Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for Wells Fargo Championships

A great field, minus Tiger Woods will tee it up this week at the Wells Fargo Championships in Charlotte.

Rory McIlroy is the defending champ and he earned it last year shooting a 62 in the final round to get the win.

He is joined by Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Mark Wilson and last week's winner, Bubba Watson.

Here is this week's buy, sell and hold.

Buy:

Nick Watney (A) - A great play this week.  Has not missed a cut in 2011 and has four top 10's in seven starts.

Phil Mickelson (A) - It doesn't take a genius to put Mickelson in the lineup this week.  He doesn't miss cuts and he finished second here in 2010.

Brendon de Jonge (B) - He's quietly having a very good year.  He plays this course well as he finished fifth last year.  If he can shoot better in final rounds he'll be a top play most weeks.

J.J. Henry (B) - This is another good week to play Henry.  He finished T-7 here last year.  No pay any attention to his first missed cut of the season last week at the Zurich.  he's rebound nicely this week.

Robert Allenby (B) - It's about time for Allenby's game to come alive.  He played well in Charlotte last year and is coming off some good play in Houston and New Orleans.

Mark Wilson (C) - Wilson like this event, he finished T-7 last year.  It's about time for another top-10 for Wilson.

Ryan Moore (C) - Moore should be nice and rested as he hasn't played since The Masters.  He hasn't missed a cut in 2011, and any time he tees it up, he can win.

Sell:

Alex Prugh (B) - Yeeesh.  He's missed five straight cuts.  Stay away!

Colt Knost (C) - Hasn't done much the last five weeks or this year.  Best finish is a T-29.

Nathan Green (C) - Green is having a disappointing 2011 at this point.  His best finish is a T-23 in Texas.  I don't see him doing much this week.

Hold:


Rory McIlroy (C) - Not sure what to expect from the defending champ this week.  If you need another C-level player, you may want to play him this week.


The AudioBoo will be posted a bit later than usual this week.  Check back for our "flyer" of the week.

Kindle Free Pick of the Week: Team Secrets Of The Navy Seals

Appropriate free pick this week with the finding and killing of Bin Laden.

Team Secrets of the Navy SEALs is written especially for business professionals who want to make it in today's extremely aggressive business environment. No force or unit has ever had more success than the SEALs. Author Robert Needham uses the lessons he's learned as a Navy SEAL to guide the reader through the role of being or becoming a leader. "To some, leadership is exemplified by the blind obedience to orders. It is a misconception that to coerce another person to do your bidding makes you a 'leader.'"Navy SEALs are recognized around the world as being the best. From their start as Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDU) in WWII to the founding of the SEALs in 1962, only 8,000 men have been allowed to join this top-notch unit. Needham is still on active duty as a SEAL and knows how to achieve results. "The ruthless effectiveness and efficiency of the SEAL Teams stems from the fact that we always start from, perfect, and practice the basics. The Team is a dynamic that works toward success, not hindered by pride, preservation, and self-interest."Needham's principles define and illustrate the word "team," and they will motivate business people working toward that common goal.

I think there is a little Navy Seal in all of us, this book may help bring it out.

Space Shuttle Launch Delayed Again

The launch of the US space shuttle Endeavour on its final voyage has been further delayed by technical problems, NASA said on Sunday.

It had been hoped Endeavour would lift off on Monday after Friday's original launch was scrapped, but NASA said this would not now happen due to ongoing problems with the shuttle's electrical systems.

"NASA managers determined it is not possible to launch Endeavour on Monday, which had been the earliest possible liftoff date," the US space agency wrote in a Twitter message on Sunday.

Endeavour is poised to carry a potent, multibillion dollar tool for searching the universe in the second-to-last flight for NASA's 30-year program.

After Endeavour returns from its 14-day mission and Atlantis launches for a final time in June, the space shuttle program will close for good.

That will leave Russia as the sole taxi for astronauts heading to and from the orbiting space lab until a new spaceship is built by a partnership between NASA and private companies, by 2015 at the earliest.
Endeavour will carry to the ISS and leave behind the two-billion-dollar, seven-ton particle physics detector, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2, which will scour the universe for clues as to how it all began.

The flight is to be commanded by Mark Kelly, husband of wounded Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who has completed months of excruciating rehab after being shot in the head during a public gathering last January.
