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.

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.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
