck with 205. So 205 Xander, what’s the likelihood he makes the top 10? I’m going to say 75%. So 9575, that’s 170% is being allocated to just those two golfers. Meaning 130% goes down to the rest of these guys. My likelihood of Matt Fitzpatrick finishing inside the top 10 is probably 10%. Victor Havlin’s probably 10%. Patrick Cantley I actually think probably be 20 to 30%. Sam Burns is probably 20 to 30%. So now I’m I’m looking at what let’s just say this is 60 80 90 and I said I have 130% left. So I have 50% to to allocate to the rest of these guys. You just do the math and just figure it out. Who are your favorite golfers? What are your exposure levels that you want to put with, you know, each one of these? But perhaps you don’t think three of them are going to finish inside the top 10. But also the one thing to always keep in mind if Scotty does finish inside the top 10 and doesn’t outperform any of these guys or I should say uh doesn’t outperform any of these golfers because I think it’s very important to make that distinction. any of these guys down here, even Aaron Riot 83, if they outperform Scotty, that doesn’t mean Scotty’s, you know, you can’t play Scotty. If Mad McNeely at 7500 wins this event and Scotty Sheffller finishes third and say Xander finishes fourth, you could still make a Scotty lineup over Xander to go with Matt McNeely. It’s all about who you put in your lineups. So, it could happen that way. However, again, if you’re not huge on Scotty Sheffller this week, which you have every right not to be. That’s fine. He’s a very expensive golfer and this is a game theory type of game uh contest that we play, I should say. So, maybe it’s not Scotty, but you know, Scotty will finish inside the top 10. Then that’s where you dump you drop this projection. If you know Scotty Sheffler will finish inside the top 10, this projection of 1 to3 now becomes 0 to2. And that’s how I would look at the rest of that bucket is zero to two. If you don’t want to play Scotty, then play zero to two of the rest of the guys. I I kid you not. If I remove here, um I’m going to do this just just for a test. If I delete all that information right there, uh I have to do it that way and then I also have to do it this way. Let’s delete all this information right here. And we go back to that bucket projection. Still says one to three. Never mind. It’s still a pretty high projection. That’s crazy. So, it’s not as high. Did you see how it changed? 2.82 2.48. It’s still over to a comfortable enough uh comfort comfortable enough number. Okay. I still I I’m still going to stick to my guns, but if you take Scotty out, technically you could still do a one to three projection. Okay, interesting. So, Scotty doesn’t really jump that bucket up. That is in That’s the first time I’ve ever seen it that way cuz I would I was anticipating that bucket was going to really drop. It really was. Okay. And it didn’t. So, we’ll go with ER. Okay. I’ll I’ll I’ll provide you two thought processes. I already did with the one. If you think if you’re not going to play Scotty, pick zero to two. That’s my firm. That’s my belief. That’s my first initial thought actually after reviewing it. So, here’s my secondary thought. If you remove Scotty from it, you can still do this as a one to three. So, it’s up to you guys. I know I’m not I’m not being very exact with this, but obviously doing that little exercise showed me this bucket’s still a pretty high quality bucket to to provide three golfers from it. So, oh, actually, I am so sorry. I I I know how to interpret this. If Scotty doesn’t finish inside the top 10, if you are forecasting Scotty to not finish inside the top 10, then then you can comfortably do a one to three projection. That’s that’s how this works. But if you know Scotty’s going to fish inside the top 10, but isn’t going to place good enough or well enough to be in a GPP winning lineup, then you choose 0 to2. Hopefully I didn’t confuse anybody there, but that is the right way to interpret that. So, if you do think Scotty’s finishing inside the top 10, but he he’s not going to be in the GPV winning lineup, then you choose 0 to2 of these golfers. If you think for whatever reason Scotty is going to get arrested or whatever, you know, Tennessee is just one state underneath Kentucky. It is possible he could get Wait, yes. Uh it is possible he could get arrested again. that that maybe that part of the country doesn’t like him. Um but but if you somehow don’t think he’s going to finish inside the top 10, then it’s one to three of these guys. Okay. Um yeah, that’s actually a really good thought experiment. This bucket here, I’m actually making a one to four projection. This is 2.96. So that’s pretty close to being over three. And I’d rather be pretty pretty open, generous I should say with this projection. I don’t mind this being a one to4 bucket. And in fact, do I have that under the last year two? I do not. So, we’re going to make that last year two. I’m going to make that a 1 to4 bucket. This is the the optimizer. I already put all these rules in here, all the conditionals. So, but anyways, that is gonna that that’s a a quick crash course on how to use the optimizer to find your projections. Now, to go over some of the most important buckets, what I’m going to do is put some filters in here. And actually, let me zoom in for you guys yet again. So, I’m going to go filter by condition greater than or equal to one under the minimum projection. And then the maximum projection I’m going to go uh filter by condition greater than or equal to two. Basically, this gives you the anchor buckets. Most of these I would say are true anchor buckets. There’s a couple that are very close to not being anchor buckets. Last week one and recent form one. And I say that because this both of these numbers right here are very low. 2.18 and 2.12. I’m not super comfortable with those numbers. And in fact, when I come to this conservative projection, which you guys have available on the cheat sheet, I do see one at 1.98, which is under two. I’m probably going to exclude that. And I’m probably actually going to exclude this one, which is crazy. Horse history 3. The recent form one actually holds up, so that’s fine. Horse history 3 0 to three. Do I have that in the optimizer? Course history 3. I do as 0 to three. Okay. Course History 2 is 2 to six. Wow. Wow. Okay, let’s go and put a filter on this one and go greater than 2.0 or greater than or equal to 2.09. That will get rid of those other two kind of iffy buckets. And now you have technically the anchor buckets. These would be all of the anchor buckets that I would say you want to choose at least one golfer out of each of these buckets. And guess what? They could be the same golfer. Scotty Sheffller is going to be in many of these buckets altogether. He didn’t play last week, so he’s going to be in that bucket. He’s in the last year one bucket. He’s in the course history two bucket. He’s in the recent form one bucket. Uh he’s in the stroke scheme one bucket. He’s going to be in all of those buckets. So him alone can make up at least one golfer in each of those projections. So just throwing that out there. And again, you can double check this by going to the cheat sheet and just looking at Scotty Sheffller’s name. Strokes game one bucket course history 2 recent form one last year one and last week six. That is Scotty Sheoffer. He’s in each of each of those buckets and he himself can be the one in you know at least one golfer from that bucket to finish inside the top 10. So just keep that in mind. I’m actually going to drill down a little bit further. I want to limit the anchor buckets that I’m going to talk about. And I’m just going to get anything that has 20 or more out of there. So, we’ll just talk about these buckets right here. Last year one, we were just on it. We’re not going to talk about last year one. I I use that as my example how to use the bucket system. I’m not going to talk about it. Last year two, 20 to 40. So, again, under the last year column, filter out by last year two. And my anchor or my uh dummy lineup on DraftKings is looking good already because I got Scotty Shafler and I have Russell Henley in it. $10,000 Russell Henley. Okay, feeling good about that. But it’s JT Henley, Fleetwood, Oberg, and Morawa. Those five golfers are really good. They’re really good to put in a lineup. If you want to go with those guys over Scotty, if you want to put say Xander from that previous bucket to go along with any of these guys, I think you’re looking pretty good for sure. I think you’re looking really good. But then it drops down. It drops off very fast. 73 down to 6,000. Um, that’s really interesting because that still means any of these guys down here, the cheap golfers down here, they can make your lineup and would make sense to put them in your lineup. Now, the projection for this bucket is one to three, but it’s close to 1 to four. And I think that’s what I have in the optimizer, 1 to four for last year, twos. Yeah, one to four. So, it’s really up to you. What do you What do you truly feel? Could there be up to four golfers from this bucket inside the top 10? Probably not. I think three of them can come right here easy. But the rest of these dudes, I don’t know. Obviously, you see low sevens and then we get into the 6K. Never fall in love with a 6K golfer, but never disrespect one. So, it is possible. It’s doable. I just don’t have the utmost confidence in it. So yeah, throwing that out there. It would be really interesting, you know, once the uh once I can add the bucket system to the website, we would be able to tell a previous last year twos have done when it comes to a salary perspective because I would be really interested to see how many of these golfers, you know, 15% success rate. Normally we see 10 golfers from this bucket. This year we have 18. That actually is a big deal, by the way, guys. To have eight more golfers in this bucket than we typically do, that is going to drive this number up. And you can see 72% of years dating back to 2015, 2014, 72% of the time at least one golfer from this bucket fish is inside of top 10. That’s not super high. I mean 72%’s a good number, but it’s not a for sure. It’s not a for certain thing. If I actually Okay, so I have this projection as one to four for last year, too. Here’s how I’m going to break this down. The likelihood four golfers finish inside the top 10 from this bucket, I’m going to say, is less than 2%. It’s there’s still a possibility, but it’s not very high. So, I wouldn’t I would not personally choose four golfers from this bucket. If you are feeling risky, go for it. Um, the percentage that at least three golfers finish inside the top 10 from this bucket, I’m going to put it like 25%. I don’t think it goes any higher than that. 25, cuz I’m not super trustworthy of these golfers. How about two golfers? I actually put two golfers at pretty high number, too. I’d say 30%. And then one golfer is going to be like 40%. Or whatever that whatever those numbers end up being. So let’s see. If I go one golfer at 40%, 30% we’ll have two golfers. That’s 70. 25% three golf. Yeah, actually that works out. Maybe I would do 20% three golfers. 40%. Nah, 30 20 30 49 maybe. Is that how I would tar it out? That sounds about right. Let’s see. Let me Let me do this really quick. Let me do the math here. Let’s say there’s a 2% chance that four here. One, two, three, four. Four golfers, let’s say 2%. Three golfers, let’s say I’m going to do 18%. And then I will do that’s 20, 30%, and 50. That’s what I would do right there. I think there’s a 50% chance only one golfer finishes inside the top 10. I think there’s a 30% chance that two golfers will, an 18% chance three golfers will, and a 2% or less that four golfers would. That’s how I would actually rate that. Um, it’s probably what I would rate that bucket as. And we’re talking about the last year twos, by the way. If I could incorporate this into lineup building, holy hell, I would be happy. That would be insane. Actually, that that’s that’s such a good idea to do something like that. Now, what I could do actually is just set the exposures to be that way. I don’t know exactly how I would do that, but it could work out that way. Anyways, um yeah, that’s kind of an interesting thought experiment. Reason form ones, this is a zero to3 bucket. I mean, it’s like I said, it it actually gets better when we add the sweet spot score to it, but it’s such a and it’s like Scotty Sheffller’s in this bucket. So, clear out or select all recent form one. Who do we have here? We have Scotty, Russell Henley. I like those two golfers. Uh Fleetwood, Fitzpatrick, Matsyama, English, Godup, Harry Hall, and Justin Rose. Interesting. Actually, I would say again, Scotty Shuffler, I do believe is going to fish inside the top 10. I don’t even think it’s I think he’s going to do that day walking or you know, sleepwalking, I should say. Day walking. Sleepwalking. Um Henley at 10, Flewood at 99. Like I do have, you know, confidence in Henley. Not that much though. Not as much as Scotty obviously. If if Scott, okay, again, this goes back to the last year one conversation I said. If you think Scotty’s gonna finish inside the top 10, but isn’t going to be part of the GPP wing lineup, this bucket then becomes a zero to two bucket. Really, maybe a zero to three, but definitely a zero to two bucket. Yeah, I I don’t I don’t really care to talk about any of those golfers, honestly. Recent form two is the next one. Is this a volume? This is not a volume driven bucket. Okay, take a look. Recent form two. This is a one to three. No, it’s a one to four. You have Xander and Justin Thomas at the top. Actually, just got a lot of good glue pieces in the middle. One to four. Yeah, that that’s about right. I would consider that a 1 to4 bucket. And I would actually follow the same percentages that I just showed you with that that one other bucket. Which one was it? The last year two bucket. 2% chance the four golfers finished inside the top 10. 18% chance three golfers. I I think that works out perfect. And this is another one of those considerations. Could you put a lineup with Xander and JT together? Probably not. It’s more doable than doing a Scotty and Henley lineup, which I have as my my dummy lineup, but um probably unlikely. But when you look at the rest of the golfers, yeah, it’s not a for certain. One to four is a pretty good projection. And it’s a very large projection. Very liberal. Uh or I should say liberal, very conservative, very conservative to have such a huge gap like that. Um I’m just not that I do like Septraka. I’m not that into Keegan this week. really not that into Cory Connors, although that seems pretty safe at 85. I do not like Aaron Ry. McIntyre’s interesting. I do like Clark. I like McNeely. I like Knap. I don’t like Ryan Harmon. I don’t like Kittyama. Glover is really the only guy down here besides Ricky Fowler that I like. Um, so do with that as you will. Not going to talk about the 7K golfers. We can talk about the strokes one golfers. Let’s go ahead select all strokes gain one. We sort A to Z and then you can see all the golfers in that bucket right here. And quite frankly, you can build some good lineups with just these guys. You know, like obviously Scotty Shuffler’s there, but so too is Xander Schoffley. So again, let’s do that same thought experiment with Scotty Shuffler. This is a one to four bucket. If you think Scotty is going to finish inside top 10 but not be in the GPP winning lineup, we make this a zero to3 bucket. But I do like Xander. I like JT. I like Fleewood. And I like Patrick Hley. I think this is a good golf course for Patrick Hley. So I those four golfers, I think there’s a 100% chance that one of those golfers finishes inside the top 10. So that’s my little um stamp of approval. If you wanted to create a pool of golfers or pool of just for these golfers and just select one, I think that’s perfect. Um, so really it’s like, okay, Scotty’s going to be one of the top 10 golfers. One of these guys is going to be one of the top 10 golfers. So that’s two out of your projection. We can play up to two other golfers and there’s no certainty with any of the other golfers here that they’ll finish inside the top 10. At least not to me. I would not even put 100% that one of these guys would finish inside top. There’s 10 of them that I’ve selected. I wouldn’t put 100%. But I do like a lot of these guys. I don’t mind playing Bud Collie. I don’t mind playing Novak. I’ll take a flyer on Michael Kim this week. I don’t really I’ve never really played him at all this whole year. He had a pretty good start to the year and I still didn’t play him. Uh I do like Nick Taylor. I don’t like Justin or JT Poston. I don’t like Brian Harmon. I really don’t even like uh Robert McIntyre at this golf course. I do like Ben Griffin. I like Harris English. I like Matt Fitzpatrick. But yeah, anyways. Okay. So, that’s going to be it for the bucket uh the bucket system. I’m going to go ahead and clear out all of these. We’re going to get into marquee tea times, but we’re going to do roll call number two. Roll call number two. I’m going to make real easy for you guys. I just want you to type the number one in the chat. That’s e that’s easy. We don’t need to select a golfer. We don’t need to do anything. Just type in the number one. Numero uno. This will be roll call number two. What’s going on, Nathan? Nice to see you in the chat. Lombardi Lee, I I don’t know if I said hi to you. I I I saw you in the chat. Say hi to everyone. And everyone say hi back. Yeah, if I can get up to 25 likes, I’ll give out five memberships. Five YouTube memberships. Brian John, what’s going on, Brian? All right, let’s see here. I have some some catching up to do on chat. So, as you guys are putting all that stuff in here, okay. Uh, I’m going all the way back up to what Nate Albert said because I do remember I said he’s like some lower value guys like 78K range. Would you bet Oshay like a top 20? I don’t sure. The only thing that I I’m concerned about Ash is why did he withdraw from last week’s event? If it’s an illness, no problem. If it’s an injury, don’t like that. Burger’s been talked up all week. Good to know, Dave. I honestly have not consumed any content this week. I’ve not had the opportunity to. Russell Henley too cheap for his upside at $10,000. That’s hard to I don’t know, man. That’s hard to say. And it’s weird because if Russell Henley was like $9,800, I’d say, “Yeah, you’re right.” And then what’s the difference of 200 bucks? So yeah, it’s an interesting conversation with Russell Henley. Who knew we were going to have that type of conversation this year? He He hasn’t really played that much golf. It’s crazy. Yeah, that’s what exactly what you just said. Russell Henley hasn’t played much, but when he does, he’s elite. That’s right. He is because his name has been out of the golf filtering system. People might not forget his his absolute winning upside. Yeah. AJ goes, “Love Henley always.” One tote has Henley as a core play. Another tote has him says he’s overpriced as Dave Dean. Yeah, I kind of just said both of those things without reading anything what you guys just said. Oh, yeah. Uh, he rarely plays is my only problem with Russell, but he is top-notch iron player and approach because his form is always questioned, but I love his elite short short game. Exactly. Both of my 6Ks or 6K are in this bucket. We’re talking about the last year one bucket, I imagine. Bizzle, who are they? He said Rose and Greo. That’s what they are. I love the talent. It’s just that he doesn’t play consistently enough for him to be one of the top tier go-to golfers all all time or all the time. However, I really think he’s my favorite DFS player this week. And that’s Wheels up saying that about Russell uh Henley. Your 6K golfers are Im and Etavveria. I do like Etchavaria. Looked good last week, says Jim. Uh John Bizzle, especially that round two, says wheels up. I’ve always loved him. I’m slappy for him. Yeah. You know what? He did play well last week. I I have no issues there. I’ve stayed away this year and it’s saved me money. This bucket has three of my golfers in it. Wheels up goes. Supers made me so much it makes up for my misses. I’m like $2 profitable for the year, which is better than negative. Uh the NFL is my money maker for theor crafting on my podcast and the prize pools plus free contests. NFL season is the money-making time. Golf is a fun sweat, though, because it goes from Thursday to Sunday. I agree. Still good. Busy plus tired this week, Eric? Yep, I am. Yeah, I I had a long weekend. It was a fun weekend. It was a long weekend, but we’re feeling okay. We’re all right. All right, let’s move on to the marquee tea times. You can follow along with me on the cheat sheet. This is always available to you guys. Uh again, go to the website sweetspotdfs.com. There’s a link of for it down in the description. Fantasy tools, click on cheat sheet, scroll to the bottom, click cheat sheet, and the marquee tea times. AJ love paging AJ Love. Paging AJ Love. uh marquee t times group uh uh column o group rank is what it’s called. Group rank is where you will find the marquee t times on the cheat sheet. But I’m going to my sheet. Sort that from a to z. We have golfers that are grouped up in pairs of two. I should say we have groupings of golfers paired up in two sums. So it’s two sums. Some people always ask the question, are there still marquee tea times if there are um only two golfers in it? And the answer is yes, there’s still marquee tea times. In fact, I actually kind of uh I kind of like it more. I do like it more. So, so I don’t even know if group one is actually group one. Let me double check. I use the the ranking onto the side and it’s that’s a cumulative score, but let’s see what the score is here. That’s 2131. This is 2191. So Scotty Sheffler technically is in group one. 2034. Yeah, 2131. 2191. So I’m going to flip this on my side. You guys can flip it on your side if you want. Actually, I I’ll I’ll make the update on the cheat sheet since I’m there. My automated process counts the score here. So Scotty and Straa, you add that up, that’s 21. Henley and and and Thomas, that’s nine. So they’re ranking together equals nine. So that’s how my process sorts them out is that would be group one. But Sheffller’s so good that he alone, he’s a 100 point here. Hold on. Uh, if I sort by ranking, check this out. He’s 100 points better than Justin Thomas, who’s my second ranked golfer in this field. That Yeah, that makes sense to me. I I I have no issues with it either. No issues with it either. So, it’s up to you guys. If you think group one is Henley and Thomas, so be it. If you don’t, that’s okay, too. But here are the marquee tea times. I will be asking you guys to build me lineup or not build me lineups. Jesus. I’ll be asking you guys to select two to four golfers from the marquee tea times. And really, it’s two to four groups from the marquee tea times and you only select one golfer from them. So, if you’re already going to ask me, hey, do the same rules apply for the marquee tea times when it’s two sums versus threesomes? Yes. Yes, it does. I would I would imagine if I was a betting man, if I went and looked at the stats, you will actually find more so that only one golfer from a marquee tea time in two sums. I shouldn’t say one golfer. How am I How am I trying to say this? When there are only two sums, two to four golfers being the marquee ts, you’ll see that more often when it is two sums versus three sums, and it’s already a high rate for threesomes as it is. So, I got no issue when it comes to these two sums. Um, but your first group is Sheffller and Septraka. So, remember when I was creating lineups earlier and I was putting Straa with Sheffller? Can do it. If we’re following the sweet spot process, you select one of these guys and that’s it. Group two, Justin Thomas, Russell Henley. Well, if there was ever a question, who should we pick? JT or Henley, this just solidifies it. Like, if you ain’t going with Scotty or even if you are going with Scotty, like my my dummy lineup has Scotty and Russell Henley in it, it can work out that way. Could also probably work out that you have Justin Thomas in there with with Scotty Sheffller because they’re only $200 apart. So, it could work out. That’s group two. Group three is Ben Griffin, Harris English. Group four is Ludvig Oberg and Bobby Mack, Robert McIntyre. Uh, group group five is Tommy Fleetwood and JJ Spawn. You remember JJ Spawn, the US Open winner? Isn’t that crazy? Caz, look at you guys breaking the rules. I didn’t ask for your your golfers right now. I said I was going to. Uh, group six is six is Windam Clark and Jordan Spe. That’s an interesting group. I like that group. I would not be surprised if one of those dudes finishes inside the top 10. Uh, group seven, Keegan Bradley and Maverick McNeely. Group eight, Patrick Canley and Chris Gotup. Oo, that’s a spicy group, too. I like that group. Ah, fat fingered. You ever get like that trigger finger where it just accidentally clicks your mouse? Like it’s like a cramp or something? That’s what happened right there. [Music] Okay. Yeah. Chris Godup and Patrick Hley. Interesting group. I like it. It’s very spicy. Then the last group is Matsyama and Brian Harmon. Wow, what a That might be the most boring group to watch. Matsyama and Harmon if you were like a spectator to follow those guys around. Couldn’t imagine. Here’s the thing, too, that I I’m not positive about. I don’t know if these guys rete after round two. I doubt they do. But if they did rete after round two, I don’t know if I like looking at something like this. I don’t think they do. I’m pretty sure they don’t. Could be wrong. I know the tour championship they do that, but I’m not positive. I don’t think they do. Nah, that that would be too much work. I’m pretty sure that’d be too much work. So, I don’t think that’s what they do for the uh the St. Jude. So, okay, these are the groups. Um, I’ve already kind of laid down who I like, and I’m not going to say what my favorite groups are or my favorite golfers from each of these groups are. I’m a big Scotty Sheffller fan, so I’m probably going to play him mixed in with one of these other golfers. So, it’s really up to you guys. What do you like to do? And now, some of you guys cheated, but I will now take your golfer requests to build lineups around. So, choose golfers from the marquee tea times. Two to four somewhere in there. Two to four could be three. 2 4 3 whatever whatever you choose. And I will build lineups around them using um the optimizer matchups are for the first two rounds. Okay. So then that pretty much means that they will still be paired up. [Music] Joanne says, “I like Hoblin and Fitzpatrick, but going to play Scotty and God up.” Oo, Joanne, you’re jumping on the Scotty bandwagon with me, huh? Okay. Well, I will go in this order. We can go ahead and pin John Bizzle to the top. Let’s go ahead and do this. Change the screen so I can put the timer on the board. John wants Harmon, English, Rose, and Gero. Holy crap, dude. I don’t even know if I’m going be able to build a lineup that way. I’m be honest with you. That’s too many cheap price uh golfers. And if they are all of the marquee tea times, so let’s see. Brian Harmon’s one. Harris English, that’s two. Harris English, Justin Rose. He’s not one, so that’s that’s okay. Rose and Gilo Ameliano Gilo. Okay. Whoa, I forgot to update this. Okay, turn the music up, right? There we go. Love it. You can get Carmen and GLO. Well, let’s see what this works out. If it does break, then I will kick out Harmon and Glo. The music too loud, by the way? Let me know. I don’t need the music to be drowning out everything. Okay, let’s see what the optimizer does just with this. Do we get there? Oh, we can build lineups. Beautiful. Okay. Uh here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to tier this a little bit. Let’s go 75% for these top guys. Let’s go 50% down to 8K. Let’s go 20. Let’s go 15%. For these 7K golfers down to here and let’s go 8%. Here down. This should give us a little diversity when it comes to building lineups. Okay. Timer is on the screen. The first lamp was already built for you, so it’s all good. We get Sheffller, English, Windham Clark, Brian Harmon, Justin Rose, and Glo. See what else we can do with this. [Music] Shoffley, Fitzpatrick, English, Harmon, Rose, Guro. [Music] Next lineup is Sheffller, English McIntyre, Harmon Rose, Greo. That’s pretty good. Sheffller, English, Burger, Harmon, Rose, and Greo. And here’s what I’m going to do. So, I’m going to build five lineups or 3 minutes now that the lineups have been built. Um, is there anybody you want kicked out? Cuz Scotty Sheffller is being picked quite a bit. What? We have them in four lineups. Uh, this is from last week. [Music] Uh, here here are your lineups. Are there golfers you don’t like? It’s Patrick, McIntyre, Burger, Clark, Scotty, Scotty, Scotty, and Xander. You want me to kick out Harmon and Greo? Okay, we can do that. Harmon and Greo. Let’s see what we get. [Music] And you get a lineup of Scotty Sheffler, English Lowry, Kittyama, Pend, and Justin Rose. That’s not terrible. Okay. Five lineups for Mr. Bizzle, [Music] you’re welcome, sir. Let’s load up the next guy. Dave Dean wants Scotty McIntyre and Denny, by the way. Denny McCarthy. We have a signed golf ball. Denny McCarthy. Signed golf ball. If Denny wins this event and you host in the comments after this goes live, not now. Don’t do it now. After this goes live, if you type in Denny McCarthy in the comment section and he wins a golf ball, you are going to be entered into a draw. And by the way, if you had done it already before, those don’t count. That was only for that event. So, for this event, if Denny McCarthy wins, if you want a chance to win that Denny McCarthy golf ball, after this video goes live, type in the comments, Denny McCarthy, and you get an entry into the giveaway. And if if he wins, I’ll I’ll I’ll call a random name. You might be the only person cuz not every week do I have someone that puts in Denny McCarthy in the chat or in the in the comment section. So, throwing that out there. I have a Denny McCarthy signed golf ball. All right. So, it’s Scotty. Okay. Actually, let’s remove this. Now we put in Scotty Sheffller, McIntyre and Denny, Robert the Bruce. All right, timer is on. I’m going to do the same thing I did with John. I’ll build you four quick ones and then that fifth one we can we can tinker and think about. We get Scotty, Ben Griffin, Bobby Mack, Denny McCarthy, Jason Day, and Bud Collie. I do like Bud Collie. Lineup number two, Scotty Shaffler, Ben Griffin, McIntyre, McCarthy, Glover, and then Min Woo Lee. Interesting. Super interesting. Next lineup is Sheffler, Griffin, McIntyre, McCarthy, Henrith, and Gerard. Do you like Griffin? Because now Griffin is what? Those three lineups, and I didn’t even lock him in. Let’s do an anti-Griffin lineup. The next one is Sheffller, Cory Connors, McIntyre, McCarthy, Kittyama, and Eric Fenroyan. I don’t mind that. All right, Dave, let’s do some some uh some thinking here. Do we like what we’ve seen? Is there somebody we want to add to this that has not been added to it yet? So, obviously, you’ve got Sheffller, McIntyre, and Denny loaded in there. The the bottom two guys are going to be pretty random, but it’s been pretty constant. You’ve either now have had Ben Griffin or a Cory Connors in the AK range. Do you want to see somebody else? Do you want to see an AK golfer that has not yet been chosen to be added to these lineups? Maverick. Okay. Mav McNeely. Let’s go ahead and put a Mav McNeely in there and see what the optimizer does. It breaks. I don’t know why it breaks, but it does. Uh, while I do this, go ahead and maybe choose another golfer. Oh, you want to know why it’s it’s four last year ones? That’s why Matt McNeely doesn’t work in this in this group. Let’s choose someone else that’s not a last year one. Aaron Ry. [Music] Okay, [Music] still breaks. Um, I’m going to kick out Connors. See what happens. Maybe it’s just limited. We can’t really uh select many. It’s a pretty good lineup. I actually really like this lineup a lot. You get Sheffller, Godup, McIntyre, McCarthy, Fowler, and Graserman. Um, but is there one other golfer you want to see in a lineup? Or is this good enough? We can try one more. I’ll give you one more. One more chance. Actually, you know what? Um, let’s try something. Hold on. Let’s try something. Maybe there’s an ownership issue here. Maybe there’s an ownership issue. I don’t think so, but maybe. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why did that screw up? [Music] All good. Okay. Yeah, that doesn’t help. Okay, sounds good. We tried. We did our best. We did our best. All right, moving on. Moving on up. Next one is Did I miss my spot? Oh, wheels up. Nicovaria Henley and Ben Griffin. Okay, this should be easy. Benjamin. Benjamon. Uh, Eno etcharia. All right, Scotty. 30% ownership got her up 25%. Is that what the the forecasted Scotty’s only going to be 30%. That’s insane. All right. Insane in the way that it shouldn’t be that’s not high enough. should be higher. All right, here we go. Logan, Henley, Morawa, Burns, Burns, Griffin, Glover, and Etcha. 10 98876. Interesting. Morawa, Henley Burns, Bradley Griffin, Windham Clark, and Etcheavoria. Three AK golfers. Interesting. I don’t know if I would go more than one lineup with three AK golfers, but we’re really getting to the 10, 28s, seven, and a six. Crazy. Henley Mora. Did we just do this one? No, this one has Ricky Fowler in it instead of Lucas Glover, but it is this. It’s this exact lineup. any come across those issues? How do we feel about Burns? I like Burns. Do you like Burns? Do you like Morawa? If we can cut those guys out and make lineup building a diversify lineup building, but if you don’t care for diversifying lineup building, then it’s not a big deal. Ooh, Henley, Canley, Burns, Griffin, McNeely, and Etchavaria. That’s a pretty sassy lineup. Last one. Oh, you’re fine with that. Okay. Oh, hold on. Never mind. Is there one other golfer you would like to see in a lineup? I mean, this lineup is pretty sexy. Xander, Henley, Griffin, Kittyama, Pendre, and Etravia. You like Colin and Burns. Cool. This is lineup five. We’re either good with it or if you’d like to see someone else in a lineup, um, let me know and we can try to make it work out. Dave Dean says fits in English or 20%. That’s crazy, too, man. I don’t mind English. Probably not going to do fits. Sunjm. Okay. Sunjm getting added to the fray and it doesn’t break. It’s Xander, Henley, Griffin, Kittyama, Sunj, and Etcharia. I’m curious to see what that would look like without Kittyama in it. Pendreth. Uh, I’m not really that big of a something crazy. That’s pretty good. I like this lineup a lot. Xander, Henley, Griffin, McNeely, Sun. Okay, I’m actually going to save that one over the last one. That’s for my own personal use. So, uh, yeah. I only wanted to see what it would look like for myself, but those are lineups for Mr. Wheels up. Thank you, sir. So, Tim Tulos, we have him on. He is next. He wants Sheffller, Godup, and McNeely. There we go. I like that. Sheffler got her up and McNeely Cuckoo Kachu. All right, here we go. Tim tip throw tiptoe through the Tim Tulos. Uh Sheffller got her up. McNeely, Kittyama, and Penri. All all both those guys right there. Boom. Boom. Boom. and Max Grazerman. I like that. That’s pretty good. Sheer got her up. Harry Hall, McNeely, Shane Lowry, and EVR. I like that. Sheffller got her up. Clark McNeely, Jay, and Budcolie. Did I have JD in the other Budcoli lineup down here? Yeah. What the hell? Uh, no. I don’t want that. Go away. Don’t be ruining my Bud Collie lineups with Jason Day. Yuck. I like this lineup. Sheer got her up, Windham Clark, McNeely, Sunjm, and Ryan Gerard. I like Ryan Gerard this week. Sheffller, Morakawa, Godup, McNeely, Bud Collie, and Cam Davis. If you wanted a spicy lineup, there’s one right there. That’s a 1098766. I could see that working out this week. I like that lineup. That is a spicy Amita ball. Uh, okay. Up to you now. Tim Tulos, is there a golfer you’d like to see added to this lineup? Or if you’ve seen a golfer too much, would you like one removed, which I don’t think that’s really the case, but who else might you want added to this group? I had M, Ben, Edavor, Tommy, Russell, Straa, handbuilt, so comparing that to the sweet spot was interesting. What was Oh, so Tommy wasn’t chosen. You’re saying like Ben Griffin. So this lineup right here. So I obviously Xander was in there. You went 1088 or you went 10 9 88 6 m. Oh, 66. You had two sixes. So, you went 10 88 10 9 8866. Okay. You just skipped the 7k range. Got it. I don’t know if Tim is here. Tim might not be here. I didn’t I didn’t even ask if he’s ready. Oh, he said ready. Tim, I already built you your lineups, dude. This is the last one. I I I asked, “Is there a golfer, one golfer you want to see in your lineups?” Oh, he might be behind [Music] Tim, if you’re live with me now, these four lineups are yours. [Music] Heat. Hey. Hey. Hey. Tim is entering lineups. That’s fine. Lombardi says, “I’m here, Eric.” Good. Good to know. You must be on deck. All right. Um, just to not Oh, that was a that was a duplicate. My bad. Hall. Harry Hall. Okay, there we go. And here we go. Sheer got her up. Harry Hall, McNeely, Shane Lowry. There we go. Hey, I’m a fan of Shane Lowry this week. Usually I’m not, but there’s a there’s a Harry Hall lineup for you. Perfect. All right, Tim. Appreciate you. And this is just a a little reminder for everybody. Make sure you click the live button down there to the left. Right down right down there. Click live. Make sure you’re live with me. So when I’m building your lineups, you can tell me if you like certain golfers or not. Okay. Uh, Lombardi Lee, you are not next. AJ Love is next. AJ wants Clark and McNeely. [Music] Clark and McNeely. Okay, AJ, are you you ready? AJ Love. Paging AJ Love. [Music] have no fear. I am here. Okay, here we go. Sounds good, Tim. All right, first lineup AJ is Justin Thomas, Colin Morawa, Ben Griffin, Windham Clark, Matt McNeely, and Kurt Kit Ayama. Next lineup after that is Justin Thomas, Cory Connors, Ben Griffin, Harry Hall, Windham Clark, and Mav McNeely. Interesting. All these lineups are starting with Justin Thomas, not Scotty Sheffller. Is this the same one? Yep. So, Harry Hall, I imagine a lot of this has to do with ownership. Maybe not. Everything seems fine. Yeah. I mean, everything’s okay. Who out of these golfers do you want me to uh get rid of? Cory Connors, Ben Griffin, Harry Hall, or JT? Those out of those four golfers, who do you want me to remove? Jati. We’re going to kick out Jati. Now we go. Fleetwood, Morawa, Matsayyama, Clark, McNeely, Taylor, Pendrth. Wow, that is unique. Next lineup after that is even more balanced. Morokawa, Matsayyama, Honors, Griffin, Clark, McNeely. Okay, you get one more lineup. Who do we want to add? Who do we want to get rid of, AJ? Not so much get rid of. Is there someone you want to get rid of? Is there someone you want to add? Let me know. This is your last lineup. Who’s the one guy you want to add? [Music] Add Schmid. Motty Schmmeid. Mr. Schmid. $6,200. Who will be added with Motty Schmid? Scotty Schoffler. That’s what I like to see. Scotty, Ben Griffin, Windham Clark, McNeely, Jay. Here, I’m going to do this again. Uh, let’s I’m I’m all for giving anti-Jay lineups. So, let’s see what we can do. Sheffller, Harris, English, Clark, McNeely, Grazerman, and Schmidt. Yeah, I’d much rather have that than the JD lineup. But hey, JD is there for you if you want them. I don’t like them. All right, AJ, those were your lineups. Now, we’re on to Lombardi Lee, who wants Hideki, Windham, and Chris Kirk. Okay. Byron said he’s third in shot distance 150 to 200. Okay. I don’t know the relevance of that, but if there’s a lot of approaches here, which would be interesting if there’s more than five approaches like that at this event that he’ll be hitting from there, but maybe maybe that’s how the par 3es are. Lombardi is here. Okay, here we go. Lombardi, we got your lineups loaded or your uh your three golfers loaded. We start with Justin Thomas and go to uh Ludvig Oberg Hideki Clark Kirk Gerard Ryan Gerard. That’s a pretty sweet lineup. Next lineup is JT Matsyama English Clark Lowry and Chris Kirk. Okay, I like that lineup. 1088 777. Super balanced with this one. Morawa, Cley, Matsyama, Griffin, Clark, Kirk. Solid. And then it sticks. Okay. So, who do you want removed? Lombardi Lee. Who do you want removed from the golfers? We have Morocawa, Kentlay were added. Um, Ben Griffin. So, out of those three guys, who do you want removed? [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Ben Griffin. [Music] I actually forgot about this. Forgot about all the sound effects. All right, next lineup is Justin Thomas, Sam Burns, Matsyama, Windham Clark, Chris Kirk, and Kittyama. Now, Lombardi Lee, who do you want added? What What is one golfer you have not yet seen from your lineups that you want added into your Let’s just see if the optimizer picks them. [Music] You’ve had a lot of Justin Thomas. You’ve had a lot of Colin Morawa. Not a lot, but JT is kind of your the main dude in your lineups. Who do you want added that hasn’t been added yet? Oh, you got to get him that hawk tour and spit on that thing. You get me zone. You’re going to die, clown. [Music] Ammy Fleetwood [Music] All right, your Tommy Flewood is Flewood, Morawa, Matsyama, Clark, Kirk, and Taylor Penrith. Do we already have a Taylor Penrith lineup in there? We do not. Okay, you get a little Penri action. All righty. Thank you, Lombardi Elite. Joanne, are you still in chat? Joanne, let me know if you’re still in chat. It’s uh it’s pretty late where you are, so I doubt it, but if you are, wonderful. You’re going Scotty and Godup, huh? We’re going the the high ownership route here. We’ll give uh Joanne 20 seconds to uh answer and if Oh, she is here. Wonderful. All right, Joanne. Here we go. Timer’s on the on the screen. Let’s build some lineups. We go Sheffller got her up Jordan Spry Glover and Sunjm. What a lineup right away. What a lineup. You know what? I Let’s do it. Haven’t done it yet. [Music] No, Joannne’s in Florida. Sheffler, Griffin, Godup, Spith, Glover, and EVR. We get two Jordo lineups in there. That is interesting. I don’t hate it. Don’t hate it. Uh, Sheffller Moracawa, Godup, Glover, Fenale, Dree, 1098766. All right. You know what? We get two in a row. That’s pretty good. Next lineup is Sheffller, Godup, JJ Spawn, Nap Day, and Fe now. Okay, that’s interesting. So, um, you said that you like Havlin and Fitzpatrick. Let’s try to do something here. Can we put a Havlin lineup in here? If we can’t, we’ll try Fitzpatrick. We can I don’t know how you feel about this, Joanne, but you get Sheffller, Havlin, Godup, Arman, Collie, and Cam Davis. Now, maybe you don’t like Cam Davis. Let’s see what we can do without him. We get Sheffller, Havlin, Godup, Kittyama, Hughes, and Jagger. Let’s try one more. What’s up, Shalley Kart? Uh Sheffller, Havin, Godup, Glover, Johnny Vegas, and Matt Hughes. Okay, I like that lineup. Uh let’s try one with Fitzpatrick. [Music] We can’t we can’t do Fitzpatrick with any of those golfers that are uh that are anchored in lineups. Maybe maybe Sunjam can help us out here. You cannot might be too expensive. Uh, you said you like Hoblin and Fitzpatrick. I’ll give you one. Uh, just Hoblin, Fitzpatrick lineup just to see what that looks like. Shod car comes in with Scotty Bernzie. Uh, Fitzpatrick, Hoblin, Matsyama, Griffin, Penri, and Ricky Fowler. Okay. Yeah, you don’t get much different. Okay. All right, Joanne. Those were lineups for you. Moving on, go Joanne to Nathan Johnson. Nathan, are you here? He wants Oberg and Henley. This is going off the cuff. [Music] [Music] Who was your favorite duo so far? I got a couple lineups that I I highlighted. I don’t remember how these were. Let’s see. It was Chris Goddarup and Scotty. So, this lineup was an interesting one because Cam Davis is very cheap. There’s two cheap 6K golfers. And then there was this lineup. Um I think my duo in a way, Shalley Carden, it’s kind of the same as yours. Like there’s Scotty in the first Marquy Tea Time. And then I actually I didn’t mind pairing him with with Henley. Here’s my uh this is my my dummy lineup right here. It’s Scotty Sheffler with Russell Henley and then I can put Kie M Lowry and Schmid together. Like I don’t know how this works with the sweet spot process, but um I’m digging that lineup or that at least that duo. But yeah, I guess for me, Henley’s fine. If I was to like be really smart about this, I probably would want to from the marquee tea times go Scotty. Maybe Ludvig, maybe not. I actually don’t mind Windham Clark, but I don’t think I would actually anchor around those guys. Maybe Patrick Hantlay. Maybe my favorite duo might be Scotty Sheffller Canley from the Marquee Tea Times. Like there are names I like. I like Chris Godup in that same group. I don’t mind playing Matsyama, McNeely over Bradley, Clark over Jordo, Fleetwood over JJ, Oberg over McIntyre, um Harris English. Oo, I don’t know. Ben Griffin, Harris English, they both kind of the same to me. And then I guess it goes from there. I don’t know. But Sam Burns is in group 10. He technically, let’s see, was that 40? Okay, never mind. I thought that he was tied. I thought those two guys were tied 30 44. Thought they were tied for group nine, but maybe not. [Music] Oh, they’re not in the same Never mind. They’re not in the same game. It’s Sam Burns and Justin Rose. Okay. Yeah. So I think they together 44. Yeah. So they tied Matsyama and Harmon for group nine. They could have been in the Marquet times, but the tiebreaker comes down to their score altogether. And the score of Matsama and Harmon were over Burns and Rose. So I would I also don’t mind putting Sheffller with Burns. So that that could be a top duo of mine also. Anyways, Nathan Johnson says, “No, Colin. Just right off the rip, do not give me Colin Morawa.” Okay. I don’t even know if he you would have been selected. Okay. Nathan says, “No calling.” We’re on Nathan. Let’s do this. Let’s do this. Here we go, Nathan. The hell is this music? Such slow BS. All right, first lineup is Henley, Oberg, Matsyama, Griffin. We go 10 98 Kittyama and Collie 76. Okay, taking no chances. Henley Oberg, Matt Syama, Ben Griffin, Penth, and Tony Fenel. Henley, Oberg, Matsyama, Griffin, Lowry, and Schmid. Oo. All right. So, that’s three Matsyama lineups. Are you okay with that, or do you want me to remove Matsyama from the lineups? A lot of Matsyama. Here, I’ll give you the opportunity to get rid of somebody. And then the next lineup after this, I’m going to ask you one golfer to add to your lineup. [Music] Add burger for the fifth and kick it. Okay, [Music] look at this. Burger gets added just naturally, man. Henley, Oberg, Griffin, Oberg, McCarthy, and Fowler. What are the chances, look at you, man. Good luck, Joanne. Nice to see you. AJ says, “My sweet spot subscription just processed.” Awesome, man. Appreciate you. Henley, Oberg, Burns, Griffin Day, and EVR. Okay, there we go. That’s another different lineup, but like Burger was the next dude that came on. Didn’t even have to add him. That was natural. So, I think we got to highlight that. Plus, Denny McCarthy’s in that lineup. I’m like, actually, I’m liking that lineup quite a bit. Very cool. Very cool. All right. You are welcome, Nathan. Did I I did I just get through everybody? I have one more to do and that’s Shalley Carden. Is Schmid playing solo? He is. Shalley Carden. He is. I think I’m I think everybody that that requested a lineup got one except for Shelly Harden. Did I miss anybody? Anybody that’s out there, let me know. Did I miss you guys? You think that’s an advantage going off first, too? Actually, yeah, I do. If you’re going to play showdown, I think that’s great cuz So, I if you’ve golfed, you kind of know this. Um, playing by yourself, you can get into whatever rhythm you want to get into. However, sometimes we might move too fast. That’s the only issue that comes with playing on our own is playing too fast, not taking your time to think out your shots. Whereas, if you play with a competitor, sometimes you’re forced to like take your time because you can’t hit while they’re hitting or, you know, you’re not supposed to. So, it will naturally slow people down. The only issue is if people play too fast and they’re if they’re um if their fault is to play too fast, then that’s where they’ll get hurt. But most of the time, like if you remember Wesley Bryan back in the day, he played the fastest round on tour because he was he he just is like, I’m going to. He was a solo guy. I think he shot like four or five under playing his own golf ball and he was literally trying to run to play the fastest round of golf he possibly could. Um, and he played good golf. I don’t think he shot the lowest round of golf, but um, it’s pretty good, honestly. So, Okay. So, I’m going to take it that I asked, “Did I miss anybody?” And nobody said, “You missed me.” Shalley Carden is the last person to build lineups for, which is fine. We’re at two and a half hours. I don’t plan on being live any longer. Um, but that’s the case. Shalley Cardon, you’re the last guy, man. Sheffller and Sammy Biscuits. Here we go. First lineup is Sheffller, Burns, Bobby Mack, Kit Ayama, Pender, and Davis Riley. I Ooh, Davis Riley’s was I was talking about this during the uh course and tournament information segment that if you’re going to put a lineup together and I also did this during the pass optimal GPUing lineups, you know, if we put a Sheffller lineup together, Riley was like the first person I went to. So, I kind of like this. I don’t like that Riley is getting kicked out right away cuz I rather play him over Bobby Mack and the rest of those guys. But now we get Matty Schmid. Look at this. I like this whole full circle stuff. We did it with Nathan with Burger and now we’re doing it with you with Schmid. And this is a fantastic line. I like this lineup a lot. Um, we were talking about most common lineups. 1088 776 is a very common lineup for Scotty Shefflleresque or no for playoff for playoffs. 1088766 is a common lineup build. I am digging that lineup. That’s a really good lineup. Sheffler Burns Griffin Fowler Collie in Vegas. That’s fine. Do you like Ben Griffin? Would you say that you must find the quote unquote sweet spot when it comes to pacing between slow and fast swing time? Yeah, I do actually. I mean, it’s funny the uh coming up with this channel name, I wanted a word that meant precise and I was trying to think of a word that means precise in golf. bullseye came up. Um flush like flushing it or um whatever. But the the thing that came to mind was like hit the sweet spot. Just find the sweet spot. Hit the sweet spot. And it’s like there are so many taglines you can do with sweet spot. So then I looked up like who else had Sweet Spot and there actually is a show called The Sweet Spot um a YouTube channel actually called the Sweet Spot and it’s like damn it somebody has it but they don’t have Sweet Spot as one word and I was like sweet spot DFS all as one word is fine to me. Sweet spot DFS has three words is also fine for me, but I don’t know how it would play with the sweet spot or whatever. So, it’s all good. You like Griffin? Cool. [Music] And I’m I’ll give you some time back since I’m just yammering on about other things. Sheffler Burns, Harmon, Fowler, Grazerman, and Gerard. Okay, 108, two sevens and two sixes. That’s not bad. Now, for this last one, uh, Shai Carden, who do you want added? This is what I’ve been doing with everybody. Who would you like added to your lineup that we haven’t seen yet? Here are your lineups. We have Ricky Fowler in there twice. Ben Griffin’s in there twice. Who do you want added to your lineup that you have not yet seen? And we’ll see if we can make it work out. [Music] Okay. Um, Schmid again. Okay, let’s do I’ll open up Schmid. Maybe he’ll be selected naturally, but let’s put Mad McNeely in there. Jacob Bridgeman and Jason Day. I mean, hey, here’s a lineup. If you like it, you like it. I don’t. And Ricky Fowler showing up so much. That’s crazy. Uh, this one’s fine. Sheffler, Burns, Harry Hall, McNeely, Sam Stevens, and Cam Davis. I’m gonna try one more for Schmid. We don’t get it, but we get Steven. Okay, hold on. Uh, I’ll bring back Jagger. That’s too much Fowler. I don’t mind Fowler this week, but if I’m building lineups for you guys, I don’t want the same loser showing up time and time. Uh, okay. How did Patch Rogers make the playoffs, by the way? Isn’t that crazy? I’m going save that one and just see if I can build one more that might have Schmid in it. There it is. Oh, let me get rid of Harry Hall. If If you like this one, wonderful. That built you a great lineup. But if you don’t, then you don’t. That’s Sheffler, Burns, Hall, McNeely, Schmid, and Jagger. I don’t like Harry Hall at this event. I don’t know why. I just don’t. There you go. There’s a Schmid lineup. This is Okay, this is the one. I like this one. Sheffler, Burns, McNeely, Lowry, Minwei, who I don’t really care for, but whatever. And then Motty Schmid. We’ll save that one over the last one cuz I don’t really care for Patrick Rogers or Harry Hall. There you go. Cool. All right, guys. Are there any questions before I take off? Those were great. G8 lineups. I will be live tomorrow night for the YouTube members. Uh 900 p.m. I think I’ll go live. Yeah, 9:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. I’ll be live. I was telling my girlfriend, “How did the bottom six guys make the playoffs?” I don’t know. All right, ladies and germs. Dave, you are welcome, sir. Uh, Shelly Carden, you should check the beginning of the stream. I did some updates to the reports that I’m building. You might find interesting. You might find interest. Maybe not. I find them interesting. Go check out the beginning of the stream. It was like right after my intro. I I started talking about the new filters that I’m adding to the website. So, might be interest of you. Maybe not. Figured I’d throw it out there. See you Wednesday. I’ll be at work, but we’ll make it happen. All right, man. Appreciate you. All right. So, I haven’t seen anything. I’ll rewatch. Perfect. I haven’t seen anything from anybody asking any questions. If you do want to reach out to me right there, contact information. Otherwise, X works for me. And if you want, become a member on YouTube. I will be live tomorrow night going over a bit more nitty-gritty stuff, trying to find the answers, trying to find the sweet spot. That’s all I have for you guys. So, thank you all for watching. Please leave a like, comment, subscribe on your way out, and I will see you in the next one. All right, bye.
