Fantasy Golf: Buy, Sell, or Hold for the PGA Championship
Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 5:58AM The final major of 2011 will be getting underway this week and that means it is also an important week for fantasy golf players.
Hopefully you have some starts left for some of the players you think will fare well on the tough track at the Atlanta Athletic Club.
The weather will be hot and sticky and that may be an advantage to many of the golfers that have been playing events in th U.S. where it has been extremely hot all summer.
David Toms won here the last time the PGA Championship was at the Atlanta Athletic Club. He was accurate and didn't make mistakes down the stretch as he took the title.
Here's a quick buy, sell, or hold.
Buy:
Dustin Johnson (A) - He he poised to win a major?
Nick Watney (A) - He's lurking in the rough, and if he starts well, he's a good closer.
Steve Stricker (B) - A must play. He'll be around on the weekend.
Charl Schwartzel (B) - Didn't have a good Bridgestone, but he's The Masters champ.
Y.E. Yang (B) - I think this could be a good course for Yang.
Rory McIlroy (C) - You have to take him as a C pick.
Gary Woodland (C) - He should have a good week.
Zach Johnson (C) - Plays well in Georgia, but is that enough for him this week?
Sell:
Jonathan Byrd (A)
Angel Cabrera (B) - Hasn't made a cut since early June.
Anthony Kim (C) - He's good one week, bad the next. Which Anthony Kim will show up in Atlanta?
Hold:
David Toms (B) - Can the 2001 champ do it again at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

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.
