If golf research were sexual...you'd be rounding 2nd base after this.

Here are a few key things to know that may not have been covered on the podcast enough. Keep these in mind when narrowing down your bets and/or player pool.

Finally, we're nearing the end of course rotation season, but not before once last hoorah at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am which features a 3 course rotation. We of course don't have shot tracker data on two of the courses so we are going to focus primarily on Pebble Beach, which plays host to 2 rounds of the 4. Let's cut to the chase and give you what we believe is the most valuable information that you need know this which to give yourself the best chance at success in both DFS and betting. Here are some notes from years past:

• In the last 6 years, we had a 160/1, 300/1, and 500/1 winner at this event. The field strength keeps worsening and is bad once again this year. #LongshotSZN

• Monterey is the easiest course in the rota. Keep that in mind for playing showdowns and potential opportunities IF the weather looks dicey.

• Spyglass can play equally as tough as Pebble depending on the wind and weather.

• Cut after 54 holes this week. T60 & Ties.

• Every caddie we have spoken to has stressed the importance of local knowledge and experience playing Pebble Beach.

• Smallest greens on tour. Spongy, bumpy POA once again that can give players fits from short range

• Driving Distance not nearly as important this week, look more for great mid iron players who have experience here.

• Take a peak back to the Amex for some recent insight into how players fared on a 3 course rotation with Pro-Am Partners.
