Hey thanks, @Club Rat.  I really appreciate the work you do with the spreadsheets and everything else with our fantasy gang.

Scott Stallings was a great guess.  I've been spending more than half of my player budget on two top end guys lately, and throwing darts at everything else.  It's been pretty lucky the last few weeks.

Hello TST Fantasy Golfers,  As many of you know, Yahoo has dropped fantasy golf for 2018.  Some digging has been done, and a replacement has been found. The PGA Fantasy golf was looked at, but it

Hello TST Fantasy Golfers, 


With Yahoo in the previous years, there were three segments.
The GC Fantasy appears to simply have a year long running total.

Would you or anyone like to suggest a format for our TST Fantasy?

My thoughts, still have three segments winners and use only the 7 top scores total each segment.
Then use the top 21 scores of all segments (7 scores from each) for the overall winner.

Maybe @iacas would award a badge to the overall winner?  

Any thoughts, @kpaulhus @Undr Par @Warren Zevon @Strat-Pack Rick @boogielicious @Wally Fairway @Carl Spackler @J M Brown @Shindig @Toffeelover @Ernest Jones

I think what you have suggested is a pretty good way to do it.

The issue with the running total that I'm finding is that picks don't carry over from 1 week to the next , meaning that you score no points if you forget. That's easily done over a year when you have family, work etc, not to mention holidays. Because the typical weekly points are around ~400, but the typical good-bad spread around ~100 ,  it means missing a single week would require 8 weeks of excellent scoring to make up. 2 or 3 missed (me already :cry: ) and you are realistically out of it.  Maybe not an issue to others, just my thoughts. 

Other ideas :

1) Points average ,subject to a minimum number of entries 

2) Double/extra points for Majors,WGCs etc

3) Number of weeks won as the first tie splitter, followed by something else (e.g. total points, or pts average)

4) Double/extra points for closing events, so that the finish holds some excitment

5) Some variant on your segment idea as above, for instance offering bonus points for winning a segment.

I like having segments for the same reasons others have stated.

The GC fantasy site is really goofy, it's got a few bugs in the site with scoring.

Your not in the boat alone. 8 out of the 17 teams selected Tricky Rickie this week.
I am Officailly ending my Fantasy relationship forever with him, it's over.

Dear Ricky,
After numerous weeks of selecting you as my Top fantasy pick, you have let me down and failed to make the CUT!!!
Therefore, It's OVER.  No more.
It will be a Win - WIn situation for the both of US.
You will make Cuts and WIn Millions and I may even Win a Fantasy Championship... 
Sincerely, The Club Rat
Ps. you can thank me after the season is over.

Fowler has been on my ‘don’t play them unless you have to’ list for a while.   I added Phil last year, to go along with Jim Furyk.

A very tough week with the lowest points YTD for a single event, 356 Pts.
The Bear Trap took it's toll on many.
Congrats to team "vpectol" as he overtakes The Club Rat, having players JT & LL for 50 bonus points.

@gogolfing finally comes out of hibernation and has Top Honors this week.
@gogolfing would you like to stay with GC season standings or use the Yahoo format with 3 - segments with Over-All?

For some reason, one of my picks dropped off. I wonder if there was a WD or I just messed up.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
