Hmm, I may have to try this. I've never been one for fantasy sports but a golf competition from the site I could get interested in. 

Jump in @Pretzel it's a lot of fun.

I'm in. Thanks @gogolfing 

@RandallT  looks like we're setup to go.

 

Thanks, John. I'll go join later today! Looking forward to it. The site isn't responding at the moment, but might be my tablet. Didn't you mention yahoo was dropping fantasy golf for 2016?  Maybe I got that wrong.

Great to see some new members on board; welcome @the fish and @LagShaft. @RandallT I was just on the Yahoo site and it is working. You guy need to watch out for @Club Rat @Undr Par and @sjduffers in the pool; they are ringers.

So do you pick a new group of golfers for each tournament? I'm not quite sure of how this works.

It appears as though the two experts picks aren't even playing this coming week, since only winners qualify for the tournament of champions. I know for certain Victor Dubuisson did not qualify for it.

Yes, you do: 2 in group A, 4 in group B and 2 in group C.  Then prior to each round, you must decide which 4 players (1 in A, 2 in B and 1 in C) are active for that round while the other 4 are sitting out. You get points for the distance between the lowest scorer of the day and each of your players, so if one of your players has the lowest round of the day, you get 20 points. If a player is 2 strokes behind behind the lowest scorer, you get 16 points for that player, 3 strokes behind and you get 14 points, and if you are 10 strokes behind (it happens!), you get 0.  Add it all up for the 4 active players.

Make sure to check your line-up after the cut and before the 3rd round starts or you could be with fewer (or none at all!) players in position to get any points over the weekend, as a cut player (or WD) obviously doesn't get within 10 strokes of the better round over each day of the weekend...

Also, you get bonus points for having started (any round, not just the final round) any of the top 3 players (and ties), with 20 for the winner, 10 for the runner-up and 5 for the 3-place finishers.

I don't think the list of players in the field for the first tourney is accurate yet, and the expert picks probably aren't either.  Check back after the first of the year, and don't forget to check the box that says "entered in the field" or you get the list of all PGA Tour players.

The field is usually set properly on Yahoo the Monday afternoon prior to the start of the tournament, so wait until then. Be wary of the Expert Picks on Yahoo....a good chunk of us in TST league finish better than they do. PGA Tour usually has a good summary of the field and track record of the players in the field.

Yahoo indicates that they are, but for now everyone can signup and if Yahoo does maintain the golf fantasy then we would set for another season hopefully.

I'm in!  I've been out of fantasy football for a couple years. I'll see how this goes.

Thanks. I did fantasy football for a while but it began taking up too much time, so I dropped it. It will be nice to get back into it

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
