Just a quick update about Fantasy Friday–when I post my picks every Friday for golf fantasy offered by the PGA Tour, European PGA Tour, and the Golf Channel.  All three games are done until the new year.

Picks for the PGA Tour usually re-open the second week in January.  The same for the Golf Channel.  As for the European Tour, they usually don’t allow picks to resume until they begin the Desert Swing in Abu Dahbi, which isn’t played until February, usually.  My fingers are crossed that I can starting picking the second week of January.

Golf will continue for the European Tour, though.  There is the Australian PGA Championship from November 29th to December 2nd.  The AfraAsia Open from November 29th to December 2nd.  The South African Open from December 6th to the 9th.  And my personal fave the Alfred Dunhill Championship from December 13th to the 16th.  This one is held at Leopard Creek County Club in Malelane, South Africa.

After that, golf is done for the year and won’t resume until the second week in January.  It’s  good thing I recorded and saved Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake Mysteries to view over the Christmas season.

Yes, it’s been a long time since I last posted a Fantasy Friday.  Fridays at my blog have been busy, but I’m still glued to the TV, watching the Race to Dubai.  That’s what’s airing this weekend.  Woot!  On Sunday evening, I’ll find out who’s the winner of the DP World Tour Championship and the winner of the Race to Dubai for the European Tour.

Naturally, the tournament takes place in…Dubai.  Duh.  LOL.  The sixty golfers who made it this far are teeing it up at the Earth course (designed by Greg Norman!) at the Jumeirah Golf Estates

BTW, when hubby was watching Midsomer Murders the other evening, the mystery took place at a golf course.  I love when that happens haha.

As for the PGA Tour, they’re in Sea Island, Georgia at the Sea Island Golf Club, battling to win the RSM Classic.

Enough babbling.  Here are my picks:

The Race to Dubai continues on the European Tour.  A big congratulations to England’s Eddie Pepperell, winner of last week’s British Masters.  This week, the tour heads for Sotogrande, Spain for the Andalucia Valderrama Masters hosted by the Sergio Garcia Foundation at the Real Club Valderrama.

The PGA Tour is still in Asia, this time teeing it up at the Nine Bridges Golf Club on Jeju Island in South Korea where the pros will battle it out for the CJ Cup.  A big congratulations to last week’s winner at the CIMB Classic, Australia’s Marc Leishman.

Here are my picks for this week.

And I’m back with another edition of Fantasy Friday.  My apologies for not posting my picks last week, but I had a special guest blogger who shared how to market your brand new novel.  If you wish to read the fabulous post by Digital Book Girl, go on ahead.  It’s full of handy information.

Back to golf.  Last week, the first tournament for the PGA Tour’s 2018/19 season commenced in Napa, California at the Silverado Resort & Spa.  A big congratulations to Kevin Tway for his tournament win at the Safeway Open.

For the next two weeks, the PGA Tour is in Asia.  The first stop is the CIMB Classic at TPC Kuala Lumpur in Bukit Kiara, Malaysia.  Yes, while we’ve kissed summer goodbye in the northern hemisphere, the pro golfers are enjoying the wonderful hot and sunny weather below the equator.

As for the European Tour, now that they’ve completed the Alfred Dunhill Links with winner Lucas Bjerregaard of Denmark (one of my picks for last week’s fantasy game) claiming the trophy, the Tour will continue the Race to Dubai in Surrey, England at Walton Heath Golf Club’s Old Course for the British Masters.
