Fantasy Golf Preview- Czech Masters (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW

With four years of play at the Albatross Resort I think we finally have enough data to help us make our decisions this week. The course is long-ish, but accuracy off the tee seems relevant, and the ability to hit it in the fairway a long way always helps. Of course, ball striking will be a key stat as I genuinely think the phrase of 2018 and beyond should be “Drive for show, ball strike for dough”, but that’s just me. This seems like a really good week to take some deep shots as some of the names that have popped up over the past four years are guys who’ve literally only done something in this event and not much else (with the exception of Pieters and to a certain extent, Donaldson – though he’s been a completely different player since his accident) as well as taking shots on guys who look out of form, but are upper tier European Tour players.
