Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- British Masters (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW
New host course means we have no course history so we’ll be leaning heavily on current form and statistical fit. There aren’t many pictures of the course, but from what I did find, the course looks tight off the tee so we’ll want to give the nod to more accurate players when trying to decide between two plays of equal skillset. Putting will be what separates the bunch this week, so make sure your teams have a balance of strong putters with those that can get hot.
