Well, as the dust settled Sunday afternoon (and after I realized that I have been calling this tournament the wrong name for 9 months now) in an ironic twist of fate – McMillan emerges to overtake Long at the GreensbRIER! It was just last week where long used his solo pick of Pettersson to steal away what was originally thought to be Nacho’s win, however, after he pointed out that Im an idiot and that he was the solo picker of Pettersson and thus deserved his bonus, he ended up taking that win. So what happens this week? Well, Appleby shoots an unbelievable 59 to win by one stroke, who by the way was a solo pick of McMillan’s. This earned McMillan the 50 point bonus which caused his score to eclipse that of Long. So I guess lesson learned – what comes around goes around in the BDGL. Congrats McMillan on your 3rd victory of the year! That ties you for the lead in that category.

YTD results show Big V still leading with only 2 tournys left. That battle for 3rd place is very, very interesting. I know 3 guys from Gainey that are very tuned into that race.

The battle for last place is even more interesting as it may be possible that a Gleason holder earns the Anchor Award – that has NEVER been done!

4th Quarter results – see YTD comments.

How things change in just 12 hours. Now, Cameron, aka C-Squared, aka The Canadian Sensation, is looking very very strong at the Greensboro! I think the Cam Man wants that 2nd victory!

Rick Miles is looking good currently in 2nd, gaining 130 on Big V so far. YTD Update shows him less than 300 out now.

Rick needs to make ground on the rookie this week because usually, due to no cuts, there isn’t much ground to be made up at next weeks tourny (Bridgestone). But your golfer counts will sure be impacted after this tourny, going into the final major! I love the planning.

4th quarter update shows Big V still holding a 200+ leading over Grott and C-Squared.

Long again? He is looking to make it back to back after stealing the Canadian from Nacho last week, is leading at the Greensboro! Our Sheriff Big V, who was down with two cut yesterday, bounces back today and is currently 2nd overall this week. It’s definitely looking like the Big V’s year.

and obviously I missed the Overton bus this week.

Updated 7/29/10 7:07pm

Castelein, looking for his 1st of the year, (as 13 of us are), is leading at the new Greensboro!

Updated 4:51pm 7/27

CORRECTION!! I hate to do this but I have to take back Nacho’s victory. It turns out Mr Long was the only guy to pick Pettersson this week, and he gets a 50 pt bonus for that feat. Which will put him 3 points ahead of Nacho – and thus give Long the win. Sorry Notch. Hope you understand. Ill have updates later.

The Notch takes home his first ever BDGL victory at the Canadian Open. Congrats Nacho – this victory moved you up one spot overall from 19th to 18th. Hope this gets you motivated to ride the rest of the season out strong!

Other news shows Vernezze still coasting away - with only 2 tournys and 1 major left to go. Can he hold on – Vegas odds say yes he will. Here are the latest odds for some owners:

Big V- 2:1
R Miles- 5:1
D Wilson- 4:1
Norman- 10:1
Grott-15:1
Houston-15:1 (who needs to stop the bleeding)
Brown-15:1
Hayward- 250:1

4th Quarter update also has the Big V leading, by 249 over Grott and 273 over Vegas Jenks.

New BDGL Tourny this week in the Greensboro Classic. Who will be the inaugural winner??

One last thing – the Bonanza cost has moved to $65. Please let me know if you are going to be there so I can arrange 4-somes!

Updated 7:56pm 7/24

The Notch still on top going into Sunday at the Canadian Open. The rookie is looking to add his 1st ever BDGL title to his trophy case! Can he hold under the pressure? Cameron the Canadian making a nice showing in his native land! He could pull off a victory if a couple tiles fall in place (Immelman buckles).

Updated 6:10pm 7/23

Is that The Notch on top after Friday at the Canadian Open?? I believe it is! Tied with The Zellman. Home town hero C-Squared making a run currently in 3rd, but with Nacho being one of only two with nobody cut, it will be tough.

Updated 1:36pm 7/22

Big Z on top at the Open!

Updated 8:00am 7/22

Last year’s Canadian Open came down to who finished higher in the British open as 4 owners ended up tied, with two having the same alternate! Tate squeezed that one out, can he do it again or will C-Squared, aka the Canadian Sensation, pull off a victory in his homeland? We shall see!

Updated 10:40pm 7/18

A funny thing happened while I was in Vegas this weekend- Pinson won a tournament! and a Major at that!! Holy crapola I had to check the scores 3 times but it’s true. The P-Dog takes his 1st BDGL victory! I mean seriously, this guy has placed 20th or higher 35% of the tournaments he has played (yes I keep track). More stats? How about the chances of P-Dog finishing in the top 3? Can you say 6%. Yes 6 out of 100 times Pinson will finish in the top 3. That’s a bad bet right there my friends. So if you had money on the dog this week, wow – congrats to you! You made like 200-1 I’m sure. Nice going Pinson! on your first ever BDGL victory. You are now on the board! and hope those stats didn’t bum you out.

Hayward and West, on the other hand, have 3 Gleasons, 2 rings and 19 tournament victories between them but what’s missing? I’ll let you figure that one out.

Look who’s back as our sheriff. Big-V! His relentless pursuit to gain back the top spot has paid off. Although he may be a little bummed that he came only 2 spots short of turning in the first ever BDGL hatrek (he placed 3rd this week after winning the past two tournys), he still is on cruise control down the BDGL Highway and didn’t even slow down to assist a helpless Miles who had a blow out this week combined with transmission problems. The Big-V is also leading the 4th quarter, but by only 154 over Grott with Vegas Jenks in 3rd.

Updated 2:46pm 7/15

Big V on fire!! Leading all at the British Open. Can he be the first one in BDGL history to win 3 in a row?? Oh my!

Updated 3:46pm 7/11

This rookie is on fire as he takes his 2nd win in a row at the John Deere Classic! We havn’t seen the likes of these skills since Rookie Martin blazed through our league in ‘07. The Big V is trying to pin down that ever loved Rookie of the Year trophy and, although The C-Squared has had a fine year, the Big V is definitely pulling away in that contest. Nacho no where to be found. Nice going Vernezze!

This win gets you even closer to a sweating Miles. You are now only 65 points out, and with a major up too! ANYTHING can happen.

Vernezze also leading the 4th quarter, but only by 25 over a determined Houston, who happened to break into the top 3 for the 1st time this year, but also happened to lose at golf today to me, after I pulled the miracle “Weed Shot” out of my bag.

Other news shows Miles losing his grip on the Power Score, as his 21st place finish, combined with The Big V’s 1st place finish causes him to fall one point short! Houston in 3rd, back 44 pts and then none other than Fred Miles sitting 4th in the Power Scoring?? I had to recheck that but it’s true. Freddy showin some solid scores! I may have to check his golfer count…..

and I realize the post feature on this site is down – trying to figure out why. stay tuned.

Good luck this week! I would love me a British title!!!!!!!!

Updated 6:41pm 7/10

Look who hasn’t left town, the Big V, again back on top going into Sunday! Feel like a broken record here but it’s true. Vernezze is tied with Brown and owns the tiebreaker. He will record his 2nd victory in two weeks if it holds up at the John Deere Classic! Although Vernezze and Brown have the same lineup, Brown’s alt has missed the cut. Big V’s has not. He won last week in a tiebreaker over Vegas Jenks. Can he do it again over Brown? That will be a BDGL first!

Updated 5:15pm 7/9

C-Squared still leading with a determined Houston right behind at the John Deere Classic. Brown and Big V tied for 3rd only 15 back. Our Sheriff, Rick Miles, hits hard times this week with 2 cut – his YTD lead dwindled to only 66 over Big V. I know that feeling and it sucks!!

Updated 8:15pm 7/8

NEVER assume a player is in the field. I have sacrificed myself this week to prove this lesson to you all. My favorite tourny too. In other words, I’m an idiot.

C-Squared, aka The Canadian Sensation, is leading the John Deere Classic! and this, even after Pinson is forced to use his alternate, who is none other than Mr 59 himself, Paul Goydos!!

Updated 8:31am 7/8

My personal favorite tourny of the BDGL, the John Deere Classic. Maybe because it’s named after a mower. Without mowers we wouldn’t have golf courses.

Can the Zellman repeat his John Deere and make it two in a row? Good luck everybody!
