How the flip is Jordan a B player but Vaughn Taylor is an A??  Am I missing something?

They spread the top players across all 3 categories. I'm not sure if this is the reason, but for limited field events, primarily WGC, it makes it so that you can field a full team across all 3 categories.
Seems to me that last year someone like Day or Rory was a "B" player.
The real trick is to try to figure out which 10 tournaments you are going to play the top guys.

Probably a silly question, but are the tee times listed on the Yahoo page local, or is that Hawaii time?

You can set it in settings on Yahoo to show the deadlines for changing your roster each round for your local time. Not sure about the tee times themselves.

Just joined the group, though not in time for this week's tournament; serves me right for taking a golf-free (and TST-free) December. I'll get you all at Waialae.

Off to a good start with Berger, Sneds, Mats and Reed and of course I'm still up to my old tricks (JW on the bench) :cry:

Still the proclaimed "King of the Bench" a trend I hope to change in 2017

Maybe I should state that in my 2017 Goals thread....

looks like the scores are in - congrats to jeffersonpark - 52pts.   I think I did ok for my first ever round of fantasy golf - Herron's Heros - 46.  

It definitely made me a bit more interested in today's coverage.  I like it.

So here are Wallys tips for new participants:

- watch the deadlines for changing your line-up (bench/starters), also be prepared for the yahoo clusterfuq when the schedule changes due to weather or completing the round
- if you can, be sure to look for WD's (I call it being Henrik'd, after he dropped out of a couple of events he was in my lineup - like the US Open)
- try to avoid making sentimental picks (local kids, love/hate Tiger/Rory/Jordan)
- not this week, but there will be events that morning/afternoon flights matter - so look at that when picking your starters/bench players.

And remember in fantasy golf, unlike when actually playing golf, Highest Score Wins

I didn't do too bad with 46 points. As a rookie, I didn't realize you get points for each round. :-P

Is the a rules page? I can't seem to find it.

At the very bottom select "help" It opens this page.  Scoring I

A note about earning BONUS points: Any player used in the starting lineup will receive BP.
Example: If JW wins, I start JW in round One but elect to use JS in other three rounds.
I would receive BP's with JW and if JS finishes 2nd or 3rd BP.
"A player does not need to be started in final round if they start in previous rounds to receive BP's."

Scoring in Fantasy Golf

A golfer can receive a maximum of 20 fantasy points in each round of a tournament. The golfer with the lowest real-life score in a round receives 20 points. Other golfers receive two fewer points for every stroke that they finish behind the leader -- i.e., a golfer one stroke back for the round receives 18 points; a golfer two strokes back gets 16. Golfers 10 or more strokes back receive zero points.

Example: If the leader of round 3 shoots a 67 and your golfer shoots a 72, you would get 10 points because your golfer is five strokes behind the leader of that particular round.

Keep in mind that the points are awarded based on the number of shots behind the leader of each round, and not the overall tournament leader.

You receive the total points earned by all active golfers on your team over all four rounds.

If a tournament round is officially canceled, no team will receive any points for that round. All other scoring rules stay the same. If a round is delayed or postponed, no points will be awarded until it is completed.

Here are some additional articles that explain Fantasy Golf scoring:

yeah, thanks for setting this up.  I actually picked the leader, walker, so maybe I should retire now.  but I also picked James Hahn who was basically last so that offset things nicely....ha

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
