Two weeks gone and 55 of the players on our list have yet to turn up at a tournament and swing a club in anger. That's fine, it's early days yet, and we're sure that most of you who have invested in the likes of David Duval, Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods, all of whom have yet to score, are confident that between now and September they will have more than made up for their sluggish starts.

But, how would you feel if you were manager of the only team in the entire competition yet to win a single Golf Masters' pound - leaving you £368,911 adrift of leader Barry McStay, with only 28 weeks left to catch up?

"Am I the only one," asked our Dublin manager Mark Quinn. Well, how do we put it? Yes. "Out of. . . 19,488?" Mmm, 'fraid so. "Great, I'm proud of that!" Proud? And there we were thinking we were the bearer of grim news. (Maybe the promise of a polo shirt helped). Barring disqualifications and/or retirements Mark should, with a bit of luck, crawl upwards from his current position of 19,488 th this week because four of his line-up, Davis Love, Bill Glasson, Steve Jones and Rocco Mediate, are in the field for the Bay Hill Invitational.

Still, Mark seems to have given up already on this particular line-up bringing him any glory in this year's competition. "I'd settle for kicking a four-ball with one of my other teams, although I suspect `Watcher of the Skies' won't be the one that does it."

His other ambition? "To see a couple of Genesis albums and song titles on the leader-board at some stage." We were confused, until Mark informed us that Watcher of the Skies was a 1970s tune by Genesis, the then very hairy English band. "From life alone to life as one, think not now your journey's done, for though your ship be sturdy, no Mercy has the sea, will you survive on the ocean of being," as one verse goes. There's a message in there somewhere for Mark's team, we suspect.
