I would like to do a "fantasy league" for the 2005 PGA Tour.

Something like this: every week, you pick three players. You earn their total prize winnings for the week. Maybe if they miss the cut you lose $250,000 or something... But anyway, we'd keep a running total and at the end of the year, we'd have a winner.

Not sure what that could turn into - in a year, the site could be far enough along that we could have prizes, etc. - but right now, I couldn't promise anything. There also aren't many of us around, so a competition between five people isn't too terribly interesting, is it?

Thoughts? Ideas? I'm not sure I'd have the time to write all of the code (PHP, MySQL if you're interested in helping out), but it could be fun...

I play fantasy everything. And last year, I was quite good at fantasy golf. :) I love the idea. I would like to participate in lieu of my pending deployment (since it is up in the air). If I do go, so be it. If not, that sounds like a blast. And even if we are a small group, it is sometimes more fun amongst close friends. Bragging rights are prize enough for me.

Fantastic idea, Erik.

Oh yeah, count me in too. It sounds like a lot of fun. I remember something like this on sandbox dot com a while ago, but trashed that place due to all the spam they sent me.

OK, I've not created our own but I have created a group with ESPN. Here are some of the links you need:

Create a New Account
Main Fantasy Golf Page

The group is called "Sand Trap" and the password (it's a private group) is "bunker" (without quotes of course). If you have any trouble, PM or IM (AIM) me.

You can win quite a few prizes with this, and it's a system that's already "built."

Good idea to go with an already built system. At work we use CBS Sportslines NCAA tournament system and it's pretty nice. I've never used ESPN's fantasy stuff, but I can't imagine that someone like ESPN could screw this up. :)

Alright chumps. This is my first time playing fantasy anything. Watch out for my beginner's luck! This 50 point cap sure is a pain.

If you join, make sure you set your roster or you won't be eligible for the first tournament (Mercedes). It's a double-points tournament, so make sure you fill your rosters.

I wish you could choose three people whose points totaled less than 50, but alas, you must pick four, so that rules out going with Woods, Els, and Singh.

Ben, we look forward to the challenge.

Crap shoot here too, and it's only about 40 players! Just wait until we get full fields from which to choose, eh?!

Just imagine, all of us picking Tiger and Ernie or Ernie and Phil and getting close to 50, while someone else fills his bucket with 4 unknowns who rate a total of 12.3, and those unknowns win or find top-10 spots. You could get a big lead that way.

I'm making no predictions on where I'll finish, but in the spirit of creating some competitive fire, I'll say "I'm gonna kick your butts!"

I'm a fantasy league newbie. Got a question. Can you pick any player for your foursome regardless whether or not someone else has that player. Any combo under the salary cap is fine, right?

Right. You just have to have four. If you want to trade someone out, you have to choose his replacement right then. If you choose only three, your entry is rejected. Choose four. Any four.

I'm in if we do the " Seniors" and the " Juniors"

Join up! There isn't really a way to do it without creating a separate league, but there are only going to be ten to fifteen or so of us, so it'll be very easy to see by how much you're kicking our butts, geezer.

BTW, I'm 26 - which group should I be in?

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
