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.

    • Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.
