| Dugas, Brad
| Duggie
| 9.2
| 4.9
| 72 at Superstition Springs with a birdie on 18
| Long hitter has easy going temperament but don't be fooled he is as competitive as anyone, one arm chipper, can lose confidence and overthink, known for the 'The Drive' winning in sudden death in 2008, after a rought patch, brought in 3 wins in 2020. Captains likely are back to finding a way to get Duggie on their squads.
| He actually owns a Blue Ox.

| Crawford, John
| Crawdaddy
| 9.4
| 7.3
| 74 Aguila
| Crawdaddy, aka Steady Eddy, consistent ball striker with improved short game and handling pressure since his early days resulting in nice play and a ton of points over the last six years, is an excellent partner for more inconsistent teammates in best ball, lack of aggressiveness can hurt him sometimes and improved but typically a more complementary player not as much as coach/caddie

| 1.3
| -0.9
| 66 Las Colinas
| The second youngest Slyder Cupper, formerly a +1, took a family/kids detour for a years but since 2018 has played well getting 5 of 8 points. Lanky and long, phenomenal ball striker, can spray on occasion and putting can leave him. Due to Dustin's talent, the Captains typically make him a high pick.
| Showed maturity in 2009 at Matt's displaying no game when called upon but rallying to respectability
| 67
| Grimaldi, Paul
| Grim Reaper
| 3.3
| 2.3
| 68 at Aguila
| Current reigning Champion captain, Paul is a lefty 'stick'. One of the more consistent players in the field, taking down Bigcat, Mendoza and Kush on his way to 4-0 and a captaincy in 2019. Paul is quiet and funny, pleasant to play with, coaching/caddy skills improving. His cap is up a little but would be surprised if Paul is not a top 5 pick.

| Seibal, Scott
| Bigcat
| 4.6
| 1.7
| 68 Lone Tree / Legacy
| Talent and passion, consistent big accurate driver sets up his game, putter can be streaky, sometimes hot sometimes not. Tough to beat when in the lead but has a tendency to not come back when struggling. Playing a ton in retirement, most at Legacy, resulting in a low index. Bigcat is typically a top three pick. Keep the Heinekens at six per round and Scott will bring back the point.
| Drafting Captain will make him sign agreement restricting rounds to 4 Heineken and no Jack Daniels

| 69 Alta Mesa......5 birdies 2 bogies
| One of the strongest players in the field, loves Flagstaff Ranch and has played it well (shot 70 in 2016). Lmac experienced and plays frequently as a member of Alta Mesa. He has positive attitude and doesn't lose composure yet stays very competitive. Despite a lessor record with only one 3 win year, he is a selection favorite with good teammate reputation.

| 68 Antelope Hills South
| Good disciplined mentally tough player, shows tremendous grit when needed, with some important comebacks in Slyder history. Big Brad is frequently on the winning team, unless he is the captain, like in 2020. Playing as well as ever in last two years, BBB will be a very high selection.
| Thinks the term mulligan is really a contraction of the phrase maul-it-again.

| Bench, Randy
| B-Dog
| 6.1
| 7.2
| 73 at Rockwood Ft. Worth
| A confident emotional player, a true character, Randy is fun to play with and against, not afraid of gamesmanship and is definitely a shot maker, considered one of the best captains for his 2018 victory, rumored to be playing a bit this year, Randy is a great team player and willing and capable enough to take struggling partners and get a victory
| So excited to be part of the Slyder, actually pees a little on the first tee of every round.

| Only second year in the Slyder going 2-2 in 2009 as part of Patton's Army, a solid confident player, as a psychiatrist, handles the mental part of the game well, chipped in for win on 18 in his first Slyder Cup match, got beat up a little in last two rounds of 09, the humility of the Slyder can make you stronger

| Good athlete, competitor and teammate who can look like scratch one second and a bogey golfer the next, looks to be playing more and well in 2021 not playing in Slyder since 2018. Like and plays well at Flagstaff Ranch, and the captains would be foolish to let him drop too far.

| Slovensky, Mark
| Slo or Llama
| 7.7
| 3.2
| 69 at Wildfire Faldo
| Coming off a recent eye surgery, contrary to popular belief his partially detached retina was not due to the 'Optigrab' eyewear but rumored to be due to an aggressive masturbation session. The one-handed putter (since the other is busy) struggles at times with depth perception but can still jar one when needed. Slo is often drafted near the top for his golf acumen and his play. Often a co-captain during the remaining of the draft or a great coach for a rookie. Pairs well with inexperienced match players. He’s been known to lose interest in rounds when he’s not ‘in it’, until he bounces back. If he does, he can be dangerous chasing you particularly late in a round. His left to right preference in shot shaping is still there and when he needs to, he can find a fairway with a cut on a dogleg left. His short game is like the Freemont Street Magician, not a real polished performance but he gets it done and you end up asking yourself 'how'd he do that?', spurts of playing better than handicap could steal a point when needed. No question he'll still be taken near the top of the draft board.
| Did you hear about the llama who couldn’t see? Someone pulled the wool over his eyes.

| Mendoza, Alex
| Duran

| 71 Lake Arrowhead Pines in Slyder
| Quietly competitive and deadly ball striker, floats between confident and not-so, rumored to be playing very well coming into Slyder. He used to be picked fairly high put hasn't had a three-win season since 2014 so Captains will have tough decision as to when to grab him.

| Winand, Stan
| Top
| 7.7
| 6.0
| 70 Ogle Bay
| Stan is no longer a rookie and is the best player to come out of the Mount Vernon Brotherhood, the Cactus Cup Nemesis of the Nomads. 'Top' is an excellent ball-striker and has a very similar game to Alex Mendoza, both make very few mistakes. Stan does not have a lot of match play experience outside the Cactus Cup but odds are he will handle it well. Both Captains would be wise to get Top on their team early.
| As a Mt. Vernon Fluffer, only bringing one tee to the Slyder since the Gonads don't allow fluffing (no need for all those tees).

| Rafferty, Mike
| Uncle Buck
| 8.1
| 6.6
| 74 at Desert Mountain against Dan 'Pohlcat' Pohl, gave me 12, he shot 64, not good enough
| Former golf radio show host, "Uncle Buck" is a true ambassador of the game. After Slo finally got him to experience the Slyder in 2016, he moved from spectation to participation playing well in his first three years. He is absolutely crushing the driver which typically fuels his confidence. His putter has been an issue in 2021. Tough to beat when in the lead but doesn't always handle a struggling game well. Needs to improve his caddie/coaching skills leaving his partners on their own. This will likely keep him in the mid round draft selections.
| Partners have hard time reading putts as visual of him naked never leaves their head.

| The Nomads version of Ben Crenshaw with a come back Captaincy win in 2003. A good coach/caddie, he is very calming for high cappers, typically very good iron player and chipper, can lose his driver on occasion, had a decent 2020 Slyder after a few rough years. Captains may see good value in his elevated cap if they believe his rough years are behind him.

| 72 Starfire
| A Founder with solid record, very experienced match play gamer and grinder, comfortable with a any lie, good caddie and strategist but can sometimes overcoach, never out of a hole on the course, despite a little older, can still crush it with some inconsistency. After missing his 1st Slyder due to Covid, he is playing his best golf in years and always will be considered a steal in the draft no matter where he goes. Captains should know it is better to have him on your team than to not.

| Gardner, Carson
|

| 79 Dobson Ranch - is lowest differntial.
| A young rookie that secretly has been trying to get into Slyder Cup for a decade, has posted over 60+ rounds with the Nomads in the last year. Carson is a tall strong athlete that can hit it a mile but can also "bend it like Beckham". He is not intimidated by this year’s field and has been doing research on all the Nomads. One obvious trend when viewing his posted rounds is that he is playing a lot and getting better. Captains will be nervous to pick him early as he has not felt the pressure of the Slyder. Carson has a great temperament and will fit in with any group. Short game is improving and avoiding Mr. 3 Wiggle is a constant concern. Looking forward to adding new young talent that is as addicted as the rest of us.
| When he started golf, his legs where longer than his drives.

| 73 Camelback Padre
| A retired firefighter, good solid all around game, and great demeanor. Like many, Matt's inconsistency off the tee can lead to some struggles. Known for best post captaincy babysitting of Cup ever. Matt has at least three pts in four of the last five years and has never lost in singles. Despite his great record, Matt seems to fly under the radar, maybe because many of his wins have come from playing with Grimaldi, similar to the Seibal Brothers success. This year's Captains would be wise to not overlook him, with or without Paul.

| 73 pine island ,minn.
| Very competitive, excellent iron play and shows determination. He has become a really good putter, especially under pressure. Sometimes a little self-focused which can turn off some partners and Captains, leading to a little drop on the draftboard due to pairing concerns. Captains will look to add Terry to their arsenal once they secured his brother (Bigcat)

| 78 - The Golf Club at Rancho California
| Walt can hit it big and on occasion he can put it all together for a decent round (low 80’s), Walt has a very calm head in golf course battles and has proven not to fold under any “press” presented. He will grind it out with the best of them making him a favorite partner for the A players. Walt will be one of the sought after B cappers so except selection mid-draft.

| Captain Billy the Kid, former hockey player and the youngest Cupper, has shown a calm demeanor and clutchness in his first few years at the Slyder, relatively new to the game, getting better and better each year, went 3-1 as the losing captain (very rare) in a Slyder that went down to the end, this year's Captains will likely want to select this higher handicapper for their team sooner than later

| 11.9
| 79 at Biltmore
| Now mostly retired and joining Torreon, Los has been playing plenty and his game and index are the best ever, hence his captaincy. Struggles in the past have come mostly from anxiety but that has somewhat subsided due to confidence. Captain Los will need to keep his emotions in check and try not to get overwhelmed.
| If you are his partner and hungry, ask him for peanuts, he keeps them in his golfbag, also has minis.

IBM CC Poughkeepsie NY
| Former golf professional, this addict from CT is not long anymore but still straight and consistent, having a propensity to birdie par threes. Will play a tee, coupled with his experience and willingness to play and support anyone, Bill will be sought after by the Captains.
| So straight on and off the tee, he blushes when his ball touches another's.

| Like many in his cap range, this Canadian has game but is inconsistent, plenty of length, positive demeanor which accounts for having reputation for throwing down low numbers following a bad round and contributing to winning teams, despite over 500 record usually mid-to-late round pick, he is a great partner and can play with any type of personality.
