Also, with doing the fantasy golf, are you able to change your golfers from your bench to your starter from round to round? Or what is the purpose of the starters and bench I guess. Just want to make sure I understand it. Thanks

You bet.  You select your team for each day.  The league allows you ten(?) starts for each player.  That keeps individuals from going the entire season with a certain golfer.

So if I use a player on Thursday, than put him on the bench on Friday, than put him back in for Saturday and Sunday, does that count as 1 start or 3 starts? So basically is a start for the whole Tourney? Also, what if you don't use a player on your bench. Does that also count as a start or a time used for that player even if u don't use him? Thanks

Hey guys

Field is set on Yahoo now, so you can go ahead and start setting your rosters for this week. 

For guys new to the pool, don't worry the A, B, and C look so sparse. It is a limited field event, so usually you will have a lot more to choose from. Good news this week is there is no cut.

As well, for those who are new, here are the official rules from the Yahoo website....when you scroll down there is also a link that explains bonus points and MDF, which can be the bane of your team on the weekend....

Only one start.

A start is considered using a player during the event. It could be the final round.

Here's a tip from the Old Guy (yes I'm old) using multiple players in a round can increase the potential for bonus points.

Example: Spieth wins the tournament for the week, I only used him in the first two rounds. Fowler finishes second and I only had him in the lineup also for the first two rounds. My other four starter play really well the final two rounds and get higher points in the third and fourth rounds.
So basically, I've played six of my players to four players of other teams. Perfectly legal, and sometimes good coaching.

If you don't use a guy at all for the week, it does not count as a start.

Tourney starts in a little more than 2 days, and we are up to 32 in the League. Might be a good number. In the past we have had guys who have signed up and not participated, or bowed out once they fell back in the pack. Seems like we have a good group of enthusiastic guys so far this year. 

My roster is set....now to fulfill my New Year's Resolution as it pertains to Fantasy Golf....go with my gut and not tweak things to much after reading the so called Expert picks. I have had many a week where if I had not tweaked on the expert advice I would have done much better. 

Good luck gentlemen.

Setting my lineup now.  Haas and McDowell are C-listers now?  I realize I didn't follow the PGA Tour as much the past two years as I had before then, but... really?  They're C-listers?

Don't worry about that. Especially in this limited field event.  The players need to be split into 3 different groups A, B and C so that this event can be played by the same rules as the rest of the year. The split is meaningless, mostly.  Expect them both to be in the A or B group later in the season.

How are golfer A/B/C lists determined - taken from Yahoo

This article will describe how Fantasy Golf groups are determined.  

The previous season's final money list is used as a basis for the A/B/C lists, but then we spread players around to ensure we have players to choose from in each list for all tournaments -- even the tournaments where the higher ranked golfers don't play

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
