I also just checked TGC App and there is a Fantasy  Golf tab in the menu so much easier on your phone. 

I’m going to download that today.  That webpage display does little to nothing for me.  

As much as I’m not a fan of yahoo their fantasy golf setup was pretty sweet.

This is my first try at fantasy golf. I thought I picked a pretty good lineup. I was wrong. I spent most of yesterday in last place.

I know its possible to do lots of research, to really pay attention, but in a large part this is pure dumb luck.  If it actually took skill, I wouldn't be (temporarily I'm sure ) in first place.  Welcome to TheSandTrap, @Riverdad

I checked yesterday after work and I was in 12th spot.  Somehow I’m back in second this morning.  Yay!

And like @DaveP043 said, it’s pretty much a crapshoot.  Best guesstimate wins.

I am hoping in this League through TGC that they keep the accumulated stats for a season long competition....all the talk on it talks about weekly contests. We will see next week I guess.

If they do not, I'll compose a spreadsheet and post results.
Most likely, I'll keep it on Google and provide a link to share.

I’m in 13th. Last year I spent the last two months in 13th place. My birthday is the 13th and I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. I guess it’s destiny.

Did an in depth search on the site and I think we will be able to view weekly performance and other data.
When a viewer goes to the "Leagues" tab, they will be able to select - Live, History and Leaderboard
There is also "Upcoming" which should update after each event ends.

Since this is the first week, the categories have no total data.
Once we progress they should become active. 

I've played around with a spreadsheet and have it available if needed.

I did notice we have 27 members, but only 18 active rosters this week?
Not sure if the other teams entered or if they simply bagged it.

So far it’s exciting... for me to bad Brendan Steele hasn’t done much... it seems to me the more birdies the better for scoring and hopefully the bogeys stay away as well as compared to the golfers overall positioning on the leaderboard...

Final standings "Bonus Points" are going to play a huge role in this format.
With the limited field this week, all teams / all players should earn BP's
The perfect storm would be to pick the winner along with multiple ties in 2nd place.
Top 7th place finishers will receive 10 or more points.

Any team which averages 50 or more BP's each week has picked well IMO.

I think it will take a bit to see what strategy is best in this format; and yes luck is definitely one of them. I went with 2 high priced guys and then 4 lowered, partly because there is not cut this week. I think next week I may try and get 6 middle of the road guys and see how that works out. 

[gogolfing]

The value of players this week seems disproportionate to last week's event....can get 2 high priced guys then it is slim pickings.....will be interesting.

Entered late - hopefully I can catchup

Patrick Rodgers - "WD"    No friggin points in 2nd rd.

CameronTringale  +4 will probably "MC"  ...   

Jimmy Walker +4 will probably "MC"     

Jimmy has always played well in this event - 

I'm totally scccrrreeewwwwed this week.

I've been so busy this week I forgot about the Fantasy League.

I hope I can crawl out of the basement today.
