European Fantasy Tour - Race to Dubai 2014

Wichita Lineman

Pin 4758 for anyone who wants to enter the 'Boardsie Golfers' fantasy league. I'm sure we can organise some prizes.

There's a free fourball for Moate GC in the pot for starters. In fact I'll give one to whoever is leading after week 1 (to encourage early entries) and to the overall winner late 2014 as well. Cant be fairer than that

First event is Jan 9th so don't leave it too late to enter.

Not a bad start, I managed to pick 9 players out of 10 that are actually competing this weekend

And I gave my star player to Charl........

Wichita Lineman

I 'starred' Peter Uihlein and he recovered well after an awful start.

This could be fun. More than fantasy football hopefully!
Left out Louis for Bjorn, what a move
Do have Jacqueline as star player though!

Great shout, I was absolutely disgusted that I left out Jacqueline... For Jaidee, who isn't even playing...
Wouldn't mind but I've a man crush on Jacqueline (it's his swing honest)

Yeah I've being following him for years now.
Had him backed when Brett Rumdord pipped him to the Irish Open years ago and again last year in Carton House when he gave it a good run again.

He has given me a few good runs too! Pity he has never kicked on to the next level, just goes to show it aint all about a perfect swing.

Uihlein has flopped spectacularly today. Balls.

Looks like you're out of the running for that free 4 ball

With only 36 players I presume there will be no halfway cut

Picked 10 players that are competing and have tommy fleetwood as star man. . Been admirer of him for a while and thought he was overpriced at 50/1 this week. . Fingers crossed he keeps it up over weekend

I decided to put it slightly nicer for myself :pac:

@baboo800 definitely the best team name there Walt

Seems like there is an issue with the website as Graziella Cipriani's team had Luke Donald as the star player.....

the controversy is starting early this year....

Will hold off on confirming anyone as fourball winner so until this is clarified.

Also I've had 2 entry requests after the tournament finished. I will accept them into the league later on but they will not be eligible for that initial prize ok.

Wichita Lineman

Just had a quick look at Graziellas team and I actually dont think there is an issue. Donald is the current star player but the following were transferred out already, I presume with this weeks tournament in mind -

J Quesne France
MA Jimenez Spain
C Schwartzel South Africa
R Sterne South Africa
V Dubuisson France
L Oosthuizen South Africa

I'd imagine he's just already changed his team for the week to come....

Wichita Lineman

So if Graziella Cipriani can PM me with an address I'll organise the fourball voucher from Moate Golf Club. **Terms and conditions apply.





**No PM, no voucher.

Don't forget your picks Lads!

Picking 10 each week is overkill, 5 would have been fine with me.

Wichita Lineman

It's always been 10 I think. I like the double score for Captain / star player though. Let battle commence!

Na, I think last year was the first year you picked 10, before that it was 5 changes per week, which TBH was stupid, because you had a team of 15 back then and with only 5 picks per week, you could easily end up with a team which only has 5 lads playing.

Little tip guys, click on the button that says next tournament, and it will highlight all the guys in green who are playing this week

Oh, and I don't like the double points for star player, I'm finding it hard enough to pick the weekly winner!!!

Wichita Lineman

At least it's better than the one I tried a few times in 'The Scotsman' they had 10 pre determined groups and you could only pick 1 from each pot and had just 2 transfers per week (maybe 3, it makes little difference) but often you would find you had 2 or 3 players playing in any given tournament.

Cheers Stevie, that's a big help!

Captain Bjorn doing the business, he had a great tournament last week given that he had a disaster of a first round there.

I have to go a long way down the leaderboard to find the rest of my team
