GolfChatUk Fantasy League News: 'hogie' Edges Field in Dubai Desert Dash!

'hogie' Edges Field in Dubai Desert Dash!

The mad dash to the finish line saw hogie leaning over the tape to edge Mav for his first GCUK Fantasy League win while Davie cozied up to LadyPutt to share third place. The point differential that gave hogie the win was the fact that all six of his picks made the cut. Lee Westwood's failure to take the Dubai trophy cost a number in the league to falter at the end but ultimately was not the determining factor for the fantasy league win. Rubbing added salt into the wound for Mav is that he had 5 of 6 picks make the cut and would have won the tournament except for his choice of Alexander Noren from Category B who failed to make it to the weekend. The league's current table leader, oldparwin, couldn't fight the 'royal crown' jinx factor and ended up dead last despite a desperate plea to the gods:

And more positive news for the fledgling league is there have been four different winners for the first four league events. Again, nobody chose the low and worse scores for Round 4 and nobody chose Federico Colombo, who finished last for those finishing the tourney. The next event finds the league on the opposite side of the globe and into LaLa Land for The L.A. Open, as it is always referred to in SoCal golfing circles. Attitudes, sunglasses and bling-bling putters required.

Why o, why o didn't I stick with Kjeldsen. Switched him to useless Younes as I went to post.

I told you Venice that there would be a problem. Can't believe OPW prevented me from coming last.

Cheers Venice!

I'm polishing up my bling-bling for the next event.

Cozied up with LadyPutt works for me and T3 is a good result.

I'd better keep an eye open for LordPutt though!

I think I might become one of those god licking assholes, now to see it would get me extra points, naw bugger that, it really was a crap week for me, still there is always next week

Congrats hogie!

Folks, don't let this hogie cat fool you. Not only is he leading our league table but he is also currently number one for the Yahoo fantasy league initiated from the 'dark side'. Another feather in the GCUK Fantasy League and an even greater reason to never keep our eyes off of this hogie cat... especially when in a dark alley.

He's not only #1 in the dark side Yahoo league, he's #1 in the Golf chat one too!

So many #1 hits! Was he the one dressed up as Lady GaGa the other night on the Grammy Awards telecast?

No that was LJ

Yikes... what are all those circles on my back?
