Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for John Deere Classic
Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 6:47AM While some players have the British Open on their mind this week, others are still state side for one of the best run events on tour, The John Deere Classic.
It is played each and every year at the TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, IL. It seems more and more golfers are playing the John Deere before they head to Britain, and they all have a good time.
Two-time defending champ Steve Stricker is back before he heads across the pond. Also expected to tee it are reigning British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, Davis Love III, Stewart Cink and Jason Day.
Can Stricker three-peat? Here is this week's buy, sell and hold.
Buy:
Brian Gay (A) - Gay is having a great season and should show well here. He hasn't played here since a T-12 in 2008.
Steve Marino (A) - Marino could get real hot and go low here.
Steve Stricker (B) - How can you not go with the two-time defending champ?
Chris Riley (B) - No shame in going with this veteran golfer who had three solid rounds at the AT&T,
Vaughn Taylor (B) - Taylor is having a nice year and he finished T-7 here in 2010.
Jason Day (C) - A solid C-level pick. He finished T-15 last year.
Charles Howell III (C) - Howell's game may be finally coming around and he likes this course and event.
Sell:
Michael Sim (A) - Has made only 3 cuts in 2011.
Todd Hamilton (B) - Has made only 3 cuts in 2011.
Rich Beem (C) - This may sound like a broken record, but he has made only 3 cuts in 2011.
Hold:
David Toms (B) - Is having a good year and should play well on this course. A little risky, but usually a safe play.
Check back for our "flyer" of the week.

Discount Golf Clubs:In the cold weather it brings its own requirements. Less cold than winter but wet you need to have waterproof golf shoes, it does mean they should be treated to be able to withstand water. . I would also advise purchasing a good quality rain suit, cheap ones usually tend to tear and do not last as long as the better made ones. With a rain suit you can wear woolen products underneath it to keep warm, without the wool taking a soaking. You should also make sure you have an umbrella and a towel. You can store the towel on the TaylorMade R9 Driver spokes of the opened umbrella between shots. The towel will need to be used to dry the grips on the clubs throughout the game.
