Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell, or Hold For The Honda Classic
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 6:38AM
The PGA Tour heads east as the West Coast Swing wraps up and the players will soak up the fun and sun of Florida.
The Honda Classic used to be skipped by many of the top players; not so much this year as world #1 Lee Westwood, and the likes of Luke Donald, Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler, and Rory McIlroy are all entered.
"We have talked about the rise in stature of The Honda Classic for the past several years and these great commitments from some of the best players in the game serve as an endorsement of that," Honda Classic Executive Director Kenneth R. Kennerly said. "The Champion course at PGA National provides a great stage for the competition and challenge they will undertake the week of the tournament. And we will continue to push ourselves to become better each year so that the golf fans of South Florida and the golf capital of America continues to enjoy an elite event."
Fan favorite Camilo Villegas is the defending champ and he is back to try and repeat.
There are a lot of tough decisions to make this week, so do your research.
Here is our buy, sell, and hold for The Honda Classic.
Buy:
Steve Marino (A) - It's only a matter of time before Marino gets a win. He has two top-10's so far in 2011. When he gets hot, Marino will rack up the points.
Graeme McDowell (A) - McDowell is poised to have a great year on tour. He took a month off to rest for a big stretch of events this Spring. He played well last week at the Accenture, he could have a big week at the Honda with a win.
Spencer Levin (B) - Levin is quietly having a good year. He currently ranks 13th on the money list and has two top-10s in 2011. He missed the cut here last year, but he won't if he keeps playing like this.
Vijay Singh (B) - Vijay hasn't missed a cut so far in 2011. Hall of Famer Singh has found the touch with his putter and that led him to a 2nd place finish at Riviera. Singh is 48, but he feels completely healthy after years of nagging injuries. He finished T-4 here last year.
Jimmy Walker (C) Walker has been "Dynamite" so far in 2011. Five starts and five made cuts including a T-4 at the Northern Trust.
Sell:
Blake Adams (B) - Has missed four straight cuts. He may make it five here at the Honda.
J.P. Hayes (C) - Years ago, Hayes was a fantasy bargain. Not anymore. He hasn't made a cut so far in 2011 and hasn't even shot a round under par.
Heath Slocum (A) - Not a viable A-level play. Has only made two cuts in six events this season.
Hold:
Chris Couch (C) - He's the leading C-level player right now, but didn't play well last year here at the Honda. He hasn't missed a cut so far in 2011. Play him if you have to, but he may miss the weekend this week.
Remember to listen to the AudioBoo for the "flyer" of the week.

Mechanics of the golf swing is very complex, and divides it into simple steps you can follow without ending up in frustration. He saw many of his students are frustrated and so he developed his golf swing and a simple workout routine. This will help you hit the ball farther with more accuracy the time. Okay, I think I can learn from the book as to oscillate. Well, it seemed to me too, but Bobby development of the entire DVD series to solve this problem.You can even get the swing analysis software, live teleseminar and a forum where members can receive additional help. And there are even bigger bonus to help.
