Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Trophee Hassan II (European Package)

We’re back! This week the Euro Tour heads to Morocco where the fairways are kikuyu (think South African players/those who have had success during the South African swing) and the greens are a mix of pencross and poa annua. The course is long, so driving distance will be somewhat important, but not overlooking accurate players off the tee should be your main focus this week as many of the holes have tree lined fairways. Also worth noting, the greens are a bit faster than usual as they ran 11’2” on the stimp last year, possibly to help players coming over from Augusta make the transition a bit easier.  If you have not tried European DFS, it is very exciting and gives you a head start to your DFS Golf week.
