Sandtrap Fantasy Golf on ESPN

[Hogan Fan]

Hey Fantasy Golf friends. I just started a group called "the Sandtrap Club" on ESPN's fantasy golf game. I made a private group so just us Sandtrap members could be together. The password to join the group is "forum". (you can do a search for the group once you are in)
You will need to create a free account with ESPN then go to the Fantasy link, click on fantasy golf and it will walk you through the steps of creating a team name. I used my forum name, probably a good idea so we know who we all are.
This should be a lot of fun! Can't wait for the start of the golf season. Good luck to all!

This may be the fall-back group, but currently I think we were trying to get the "official" pgatour.com one to work. The "Salary Cap" game.

I've joined for now, though.

Great! Let me know when the PGA game is up and running. I'll join that one too.
I was wondering if there was an official game. I just joined and didn't know.
Thanks.

Great news. The 2007 PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf games have launched. You can sign up today. Check 'em out @ http://pgatour.fanball.com/

For 2007, we 2 games.

Salary Cap Cup is back for its 4th season. It's the simple, pick-5 cap game. It's a lot of fun and really easy to play.

League Championship is back for its second season. It's the ultimate fantasy challenge. This game really tests your knowledge of the pros. It includes customizable league style play where you draft and keep your players. There's head-to-head and rotisserie styles of play. So, you can create your own rules, and play your way. Like I said, this one is for the ultimate fantasy golf nut -- the rotisserie game is based on official TOUR stats in 10 key areas.

Best thing about both games -- they're fun and add a new level to following golf. Scoring is real-time with the live scoring from PGATOUR.com.

Take a look. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Cheers.

For those of you who haven't played ESPN Best Ball Challenge before, their game is a little different. You pick 4 golfers staying under a cap and you pick one guy to put on your bench. The guy on your bench does not count against your cap. It's a good idea to put guys like Tiger and Phil who don't play every week on your bench because you can freeze their salary by putting them on the bench that way you don't have to keep picking them up when they decide to play and paying top dollar for them. In this game when the players salary goes up you keep them for the price you paid for them until you drop them. If a players value decreases you can "rengotiate" his contract and get him at the lower value.
