Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Made in Denmark (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW
After years of play at Himmerland Golf Club, the Made In Denmark moves to a new location this year and will be played at Silkeborg Ry Golfklub in, yep, you guessed it – Denmark. The winners listed below are irrelevant to this week since this is the first time the event has been held here, so don’t put too much stock in former winners. One item of note is that this new course is the home course for Ryder Cup Captain Thomas Bjorn, and as luck would have it, it’s the last week before he has to make his captain’s picks for the team. The course is a tree-lined forestlands course with undulating doglegging fairways, and hazards – both dry and wet. The four Par 5’s will make even the shortest of hitters lick their chops off the tee as they all come in under 600 yards (540, 558, 538 & 553). We should see a ton of scoring this week, I think, which makes me want to throw a bit more money at EURO golf than I normally do. The weather looks fine as of writing as expected temps are in the 60’s and 70’s and only a small chance of rain, but nothing to concern us too much.
