My team has been set.

After making your picks you have to "Finalize" or whatever it's called. "Confirm" maybe.

Anyway, I've caught myself almost not doing that step too. It shows your six picks and you just click the "Confirm" button, but it's non-obvious that input is required there. Bad UI, I agree.

A habit I got in from BB and carry over to PE is to go back a few hours after making my picks and ensure the team shows up as I intend it. Not foolproof, but worth a shot and an easy fix on my end to what I agree is a bad UI.

Yeah, unfortunately I found that out after the fact. DOH! But it's all good. I'm sitting fairly high up in our league with missing a week.

Tough week this time. It was a good thing that I had Vijay, my next guy on the leaderboard was Furyk. Three of my guys were zeroes with Phil being one of them.

I was in the exact same boat. I almost had to cheer for that creep. I will settle for 2nd place points if it keeps him from winning.

I noticed that last week you were #98 for the entire week. Not too shabby.

Thanks. I did not even notice that. I just went back and looked. I was in a 48 way tie for 51st, but I must have had the worst tiebreaker. I tend to pick obscure guys for my 7th guy.

I managed to snag 2700 (Vijay), 364 (Furyk), 56 (Brandt), and 185 (Quinney). Mahan and Phil were bombs. 3305 total. But heck, I had one week with only 1000 points... And I moved up 631 spots in the overall ranking. I'm all of 1861 now. I'm also ninth in our league.

Bad week all around, eh?

Yeah, luckily I went with Vijay or I would have had nothing. Weir and Snedeker were the only other two on my team to pull points. I'm 5th in our league and just jumped inside the top 1,000 overall. I think thats pretty solid for missing a weeks worth of points completely.

It was one of those weeks that looked too good to be true and was. When you can get Phil, Vijay and Furyk on one team you have to figure three off the best in the world will pull some points. If Phil didn't crap the bed on Saturday he could have been right there.

Kevin Na managed to get me a few points, but Brian Gay withdrew and I didn't double check Thursday AM.

It was a lean week. I was chomping at the bit when I saw that I could have Phil, Fyruk and Vijay (I may hate him, but points are points). Throw in Kevin Na and I was stoked. I managed just over 3100 points, which isn't terrible considering that the weekly winner had 3959.

Too bad I entered my week 1 roster under the wrong league or I'd be in the top 10 of ours.

Wow! First place. I got pretty lucky. I too was drooling @ picking Phil, Furyk, & Vijay. I also picked Elkington, Perez, & Quinney. So far it's harder this year. Things are going a bit wonky, but it's been to my advantage. I want to get into the top 100 of everyone. Right now I think I'm 114. But boy, can that change quickly, both ways. Still, a lot of fun picking. Good luck to everyone from the Sand Trap, but not too much...

Things can change in a hurry. I went from 88th overall down to 254th in a single week, and got knocked out of first in the Sandtrap league for the first time this season. Watch your back putterhead See we have 2 Canadians at the top of the list for the Sandtrap League

Well 2.5 Canadians. My father was born in Montreal and moved to Florida in the 60s and married a local. So I get half credit.

Click on the standings button and it should show you the overall first and then the Sandtrap League at the bottom; that's what works for me.

    • It’s been a while since I’ve seen the word “golf” and the phrase “moment of truth” collide in the same sentence.  
    • I used to have a 21 degree Ping 7 wood, but it spun a lot and tended to come up short if there was any headwind or quartering wind.  Replaced it with a 20* Adams Idea Pro Tour Prototype.  Great hybrid and there are still some out there on eBay for decent prices (I think Langer still bags two of them). 
    • Wins the week before and files for divorce the same week. I’m not putting money on Rory.
    • Partial to the Golf Pride CP2 Pro.  Softer than a Tour Velvet and pretty durable (I play 5 times a week and they last a year or more with no issues).
    • Tiger Wood's Driver Clinic Got this on Twitter. Which then I found the video above.  Tiger asking Rory to hit that control cut. Rory talks a bit about how he likes to stand taller, so he doesn't feel like he can shallow it with the body. Tiger puts it in his words, staying on top of the ball. Which I presume for Tiger his feel for a cut. Even the PGA Tour players have their own ways to achieve similar shots and describe it with their own swing thoughts (feels). Good insight in how PGA Tour player's develop swing feels to produce the shot they want. Could be something as simple as a posture change.
