Waggle Room 2011 Golf Fantasy League Now Created
Hi folks...please forgive me for being slow to the draw on getting the Fantasy League set up, but it's now done. As many of you know, last week I had wrist/hand surgery, and am somewhat limited in what I can do with my hands. Also, I haven't made too big of a deal out of this, but the surgery was a lot worse than the last year when I had the other hand fixed up...let's just say it's not very pleasant and I am glad I have run out of hands to have this done on. :-) The surgeon - probably the best hand surgeon in a city with two renowned medical schools and research centers - said that my case was the worst he'd seen in at least five years and maybe even ten...that I got this done in the nick of time before I started having irreversible damage. The operation took twice as long and when the median nerve was being released, it rewarded me with angry "electrical shock" sensations so strong that the nurses had to strap my arm down to keep it from involuntarily moving. Anyway, the healing road is a little rockier six days on, and I am already tired of Zen Typing: the sound of one hand on the keyboard.
Now to the point: I have created the 2011 Yahoo Fantasy Golf League for our site. This is the one sponsored by the PGA Tour, so it ought to be a good one.
As for us, here's the deal: the overall winner at the end of the year will win a nice prize from Waggle Room, and if we have more than ten players, the top 3 will win a prize as well. (It would be silly to have gold, silver and bronze finishers if only 4-5 people participate.) The top prize will be worth winning, and I think the winner will be happy to have it. Second and third won't be getting certificates either, instead, I am going in to my collection of golf memorabilia and will award to runners-up with something they'll be happy to receive. So all that said, it's worth your time to play.
Here's the site info:
Group Name Waggle Room
Group ID# 6988
Group Password ******* (I will mail it to you if you play)
Drop Weeks Drop 1 Week (meaning you'll get one mulligan week.)
I am Team Waggle Room, for lack of a better name for the time being.
FWIW, a couple folks sent me an email expressing interest, and they have already been notified.
Finally, I am no expert on running fantasy leagues, honestly, I rarely have time to play that sort of game...the old three career thing keeps me running, and all three are going strong at the moment. That said, bear with me and let me know if I could do something better.
Regards as always...
CB

OK Charles...never mind all the crap that Doctor told
ya….that was just to justify the fee for services he was laying on ya…..All them Saw Bones does the same thing…..case in point…..last time Ol Handi went to the Doctor whith an erection that had lasted over 5 hours, the Doctor told him it was the worst case he had ever seen….and this is whilst he was supposed to be giving his wife all that home care a bit ago….(j/k Handi)….
Don’t sweat this stuff, the season doesn’t start for a couple weeks yet….We’ll get it done, we always does……Jist don’t slip and fall on all that snow and Ice ya got and really rip that hand up…..Stay thirsty my friend……STUB
Count you in what?
you get that remodeling done yet?….ain’t all that mess fun…..are they on schedule, or are the contractors goofin off…..remember, DON’T fall in the water……STUB
Not done yet Stubbo
They are on schedule so far, but the recent snow storm set things back a day or two. I’m up in Nova Scotia, Canada, visiting family at the moment but plan on checking the progress Sunday and then back to Florida.

Yep @ Halifax

Also have family in Weymouth, Yarmouth and Digby.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"

NS and Newfoundland are some of the prettiest parts of Canada IMO.
Of course, I go in the summer, that is if I can get there during those three weeks in the middle of the year. (I kid)

Small world.
In the Royal Navy at the time. Used to go to the fleet club but went over the bridge to Dartmouth…had some good times there ! I recall a fish restaraunt on the Halifax side near the bridge…great shrimps .
Anyone who wants in, email me and I will send ya the group password
I was going to post it here, but it seemed like a Bad Idea™ to do that, so hit the link at the top right of the main page and I will get it to you.
rules are on the site
but basically you pick some players who you think will win, place or show that week…it only takes a few minutes a week and over the period of a few months, shows you know your pro golf….

You get to choose 8 players a week
your 4 top picks and 4 on the bench as back ups and you can switch them around after each round.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"

I want in… need your email to send you one, so I can get the password.

Of course!
Sometimes we used to send those guys on wild goose chases, like having them call the recorded weather info from the state, Nothing like making them waste their time and money on international long distance calls.

Why, oh why, oh why
did you leave it so long to get the hand done, Charles? It must have been getting worse for YEARS. The recovery sounded good for the first couple of days, so this is a bit of downer for you (and us). Hope the healing process improves soon.
I have the congenital male allergy to physicians and also, I am very good at sublimating pain and ignoring it. That’s what made me a good endurance runner and bicyclist, I suppose.
That and another congenital male trait: the ability to procrastinate everything not having to do with sex, eating or watching televised sports.
by Charles Boyer on Dec 29, 2010 12:45 PM EST up reply actions
I have one at home just like you
except the sublimating pain bit ;o) Had to threaten with knee to groin before he got the hernia done.

As the article states...email me for the password
If you want in, just send me an email so I can send you the info back. It just runs against every grain in my IT professional nature to post a password in cleartext on a web site.
by Charles Boyer on Dec 30, 2010 11:21 PM EST up reply actions
so you’re saying we need to email you for the password ? (lol)
