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 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.
