Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club PGA DFS Picks

This week we’re back on the east coast in Greensboro, NC, where JT Poston will be defending his 2019 win. Sedgefield Country Club is one of the easier courses on the PGA Tour. It is a par 70, 7100 yards designed by Donald Ross played on Bermuda greens. The course has only three par 4’s that measure over 450 yards with a bogey average of 19%. And that’s about it. Holes 5, 8, 9, 13, 15 and 16 have a 25-50% chance in smashing birdies. The key is not ending up in a fairway bunker off the tee, this is when accuracy will come into play this week. But in general this event will be a birdie fest. Alright, let’s get to it.

Important Stats:

• Strokes Gained Approach
• Strokes Gained Off The Tee – Driving Accuracy
• Birdie or Better %
• Par 4 Scoring 400-450 yards
• Strokes Gained: Putting

Cash Play

• Webb Simpson ($11200) – One narrative that’s going to be on replay is the following “Webb Simpson named his daughter after this course” so this is a pretty special course to him. Not only based on that narrative though. In the last 3 years Webb has finished 2nd twice and 3rd in 2017. Lastly, Webb is ranked 4th in birdie average, 11th on APP and 31st in driving accuracy.
• Abraham Ancer ($9700) – Ancer has been having an amazing year and he’s actually ranked 1st in my model. He’s ranked 2nd in bogey avoidance, 6th in BoB%, 6th in Par 4 scoring, 9th OTT and 19th in APP. He also has some course history here missing the cut last year but finishing 24th in 2018.
• Harris English ($9300) – Bermuda specialist Harris English returns to the Wyndham Championship – he’s finished here 39th in 2019, 11th in 2018, 50th in 2017, 46th in 2016 and 31st in 2015. Harris gains 0.4 strokes in putting in this surface and in the last 5 events he’s gained 1.7 strokes on APP and 2.8 T2G. He’s also ranked 1st in bogey avoidance, 9th in putting and 10th in Par 4: 400-450 yards.

Sad to see the last major pass us by, but that doesn't mean PGA is done. We have a weak field this weekend, hopefully we can find some value using our PGA spreadsheet.

Here it is: http://www.jockstrapsports.com/pga/pga-weekly-spreadsheet/

They’re sweet, safe, and a handful so let me know if you’re looking for them. Tomorrow they’ll be getting microchipped and then placed with a no-kill shelter if we can’t find the owners.

Any thoughts welcome, please! I am new to the area and want to get a feel for these neighborhoods :)

As per the title, this thread is for discussion of your club or country's 2021.

Tell us how your side has fared this year - from best wins to worst losses, successful signings and utter flops, your biggest achievements and greatest let downs.

Has your club met your expectations for the year, or have they been a let down?

Where does your club stand going into 2022?

The end of the year is the perfect time to take stock and reflect on the time gone by - so share your thoughts!

Hey guys

My roommate and I are considering a move to a property near the West Club Blvd / Sedgefield St area in between Northgate and NCSSM. We're going to check out the area at night ourselves, but would like anyone's advice about this. We've tried to look at crime stats but have only learned there is a fair amount of theft in the past 9 months in the area, but seems like there is not too much violent crime at least.

Is it safe enough during the day as well as at night? W are young females aged 22-25 and look young for our ages - and might come home late at times and have to park around the back side of the building.

Any and all advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello, r/baseball! I’ve been doing some research on Baseball Reference, and I decided to make a post listing which countries have produced the most 100 home run hitters.

According to Baseball Reference, 961 players in Major League history have reached the milestone of 100 home runs. There are members of the club from 19 different countries (counting PR, Aruba, and Curaçao as their own countries). Here’s the list, plus each country’s top home run hitter listed in parentheses.

797 - United States (Barry Bonds)

50 - Dominican Republic (Albert Pujols)

36 - Puerto Rico (Carlos Delgado)

31 - Venezuela (Miguel Cabrera)

16 - Cuba (Rafael Palmeiro)

9 - Canada (Larry Walker)

4 - Panama (Carlos Lee)

3 - Mexico (Vinny Castilla)

2 - Curaçao (Andruw Jones)

2 - Jamaica (Chili Davis)

2 - Japan (Hideki Matsui)

2 - Colombia (Édgar Rentería)

1 - United Kingdom (Bobby Thompson)

1 - South Korea (Shin-Soo Choo)

1 - Aruba (Xander Bogaerts)

1 - Netherlands (Didi Gregorius)

1 - Germany (Max Kepler)

1 - Brazil (Yan Gomes)

1 - Australia (Dave Nilsson)

Another interesting way to break the 961 players down is by continent:

920 - North America (Barry Bonds)

34 - South America (Miguel Cabrera)

3 - Europe (Bobby Thompson)

3 - Asia (Shin-Soo Choo)

1 - Oceania (Dave Nilsson)

A 100 HR hitter has come from every continent except Africa, which has only produced one Major League hitter - Gift Ngoepe of South Africa, who never hit a home run in his 41-game MLB stint. He now plays for the Québec Capitales of the Frontier League. I hope baseball will continue to grow in Africa, and that we’ll see some African countries show up on this list in the coming years.

Any big surprises with these numbers? I know the actual lists here are pretty short, so I tried to fill the post with some additional content to make up for it. I spent way too much time collecting this data, so I hope you enjoy!

I live a few hundred yards down the street from a club. Golf membership is $600/mo, social is $250/mo. Social gets access to the pool but its only open memorial day thru labor day. I golf a few times a year but i'm no good. We have winter here so no golf from Nov thru Mar. I think there is an in-between membership that gets like 10 rounds of golf/year. I'm thinking these would be tough checks to stroke in the middle of winter, unless the social aspect is worth it. My wife & I are 40ish with not much to do during the day when kids are in school.

Hi guys.

We're going on our honeymoon in September to Sedgefield/garden route.

But i don't know the area. Any recommendations for restaurants and stuff to do?

I don't want to just lay on the beach the whole week.

We already booked to walk with elephants and a boat trip to look for seals.

But any other cool stuff?

What Match have you witnessed, where a team completely dominated the the match/series? From defense, to attack, to team selection, and tactics

A few years ago, someone pointed out that the Denver Country Club doesn't pay their fair share in taxes:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Denver/comments/iuqmc9/denver_county_club_doesnt_pay_their_fair_share/

I recently checked the Denver real property map, and it looks like the taxes are about the same, and nothing has changed.

Did anything come of this that I am unaware of? Or is it just another example of another set of rules for the wealthy.

US submitter here, they have about a 50% rejection rate, despite the fact that they are easily identifiable buildings that serve as the social hub of their community. I just don’t get it.

Artist: Lana Del Rey

Album: Chemtrails Over the Country Club

Released: March 19, 2021

Label: Polydor Records & Interscope Records

Stream: Apple Music / Spotify / Tidal / Amazon Music

Background

Lizzie Grant aka Lana del Rey started mentioning the project in August 2019, under the provisional name "White Hot Forever", around the same time Norman Fucking Rockwell was released, announcing it would be a surprise release within the "next 12 or 13 months". She would announce the release of the album for September 5, 2020, in her infamous "question for the culture" Instagram post; however, due to manufacturing issues (and a lot of other things probably being part of the glamorous life of Lana del Rey), the album ended up being released in the first quarter of 2021 instead.

Concept, ideation, and songwriting

The ideation and songwriting process happened simultaneously with the writing of Lana's poetry book, Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass, which she mentioned was a distracting process. In the same interview, she mentions being stressed about the genres of the album, which see her moving away from the polish of Norman Fucking Rockwell, reaching instead for a folkier, more country sound. Straying away from her beloved muse California, she casts her eye towards the Midwest, finding inspiration in the wildness, where "there’s still space to catch that white lightning".

The album follows a circular structure, in which the past informs the present and gives shape to the future; Lana herself described the record as "not so much where I’ve been, but more like where I’m going". Yet, she's always going to bring herself, no matter where she goes. The overarching themes of the album see her pondering about her relationship with fame, from past to present, and where it will lead her; on her desire for normalcy while wanting to follow her wild heart; on moving past relationships to find solace amongst

I've just spent a ridiculous amount of time watching youtube videos about what wealthy people spend their money on. This was one of the few things that piqued my interest. It also struck me as something that might be a little more affordable than the rest. I just wanted to know your thoughts on what your experiences have been like.

Edit - Thanks very much for the responses so far. I just felt I needed to step in to say that I don't idolise the rich. I'm simply curious about the possible benefits of the types of clubs I mentioned.

Thanks.

I’m getting married in February at a county club my fiancé’s parents belongs to. The club has a strict dress code in their dining area, even for events. Jacket, ties and slacks/khakis for men, dresses or slacks/khakis and a blouse for women. Kids are dresses, slacks and nice shirts, no logos.

I put this on the save the date in case it’d be an issue. Keep in mind, it’s not a rule I created. My younger sister is in college, and her standard outfit is basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I told her she didn’t have to wear a dress but slacks or khakis and a nice top. She told me no. I said it was strictly enforced. She said she didn’t care. I told her that it’d mean a great deal to me and I could help her find something comfy. She still refused. I asked why this was so important and she said she thinks dress codes are stupid and she’s not conforming. In the end after constant back and forth, she said she’s not coming. I said that really upset me. We’re very close and I wanted her there.

My mom says I should just change the venue. I told her we can’t with how close the wedding is. My in-laws paid for it and they’d lose their deposit. She told me then I should ask for an exception to be made. The club said no. My mom says I’m forgetting my roots to impress my “fancy” in-laws.

AITA?

Okay, so I have this fantasy that BB and COCC were released as one polished album with absolutely no skips. So let’s imagine that Lana’s label wouldn’t let her release 2 albums in 2021, but 1 album. So she was forced to combine the two with the best of best.

Here’s Mine:

1. White Dress
2. Chemtrails over the Country Club
3. Blue Banisters
4. Tulsa Jesus Freak
5. Arcadia
6. Interlude - The Trio
7. Black Bathing Suit
8. If You Lie Down With Me
9. Let Me Love You Like a Woman
10. Wild at Heart
11. Beautiful
12. Dark but just a Game
13. Dealer
14. Wildflower Wildfire
15. Not all who wonder are lost
16. Yosemite
