This was our first full week of regular games after the All Stars Tournament and there were three tough FJ’s, but no triple stumpers. We thought that Monday’s was the toughest because it didn’t even give any indication of what type of works the playwright was most famous for. A pointer at comedy might have helped at the very least.
On Monday, the returning champ was Conor Murphy but he lost to Elaine Wilson. On Tuesday, Barton Wong defeated Elaine and he won on Wednesday, too. Lindsey Shultz took over on Thursday and finished the week as a 2x champ.
Barton and Lindsey snagged two spots on the Top 15 Daily Payouts of Season 35. Lindsey’s $35,201 came in at No. 4 for the season.

In my opinion, golf players are way overpaid. A race car driver is putting his life on the line, a football (soccer) or American football player can suffer a career ending injury every time he plays. Even tennis players often have to play 4, 5 hour games and train 6 days a week. Physically exhausting.
Success in golf is often combined with luck. The players don’t need to be top athletes. It’s just because so many people watch that the tournaments can ask fortunes in advertising money, making it possible for excessive prize moneys. Not much demand on a golf player physically but compared to other sports, they make disproportionate amounts of money, without risking serious injuries. Just my opinion.
