You set your roster each week...only 10 starts per player for the year. You can sub your bench in mid tourney too but if you use a player, even just for one round, it counts as one of the 10. One of my earlier posts goes over the ins and outs of Yahoo.

I've never done fantasy stuff so is this my roster for the season or can I add and drop players per tournament?


@RFKFREAK, fantasy golf is fun and it will keep you current of the Tour Players.

The key is to track players who are playing well and start these guys.

Going with Top Players sometimes will not be the best overall results.

The key is scoring "Points for each round" all four days.

Keep in mind, "points are awarded for each day", not the current daily leaders or position.

The total of the points for four rounds, plus bonus points is each participants weekly score.

Lowest round score gets 20 points.

Example: Phil shoots 68 in first round and is the lowest score for the day.

Any player who also shoots 68 will get 20 points.

Any player who shoots 69 will get 18 points.

If the next lowest score by a player is 70, then they would get 16.

Scoring is in increments of 2 points.

There will be times when a player goes "LOW" and has a round of 62 (example)

Next lowest score of the day is 70. That player or players would only score 6 points.

All players who shoot 73 or higher, will get Zero points.

Also, the 10 rounds by a player rule, does not happen that often. Yahoo shows the starts for each player every week. Just don't ride a favorite player for each week they play.

If you have any Q's or need advise, throw the Q on this thread, someone will help out.

Or, shoot me any Q and I will help out.

They usually post scores about 4 hours after the round is over. Watching the news seems like many areas battling weather...I am in west coast and we've had a pretty good winter...got 9 in today and was sunny but wind was howling...

The league standing are posted at the end of the event, I believe.

You can view your individual scores at anytime once the event starts.

Unlike F Football, the points are not "Live interactive" they are projected points.

My first round results, 48 points, which is OK.

As usual, my bench out scored my starters, 50 points.

Not seeing what other teams score during the event, is somewhat bogus.

But it prevents team managers from selecting players based on who the opposition has playing.

Club Rat

PS, Jordan Spieth is the real deal. He has picked up right where he left off in the fall.

Also, Check out the "New Rad Look" Zachary is sporting this weekend.

Keep him in the radar, he's going to have a break season.

Haha - my bench outdid my starters, too.  Only one of my starters put up a good number. :doh:

Thanks for setting this up. I just signed up today, and it seems a little unfair that I got to put in a team after the first round. Can you do this every week? This is my first time playing, and I thought you would have to pick your team before the tournement starts.

Driver: Titleist 910d2

Irons: Mizuno MP4s kbs tour shafts

You should be able to set your line up for the 2 round today.

It must be set before they tee off.

It is a long season and you will be able to make up the first round points you have missed out on.

Thanks for joining, it's a fun league and it will keep you current with the Tour players results.

Can't do this each week....must be because it is week one. Usually if you miss the deadlines for the start of a tournament you are stuck with your team from the previous week, and they aren't always in the field etc... Thanks for joining it is a good time and keeps interest up in the tour..

You can now see the group standings . Click on the Sandtrap group off your main page and it will show the group standings after each round. 68 leads the group from yesterday...an impressive total.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
