EOI - Fantasy Golf for the 2011 PGA Tour

[chappy1970]

Just trying to gauge interest at this stage.

I participated in this this year, I recognise that it is a long season and a big committment, but is also heaps of fun.

I was thinking as there is 3 seasons on the PGA tour calendar, the following could apply

$10 from each competitor to the winner of the first season.
$10 from each competitor to the winner of the second season.
$10 from each competitor to the winner of the third season.
$10 from each competitor to the overall winner.

Note: If you committ to the comp you committ for the whole season i.e. you are up for the whole $40 regardless.

I'm happy to admin the comp and the normal Fantasy Golf rules apply, refer online for those, although the one rule that I can recall is that you can only pick specific golfers a certain amount of times for the year, I think it might be 12. And you can only swap golfers from your weekly selections at the conclusion of each round, this can sometimes present problems with our time zones.

Anyway let me know who might be interested and if enough people are keen I'll get it up and going.

[Peppas]

I might be interested, how do you play fantasy golf though?

[chappy1970]

Peppas,
For each event the field is divided in to Group A, B and C.

I'm not sure of the criteria for each however the higher ranked players seemed to be pooled in A and so forth down to B and C.

You are allowed 8 players per event; 2 for A, 4 for B and 2 for C, with only 1 A, 2 B and 1 C player being in your live line up for each days play. You can change any/all of your line up after rd1, 2 and 3 are completed.

The 8 you select are the 8 you have for that tourney, points are awarded after the conclusion of each round based on their position in the field relative to the leader. Bonuses are awarded for the members of your LIVE team that are leading after the tourney.

That's about it in a nutshell.

It's great fun and you can stink it up in a few tourney's without affecting your chances of winning. You only need to have the winner in your team 5-6 times for the year to have a big chance of winning.

I think a minimum of about 10-12 Ozgolfers is need to make it worth while so I'll wait to see if there is any more interest.

Better to have everyone pay upfront?

It's all done online right?

No problem, who do we send the money too? I'll join when I get home...

[chappy1970]

I think we will just apply the honesty system and the winner will be paid by teh other players at the conclusion of each segment.

If that doesn't sit well with the competitors, I'm happy to let the $ sit in my Paypal account if that suits.

anyone have a link on how this fantasy golf works or is that explained when I log on?

I don't mind paying now or later. IMO up front would be better. The winner shouldn't have to chase people up. I'm speaking on behalf of the winner as my dosh will be purely a donation.:)

[Marto65]

I'm in too ... but you do need the group number ...

I'm set up.

Team Name - You're Welcome! (MegaWatty)

Do the blokes that aren't playing that week become unavailable to put into your roster? God I hope I don't have to scour the field each week.

How do they have A, B and C's for the Tournament Of Champs to start the season? Most are going to be A's!

I am seriously the world's worst tipper, so enjoy my money y'all.

To all who haven't played before.
You must review your roster each week, the team you pick one week, will remain there for the next week unless changed by the team owner. This means that if the players aren't playing in the next weeks event your roster will be a man down.

Also, each player can only ever be selected 10 times for the year. I ran in to trouble with Ernie Els late in this years season.

There aren't too many gotcha's, just a couple of critical ones you need to be aware of.
Chappy

[Marto65]

The field is in for the first event...



Appleby, Stuart
Haas, Bill Ogilvy, Geoff Atwal, Arjun Hoffman, Charley Palmer, Ryan Beckman, Cameron Johnson, Dustin Pettersson, Carl Bettencourt, Matt Johnson, Zach Poulter, Ian Bohn, Jason Kim, Anthon yRose, Justin Byrd, Jonathan Kuchar, Matt Scott, Adam Clark, Tim Lamely, Derek Slocum, Heath Crane, Ben Lunde, Bill Stricker, Steve Day, Jason Mahan, Hunter Villegas, Camilo Els, Ernie McDowell, Graeme Watson, Bubba Furyk, Jim Mediate, Rocco Garrigus, Robert Molinari, Francesco

[MegaWatty]

Just had a go at my first list.

I'll check back on the 4th to make sure it's A-OK.

[mike]

I played the fantasy World Cup. That was ok because you only had to change the roster once a week. This looks pretty high maintenance, potentially changing your roster 3 times in a weekend. I'll give it a go.

Is this money up front or not?

[chappy1970]

Mike that can happen, but if you pick a team that performs poor enough, you don't have to worry about shuffling the team over the weekend.

I really enjoyed this comp last season and got the chocolates from a comp with 40 tipsters after stringing together 5 weeks in a row when I picked the winner each week in the last season.

Hears hoping I can do it again

[mike]

What the? Is that a typo?

I'll join if not too late
I'm already in Yahoo tipping as Numnuts

[chappy1970]

OK we have 11 so far, may pick up a couple more strays before next weeks tee off.

Nice little earner for someone if they have a good year

Not me. I'm the worst tipper/gambler history has ever seen!

Sorry I didn't sort it for you, and attach photos and a brief WITB description ...
;)

[chappy1970]

For those that don't know, Yahoo only ever display players for selection in team rosters that are in the field

[Peppas]

So let me get this right - you choose 8 players for a tournament and can only play 4 a round. So you can swap your bench players in for different rounds if a player misses the cut or something?

Then for the next tournament you can choose a completely different set of players?

[MegaWatty]

Sounds right to me. Points are awarded for low rounds and then how many strokes back from the low round that your squad had.

Bonus points are awarded for places as well.

I struggled to find the rules on the site but a quick google search had me sorted in minutes.

[chappy1970]

Yes Peppas and Mega, correct.

I'm not sure how they bracket the A, B and C players as some top 10 players can appear in the B group.

It's common for tipsters to select similar top tier players in their line up. The best way to get a jump on the tipping group is to jag a player from group C who either wins the event or comes very close.

Now to find them, that is the problem.

[Peppas]

Sweet, thanks for that. I'm ready for the first tourney, POW!

[chappy1970]

Great to see Ziggy back on the scene

[Marto65]

Looks like 3 guys kept Ogilvy in their team ....

[chappy1970]

I thought that Ogilvy was going to hit a drive then withdraw to get some $$ as last place.

p.s. I took him out of my lineup :)

[MegaWatty]

He doesn't need to anymore. Rules are that intent to start are enough for prize money. No Fedex points though.

[chappy1970]

I bloody well had J Byrd in my line up and took him out.

[MegaWatty]

Go Zach J with a plastic bag shoe! He hurt his tie so they've cut out the front if his shoe and covered it with a plastic bag to keep it dry!

How good was Bubba's driver off the deck on 18?

[MegaWatty]

Looks like 3 guys kept Ogilvy in their team ....

Rookie error! I didn't hit save after switching in Dustin Johnson. **** me!

[matty]

Let me get this right. We can swap our bench player with our current player from the 8 guys picked for this tournament. For eg I can swap my A group player with the bench A group player for round 2?

If this is correct, how do I do it? How do I swap Kuchar for Furyk in my A group?

[chappy1970]

Matty if you have Furyk as your active Group A player and you have Kuchar on the bench, simply click the blue section of the player and drag them accross to the left hand side where Furyk is.

Kuchar will then take Furyk's place, like he has with Graeme MacDowell for me :)

Make sure you click the save button though!!!

[MegaWatty]

Stupid save button.

[Marto65]

Kuchar will then take Furyk's place, like he has with Graeme MacDowell for me :)



Great minds ... and fools.

[chappy1970]

I made the mistake of assuming that Adam Scott had maintained some sort of form over the Aussie Summer..... stupid, stupid, stupid

[Marto65]

Great minds ... and fools.

Dammit ... McDowall is on fire today ...

[MegaWatty]

He hit 17 greens yesterday but struggled with the grain in the greens.

He looked pretty good!

[matty]

chappy, if your bench players don't get selected to play in the tournament at all, does it still mean they have played once from their ten times over the season?

[matty]

Disregard, just had a look at the fantasy site and saw the amount of starts left beside each player. Happy with my start. Not bad for a bunch of Nevilles.

[mike]

Great to see Ziggy back on the scene
Hmm. I read his post . Charming.

Chappy what's the go with the bet? Are we up for $10 or $40? And were we supposed to pay up front?

[MegaWatty]

Hunny Dippers Mike?

[mike]

Yep. How on earth did you figure that out?

[mike]

All pretty close. It'll be interesting once the full field events get going.

[Peppas]

So how often do you have to change your lineup?

[MegaWatty]

Once a week if you want. Once the field is up, then away you go!

[Peppas]

Sweet thanks, I'll check it more often :)

[chappy1970]

All,
For what it's worth I think the $ should be paid each season and to the winner.

Rather than to a communal fund.

Just my 2cents worth

[Marto65]

+1 :)

[Peppas]

How long does each season last?

[MegaWatty]

Weather seasons.

[mike]

3 months.

[MegaWatty]

You're welcome. ;)

[Peppas]

You're welcome. ;)

Thanks! :)

[MegaWatty]

Looking at a 42 point first round.

Thank you John Daly!

[mike]

I picked a pack of brain dead retards.

[MegaWatty]

Thanks! :)

On fire son!

[mike]

Trying to change my roster and can't see how. I did it last week. Plain forgot how to do it.
Anyone?

[Peppas]

I dont think you can change your roster during a tourney. You can swap in your bench players for players in your foursome though, just drag the blue box next to the player you want to sub in over the blue box of the player you want to sub out.

[mike]

Swap the bench players, yep that's what I meant. Thanks I'll try that.

EDIT Thanks Peppes that worked.

[MegaWatty]

Remember to hit save!

[Peppas]

Hey Mega which team is yours?

[Peppas]

Actually I worked it out :)

[MegaWatty]

;)

[mike]

Go Badds. How the hell do they work these points out?

[MegaWatty]

20 points for the days low score. 2 points less for every shot below that your player shoots.

[mike]

So how did he get 22 pts? And does position count?

[mike]

So how did he get 22 pts? And does position count?Cancel that I read it wrong. I also read the scoring details. No more dumb questions from me.

[Peppas]

I dunno how the scoring works either but my team sucks right now...

[MegaWatty]

Heaps of teams have players missing after being cut!

36 holes for them all tomorrow.

[mike]

I dunno how the scoring works either Here you go.
A player can receive a maximum of 20 fantasy points in each round of a tournament. The player with the lowest real-life score in a round receives 20 points. Other players receive two fewer points for every stroke they finish behind the leader - i.e. a player one stroke back for the round receives 18 points, a player two strokes back gets 16. Players 10 or more strokes back receive zero points.
You receive the total points earned by all active players on your team in each round provided that they have not already been active in 10 tournaments (see the Maximum Starts (http://help.yahoo.com/help/golf/grules/grules-06.html) section for more information).
Bonus points are awarded for players placing in the top three at each tournament. First place players earn 20 bonus points, second place 10 and third place 5. To earn bonus points for your team, a player must be active for at least one round of the tournament.






but my team sucks right now... You have GOT to be kidding. You've got the leader and a 6th there. You should swap Choi for Els. No, on second thoughts leave it as it is.

[Peppas]

You have GOT to be kidding. You've got the leader and a 6th there. You should swap Choi for Els. No, on second thoughts leave it as it is.

Aha, you notice that, the problem is I had him on my bench when he shot his -6. So I didn't get any points! I've only had 2 guys scoring me points most days, Day and Rose. KJ didn't make the cut :( Woops, I never check the leaderboard, I'll shut up now.

[matty]

I picked a pack of brain dead retards.

Ditto. 4 of my retards didn't make the cut. Had Appleby in the team before I swapped him at the last second. FIG.

[chappy1970]

I see that a number of players who made the cut still didn't get to platy the last round. They have a status of MDF, not sure what that means, but all my active players got a start in the last round anyway :)

[MegaWatty]

Is a rule where they for example have a cut of 70 plus ties with a maximum of 76. If there are more than 76 then they go to the closest score to 70 players for the cut.

The MDF players get Fedex points and cash but don't play the weekend.

[chappy1970]

And no Fantasy points?

[MegaWatty]

Nope. It's like getting a certificate of participation. "You made the cut but really you didn't. Here's a nominal amount of coin and if you have exemption, we'll see you next week".

[MegaWatty]

**** me! I've done it again!

I didn't sub out Allenby for missing the cut and have already lost out on 14 points from Stricker. Round 3 would have been a 58 point round. Of course I don't have Stricker for round 4 either.

God this can be frustrating!

[chappy1970]

I have Tim Clark and he is firing today, but I also have Michael Sim and he has fallen apart.

[matty]

Who the hell is Mark Wilson? And what has he done before?

[Eag's]

Mark Wilson is a very solid player, that is his third win in four years.

[Marto65]

Is a rule where they for example have a cut of 70 plus ties with a maximum of 76. If there are more than 76 then they go to the closest score to 70 players for the cut.

The MDF players get Fedex points and cash but don't play the weekend.

It probably had something to do with them having to get through 36 holes today.

I think I did ok this tourney ... just waiting for the final points.

[MegaWatty]

It was invoked in a tighter fashion this tourney, but it's been around since 2008 I think I read.

[matty]

Mark Wilson is a very solid player, that is his third win in four years.

Had never heard of him before. Must fly under the radar a bit.

[chappy1970]

Seems I performed in this comp a year to early.

The winner on Fantasy Golf this year in the MYGOLFSPY league gets a brand new set of MP-53's. I won last year and got some nice prizes, but nothing like that

[Eag's]

Had never heard of him before. Must fly under the radar a bit.

Not if you watch as much golf as I do :)

[mike]

Woohoo! Eat my dust.

[mike]

How many got caught out by this starting a day early?

[Peppas]

I'm hoping you since you're winning :)

[MegaWatty]

Me! ****!

[Marto65]

****ing Tim Clark !!! I had my team in .. checked it yesterday ... and he pulls out late ...

[chappy1970]

Same Marto, F%^k it

[MegaWatty]

I had one player in mine from last week that entered. He's on my bench!

Tim Clark said last week he was pulling out because his Footjoy's ripped his feet apart.

[Steve57]

Same Marto, F%^k it

Ditto!

[Marto65]

I could forgive a rookie ... but Tim Clark should know better !! ... He knows there are Fantasy Leagues out there, with plenty of Australians competing ... he should have officially withdraws a couple of days ago, instead of while we were all asleep.
What an arse*ole.

(Tongue firmly in cheek). (not in the cheek of his ....)

[MegaWatty]

LOL

[Peppas]

Who's Tim Clark?

[Peppas]

Was he the favourite? How do you guys know who these players are? I just pick the ones I know and pick a few names that sound promising...

[Marto65]

He's a South African ... if you read pgatour.com ... you'll get plenty of hints as to who you might want in your team in a certain week.

[mike]

How do you guys know who these players are? I just pick the ones I know and pick a few names that sound promising...I have a system. I close my eyes and point.

How else would I have picked J.J. Henry?

[matty]

I'm pretty sure I saw that he pulled out at least a full day before it started. He had some red initials next to his name. I had him in my line-up.

Probably should have mentioned here that he pulled out. :wink:

[mike]

Things are getting nasty.

[matty]

...and so early in the season.

[Peppas]

Jeez research! Sounds like alot of work. I'm playing fantasy NBA at the same time. A little easier but just as time consuming argh! At least I got some points today WOOOO!

[MegaWatty]

Here's a tip for you....The current world number one will NOT be playing at The Players!

[Peppas]

Here's a tip for you....The current world number one will NOT be playing at The Players!

Who's world number 1 now anyways?

[MegaWatty]

Westwood.

[Peppas]

Oh yeah... thanks. Good thing they have the show only entered golfers option :)

[Marto65]

I have a system. I close my eyes and point.

How else would I have picked J.J. Henry?

How else would you pick Tag Ridings?

[mike]

Same method.

[mike]

Here's a tip for you....The current world number one will NOT be playing at The Players!
How do you know this? I love Sawgrass.

[MegaWatty]

Watching The Golf Channel online. They haven't stopped talking about it. They reckon that the PGA may change the rules of 10 games a year for non USPGA players.

It basically didn't fit into his schedule that he based around the majors.

[Marto65]

Hey Mike ... you've gotta be more careful about when you use Ryan Moore .... he had a really bad sniffle ...

[Marto65]

I cant believe he'd withdraw ... just because snot is oozing from his nose on to the ball while he was putting ..

[simmsy]

hopefully without offending too many of you people, i just entered a team into this. will pullout if need be.

[MegaWatty]

I can't see an issue!

Remember the SAVE button! It's awesome!

[simmsy]

where's THAT!!

[MegaWatty]

The big bright button next to your roster.

This week is gonna be good. Off to Torrey we go.

[simmsy]

how many will pick tigger?

[MegaWatty]

Already have. I reckon Foley is gonna have this boy at the top of his game!

[simmsy]

yep me too, a couple months out of the spotlight working on his game.....watchout!

[Peppas]

That 10 appearance limit, is that 10 appearances for the whole year? Or 10 for each season? :)

[Peppas]

And yeah, I'm gonna have Tigger in my lineup woo!

[Marto65]

I'd say it's 10 for the year .... I was thinking of saving the Tiger for later ...

[matty]

Even when he's not at the top of his game he is still lurking around. Would be good to have him in your lineup when he pulls out one of his awesome rounds.

[simmsy]

Does ur player get 10 rounds fir the year or is it 10 comps(10x4rounds)

[MegaWatty]

If they are in your first four at any time in a tourney, then it's counted as one use. Even if it's just for one round.

[Peppas]

Even when he's not at the top of his game he is still lurking around. Would be good to have him in your lineup when he pulls out one of his awesome rounds.

Yeah you gotta have faith in him to start out hot :)

[Peppas]

POW!

[matty]

That's the question. Use him or save him for later.

[Peppas]

USE him do it!

[matty]

Sounds like you're saving him. Bit of tactics coming into play Peppas? :mrgreen:

[simmsy]

My money is on him firing on either thur or fri.

[Peppas]

Sounds like you're saving him. Bit of tactics coming into play Peppas? :mrgreen:

Saving who? I'm starting the MAN! POW!

[Peppas]

My money is on him firing on either thur or fri.

I'm hoping he comes out with both guns blazing! Then he gives a big up yours to the peeps who doubted him then I get alot of fantasy points!

[MegaWatty]

I reckon 99% of people will have him. I'd love to see him win at Torrey!

[mike]

I'm not picking him.

[Peppas]

I'm not picking him.

Interesting strategy :)

What part of the Gong are you Peppas. I grew up in Thirroul.

I grew up in Fairy but now live in West Wollongong, near Mt Keira. Thirroul is nice, expensive now though!

[mike]

Yeah it's changed completely from the place I knew. You a member anywhere? My brother is a member at either Kembla Grange or Port. I can never remember.

Ha it's changed since I was a kid. Driving through there now I barely remember it like that, my oldies used to work in the RSL at Austi at one stage when I was a kid and I have no recollection of Thirroul at all now when I go through there.

Yeah I joined Shell Cove Links about 3 months ago. I lose alot of balls there!

“@KellyTilghman: Tiger Woods' last 5 starts at Torrey Pines: W-W-W-W-W (the last is '08 US Open). Wwwwwow.”

I don't think I'm giving much away to the majority of people that will be starting with him.

[Peppas]

Well he frigging better well not let me down... or I'll be pissed.

[Marto65]

I'm not starting with him ... I'll save him for other tournaments.

I hear he's hitting it everywhere ... fairways, greens , in the hole ...

[MegaWatty]

How many tourneys a year does he actually play in the US?

[Marto65]

About 7.

[MegaWatty]

Really? Is that it?

[Marto65]

3 Majors ...
The Memorial
The Players ...
The 4 World Events.
The Fedex Cups
The Farmers ...
Bay Hill (?)

[live4golf]

Maybe it has been answered here but how do the reserves work...what is the point of them? Can you change during a tournament? Too lazy to search on iPad, could not find on yahoo golf.

[matty]

You can change your players for each round if you want. It might be that one of your starting 4 have a shocker and you want to swap him for one of your reserves. If you use someone for 1 round or all 4 rounds it means you have used them once out of the ten times you can use them throughout the year. Remember to press SAVE if you swap players around between rounds or when selecting them.

[mike]

Excellent 1st round from Simmsy.

[Peppas]

Who's Simmsy?

[MegaWatty]

Errrr. Simmsy.

[Peppas]

Errrr. Simmsy.

Is this a player or Simmsy from the forum?

[MegaWatty]

Forum. He joined late.

[simmsy]

thank you very much, i'm comin to get you peppajack!

[mike]

Simmsy is a WAnker. Goes by the Yahoo name of CrownLager or something like that. Late entry.

We're all out to catch that Peppas dude.

[Peppas]

You mean Peppa's Peeps? :)

You'll catch me, I can't keep up my guessing game and winning the whole season...

[Peppas]

Who's JPrescott on here? Why's he hate everyone so much? He better pay up if I win too :)

[simmsy]

CrownRoyals is me - very lucky first round for me don't worry im all bluff.

i suspect that JP guy is just joking otherwise he has a wire loose somewhere.

[Peppas]

Ahh ok. I thought about trash talking him a little but decided not to incase he took it the wrong way :)

[simmsy]

yeah i reckon if he continues on like he is i'll say something but yeah who knows?

[MegaWatty]

It's the world famous bloke that was banned with the best ever exit speech posted across several different threads.

[mike]

JP was OK. He just got wound up too easily and abused the wrong people.

[Peppas]

Ahh... I wasn't around when he left. And I've never seen the exit speech so no idea. I'll just stay quiet on there for now and see how the tourney pans out...

[simmsy]

it was thing of legend for the 16minutes that it was up on the threads. i consider myself one of the lucky ones that saw it.

[MegaWatty]

I own a copy of it.

[Peppas]

I own a copy of it.
Cool send me a copy :)

[simmsy]

post it up here....

see how long it lasts this time around.

[Peppas]

Go Tigger, 5 shots off the lead. Trying to decide whether to bring in Haas seeing as he's first or stick with fowler and mahan who are both coming 3rd... argh. Sorry Bowdo, you're moved to the bench too woo!

[simmsy]

well that's the last time i make changes late at night after drinking:

out -
haas
ricky
A Kim

in -
Imada
M Jones
Boo

what a tosser!!

[Marto65]

I went with a team that I could swap them all, so I could have guys in the first two rounds that only played the easier North course .... but that didn't pan out too well.

Still ... I have Haas .. and a full team to play with in the last two rounds.

[mike]

Jesus peppas how are you doing this?

[Peppas]

Jesus peppas how are you doing this?

Pure luck mate :) Honestly I don't know much about the PGA tour, just pick people I've heard of and if I have a spare slot just pick a dude. That's how I picked Haas. But he's on my bench anyways, Fowler and Mahan are both coming in at 3rd so not sure who to take out if I take one out... so might just leave it for now :) Do I still get the bonus points if someone on my bench comes first?

[mike]

To earn bonus points for your team, a player must be active for at least one round of the tournament.

If you think Haas might win you'd better use him.

[Peppas]

[/B]If you think Haas might win you'd better use him.

Wait and see how he goes tomorrow, if he has a lead up maybe I'll stick him in :)

Another question - if I sub a player out for a round then sub him in for a round, does that count for 2 appearances or just 1??

[Peppas]

I worked out my own stupid question by looking at the rules :)

[Peppas]

Come on Tigger, you can make up the 8 shots!

[Peppas]

Damn, last day 2pts hurts...

[Marto65]

My decision not to take Tiger - vindicated.

[matty]

My decision not to take Tiger - vindicated.

+1. Mickelson earnt me some good points. But 3 of my B-List players failed to make the cut, so I was stuffed anyway.

[Peppas]

All my players faded on the last day :( 3 of them finished in the top 10 but that doesn't frigging help me if they dont score me points!

[mike]

Poor you. Leading by 40 odd points.

Things change quick. I went from 2nd to 6th in what felt like ten minutes.

No sympathy for the guy on top, I get it, tall poppies and all that... How's life in 6th spot buddy? :)

[MegaWatty]

Better than in 10th I reckon!

Stupid save button and early start at The Bob Hope.

It's a long season mate, still not even halfway through winter yet!

[MegaWatty]

Aren't there season related prizes as well? I play shit to win. That's just me! ;)

[Peppas]

Peppas plays for keeps!

Waste Management Phoenix Open up next, pick some shit kickers and you'll be right :)

[chappy1970]

I hate it when they frickin suspend play, makes for a PITA when you have to swap out your players

[MegaWatty]

When are you able to do it?

Early tomorrow morning?

[chappy1970]

Not sure Mega

[MegaWatty]

I just swapped some around and is showing them as playing in the second round for me but not the first.

So the answer is now.

[mike]

Ha. Ten of us picked Mickelson.

[MegaWatty]

Ricky was a good pick.

[Peppas]

Yah I wish I had picked him. I'm getting smack talked hard on there :)

[mike]

What was the punt again? $10 each per season?

[Peppas]

Yep

$10 from each competitor to the winner of the first season.
$10 from each competitor to the winner of the second season.
$10 from each competitor to the winner of the third season.
$10 from each competitor to the overall winner.

[MegaWatty]

Both of my C's missed the cut for the second week running.

****en Vegas! Got nothin'.

[mike]

Thanks peppas I thought it was something like that.

Mega, I don't think many of the C's made the cut.

[MegaWatty]

That's why they're called C's.

[Peppas]

That's why they're called C's.

C for CUT!?

[MegaWatty]

That too.

[simmsy]

Mark Wilson you little ***'n beauty!!:lol:

only spewing i missed him in the 3rd round due to the messed up schedule i didn't get Anthony Kim out even though he missed the cut. still Mark Wilson continued the form on the 4th day.

[Marto65]

JB Holmes ended up being an inspired pick for me ... up into second place ...

[Peppas]

JB Holmes ended up being an inspired pick for me ... up into second place ...

Nice, overtake me so then Zig can smack talk you for being on top :)

[Marto65]

I could forgive a rookie ... but Tim Clark should know better !! ... He knows there are Fantasy Leagues out there, with plenty of Australians competing ... he should have officially withdraws a couple of days ago, instead of while we were all asleep.
What an arse*ole.

(Tongue firmly in cheek). (not in the cheek of his ....)

So ... Tim Clark does it again ... just not to me this time. But to almost everyone else ...

[chappy1970]

Agreed, T Clark is a turd, he gives absolutely no thought to those poor souls that have him in their starting line up.

[Peppas]

yeah the frigging jerk, why did I pick him for? I need to stop picking the guy at the top of the list...

[mike]

So that's your secret. Noted.

[Peppas]

So that's your secret. Noted.

Yeah, note it. Follow it. Then watch your slide down the rankings :)

[Marto65]

Look out ladies ... we have a

NEW LEADER !!

[matty]

Without looking, I bet they didn't pick Clark. Is it you Marto?

[MegaWatty]

It's certainly not me!!!

[BroKar]

anyone want to start one up for a european tour aswell? I watch that alot more than the PGA

[matty]

I'm in if you get it together. I see more of that on FOX anyway.

[matty]

6 out my 8 have either NE or MC. The blokes I picked are supposed to be good. :smt078

[mike]

MegaWatty, swap Perez with Taylor.

[MegaWatty]

Perez missed the cut. I have already swapped them.
