Can we draft from the web?  I try very much to not do things on my phone a lot of the time.  I slip when I'm consciously resting, but that's about it.  Or I guess if I'm anticipating an important email.

Yes, it all functions the same, I took screenshots from the app, but the process is identical.

So we are underway for our test week, definitely let me know if there are any questions about the format or functionality of Fantrax.  Once we are through this week as a test run, the league will be reset to begin officially after the Presidents Cup at Sanderson Farms.

Would love to keep growing it before we start for real, but I should be able to keep it open for anyone to join late as well.  Tell your friends, the more the merrier!

A good showing from @coachjimsc in our preseason tournament, hopefully everyone feels ok with the format and Fantrax functionality.  I believe I have a slightly simpler way to manage your lineups week to week, but it won't be functional until we "finish the draft."  Obviously there is no draft, but checking that box early makes it harder for people to join, however it does look like I can manually add new players once the open window to join closes.

As I mentioned, I reset the league following this tournament so we can kick off for real after the President's cup.  So one more week for anyone to get in and join for the full season!

We are in our season kickoff week!  Official fantasy PGA play will begin this Thursday, don't forget to set your teams!

A couple small changes as we get started - first, I have a slightly easier way for setting lineups.  You should now see a tab within Fantrax named "Adjust my Roster."  From this screen you can seemlessly add players to your current 6 for the week, and easily drop any players for quick changes.  A subtle change, but one that I think should save some clicks week to week as you're setting your team.

Second, I had to close the open enrollment for people to join the league, but it is NOT closed off completely.  Anyone new who would like to get in, please still go to www.fantrax.com and create an account if you don't already have one, and leave your username here.  I can manually add you to the league and you'll be good to go!

As always, any questions or issues with Fantrax just let me know and I'll help out the best I can.

@Friz Can teams make substitutions during an event?
If players do not make cut, can teams trade or pickup players for weekend play?
Or once an event starts, the team roster is locked for the entire event?

The 6 you pick at the beginning are fixed for that tournament.  Missing the cut is intended to carry a penalty.  So yes, after players tee off Thursday everything remains locked until the next tournament

I got off to a good start in week 1, although still hope to get more than 4 guys through the cut this week.

Reminder to adjust your lineups for this week, you can swap guys in and out every week without penalty before tournaments start to make sure you have 6 active guys for that week, but each golfer can only be used in 4 tournaments all season.

And again anyone who would like to join in late can always do so!  Just let me know here and I can manually add you to the league

@Friz 

The player data base does not list Tom Kim?
Also, the data base is total BS in regards to listing over 500 players, many who are no longer active or have 
Tour Cards.
I'm not really sold on the Fantrax Fantasy Golf UI.
Just my 2 cents worth, hopefully some other application other than PGA Tour will become available next year.

My other gripe, is when teams try to enter players from the data base, it should only list players who are 
playing in the event. Teams must search other websites just to find out who's playing in the event.

End of Rant: I'm not directing these situations at you, just pointing out the differences from recent leagues.

Yeah - I'm not sold yet either, but this will help you pick your roster.
When you go to the players page, click on the arrow in the status/team box and then select in the upcoming event. And then you get only the players entered.
But it looks like it is down to you, me & Fritz, and I'm in 3rd place; guess I'll have to focus my 2 minutes a week effort on the pgatour fantasy site

Tom Kim is Joohyung Kim, its using his real Korean name.

And as Wally Fairway mentioned, when selecting your team for the upcoming tournament, you can always filter to "In Upcoming Event."  The screenshot below may help with how to get to that.

It may take some getting used to, I think it CAN do everything you'd ideally like, just figuring out the intricacies of it may take time.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
