I definitely forgot about an event either last week or the one before. But getting both rory and colin in my picks this week helped bounce back a bit.

only 7 players under par so far today, I might have done better not submitting a roster this week.
if it stays like this I might play guys on my roster who don't make the cut for the weekend

Players play, tough players win!

If he had Reed, he would’ve taken it for sure. 
 

I’m slowly making my way back up the leaderboard after missing a week.

The current PGA Tour app is pretty stinky. I stopped playing.

I was reading some of the earlier posts in the thread about the app, I just started tinkering with it but haven't had any issues so far.  I guess I also don't know what it used to be like....what is the main issue?

I was able to join from the original post, so if others are still participating hopefully can have some fun the rest of the season.  I'm sure I'm too late to compete for any season long pride, but I'll do my best to take down a few tournaments

It looks like the PGA Fantasy scoring has finally been resolved!
Scores and points seem to be updating in Real Time.

I noticed last week the website had a display banner that indicated they were aware of the problem.
It's unbelievable that it took over 3 years to address this situation...

So I absolutely don't want to step on any toes here, but wanted to at least start a discussion in advance of next season.  Does everyone like the Fantasy format of PGATour.com?  Is there a way you would improve it in your ideal world?

Not sure if anyone else is familiar with Fantrax, but I've used it for years as a member of a Fantasy Premier League group.  It offers a lot of customization to create fantasy sports with a whole lot of flexibility to the format.  I started playing with their Fantasy PGA leagues, and there are a lot of unique ways to format it.  I set up what I might consider my ideal fantasy golf format, but fully understand what might be ideal to me may not be to others, so thought it could be a good discussion at least.

Again, I certainly don't want to step on any toes with this, but I know from earlier in the thread there were some complaints about the PGA Fantasy app at least (Fantrax has a pretty solid app), not sure how everyone feels about the overall format, but would there be any interest in potentially creating something new for next season?

 

Just to kick things off, the format I started tinkering with:

6 players on each team, all 6 score points, no subs.  Scoring shown below, but formatted so simply completing holes is likely to add to your score with small points for pars, and increasing values for holes under par.  Picking a player that misses the cut would, and should, hurt your overall score for the week.  Finishing position is rewarded with 1/10 of the total FedEx Cup points.

In my ideal world, rosters are determined by a weekly draft, so each golfer can only be on one team each week.  This would require a fairly dedicated group and is less casual, but draft could take place slowly between Monday and Wednesday rather than trying to organize a specific draft time each week.  A more casual set up could function more like the current PGA Tour Fantasy model where everyone sets their own team each week, duplicate golfers are ok, but each golfer can only be used X number of times all season.

Anyway, back to my original question, this isn't necessarily about trying to adopt my specific format, but I would be interested in discussing if people would be interested in a new format, what others ideal format may look like, and if there is interest in creating something that may utilize a hybrid of those visions for next season?  I would love to have something thats a bit more social and engaging in the Fantasy Golf world here.

I like your idea and yes the PGA league is a poor setup with their scoring system.
@gogolfing is our leader and he would entertain your idea 🙂

Great, certainly would be interested in discussion.  Seems like there are 13 teams regularly submitting rosters in the current league, and maybe some more guys here that didn't get involved due to either app functionality or format?  Certainly a decent base group to grow from

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
