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.

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

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.

    • Day 319 - More mirror work, same focus on finishing higher and more towards the target. 
    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
