Antiquated Code and Lazy or Stupid Developers

[iacas]

The fact that TourCast works on the Mac in only the oldest browser is inexcusable. Flat out inexcusable.

A bit of a rant on that here . Frickin' ridiculous. As a web developer myself, I know there's very little excuse (i.e. "none") for this. It's ridiculous.

The folks who coded up the TourCast stuff are either:
a) lazy
b) dumb
c) all of the above
d) a, b, and c above

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

P.S. Works fine in IE. A tad slow, given that it's IE and it was never very fast. Firefox on the Mac, Safari on the Mac, OmniWeb - all play flash files very quickly. IE, eh, "it works" but it's not the most enjoyable experience.

Quick update: I skipped the browser sniffing and went right to the source. I grabbed the URLs for every one of the TourCasts and made them my home page in Firefox. Clicking the link directly takes me to the appropriate page.

I'll eventually set it up so that it presents the current tournament and then previous tournaments below that, in reverse order. About ten minutes of PHP work.

I could post it to the Web if anyone was interested. Lets you avoid having to hit pgatour.com/tourcast and then choose the tournament from the popup menu.

I'm glad you understand all of that cause you lost me. I'm a grade "A+" surfer and an "F-" techie. If you mean that you'll create a link that brings me strait to the fantasy league then I'd appreciate it.

Nothing to do with the Fantasy League. For that, I

use this link . Bookmark it if you wish. I spent the five minutes (took ten, but that's cuz I had to look up all the dates). Here it is: http://thesandtrap.com/tourcast.golf Go there, and within one click you're on the TourCast page for the tournament. It's ugly right now (if people use it I'll pretty it up) but it loads fast. I put the link to the ESPN stuff at the top of the page.
