The deadline to sign up is 10am tomorrow.

Please Note:
When I went in and signed up, I checked the "standings" and only saw 7 members.

So I chose to "join a new league" and searched for "Sand Trap." It showed 22 members, so I joined that league, and now my "Leaderboard" shows all 22.

I'm not sure if it's a glitch or what, but you may want to check your "Standings" to make sure you're in the right league. If not, it seems "joining another" and then basically just re-joining the "Sand Trap" league (see post #15) works.

ESPN has a good one called 'Best Ball' that I signed up for too. You have to pick 4 golfers and a spare for the week, but you have a cap of $50 million. The different players are given a $value and you pick your team based on this. Their value fluctuates from week to week with their play in recent weeks. You make your roster each week based on these values.

Scoring works by giving you one score for each round, based on the best score per hole of your team. Makes it interesting in that it is good to choose guys who have a lot of birdies/eagles, as the 'blow up' holes won't hurt the team score.

This is my first crack at it. Anyone played this in the past?

Yeah - two years ago that was our league. It had a lot of problems.

Due to some flaw in the system, I currently have three teams in the league now.

I'll write to support so that two of my teams can be deleted. This is obviously a result of the problems I was having as indicated in post #1.

I keep logging in and being sent back to the log-in screen. I'll try again later this evening, or in the worst case, I'll join mid-swing and lose out on some points.

Well, I got myself registered the other day and joined the league. I went to set my roster and it kicked me back to the start page. I went back in and set my roster and thought all was good. Unfortunately it didn't put me in the Sand Trap league. So my roster is just in the open division. Oh well. I guess I have some catching up to do next week. It's not too bad though, the guys I picked are not really lighting it up right now. Only Watney is under par.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
