122nd overall, not good enough, back at it next year.

Missing Links · 14-08-2017 04:39PM

341st...long way off my heyday (won it in 2001).

DM_7 · 14-08-2017 08:10PM

Why is there a tournament listed for this week? Thought it was over Sunday.

pooman · 15-08-2017 03:10PM

Deadly man - you should enter...

TheFatControlle · 16-08-2017 10:27PM

I presume you're messing as there is no password, no tournament, the game is up until next year.

Yea it always ends after the USPGA but I think they were showing an upcoming tournament by mistake earlier in the week but they got rid of it. I thought you knew and were cracking a funny by asking for a password, hence my reply! Crossed wires, see you at the Masters next season!

Wonder did our friends on the Fantasy Golf site have a role in this?

The website was a bit of a mess alright.

Had a look for it yestreday as it happens but couldn't find anything. Hopefully it will be running again.

bressi · 19-03-2018 05:26PM

Usually starts week before Masters.

qwabercd · 24-03-2018 08:44AM

Any sign of it in today's newspaper? If not I'd say they have done away with it.

pooman · 26-03-2018 04:45PM

Starts tomorrow lads, pic in the IT today of 2 lads launching it

Clauric · 27-03-2018 03:58PM

It's up and running. Is anybody creating a Boards league this year?

qwabercd · 27-03-2018 07:32PM

Seems to be a serious lack of cheaper options in comparison to other years unless I'm missing some?

From what I can see there are only 116 players available - this compares to almost 320 last year.

There are currently 99 players from 8.1 and upwards and 17 below that value. Last year there were 98 from 8.0 and up and the remaining 220 were below that. Maybe not all the players have been uploaded yet? :mad:

pooman · 27-03-2018 09:40PM

One of the lads said it was the same last year? They put Masters only players in this week and add the rest for week 2? I can't remember

Wasn't done that way last year. Nearly all of them were there from the start, they added a handful of obvious ones they originally omitted last year like Kjeldsen. I suspect they will add more, can't even make a half decent team as it stands. Its the same guys that ran the fantasy rugby this year and they added additional players in that after squads got announced.

Anyone have a breakdown of the prizes?

A four ball in Corballis. Great course and as difficult as any if not more so in the wind, but you would think they'd offer better weekly or monthly prizes. I miss the old 1550 number expensive but just better.

What happens if you go with an oldie and he dq's himself is it - 100 points?

You need to be careful too, there are two subs each day.

This will mean either no one will continue after week one or everyone will have the same points. Surely you will just replace with the leaders each day. Not sure I understand the subs it's like Rugby

-50 points for a DQ.

I think they are using the term 'round' for a tournament, Augusta will be round 1 RBC Heritage round 2 etc...

I can see why it's confusing they seem to be going all American with some of the phrasing like lockout, and rollback.

There is a severe lack of players as previously mentioned, hopefully lots more are added soon.

But are the players there not just for this week? I think I have messed up and added Na, I am not sure he's playing....

-50 does it not double for a Major?

I am not sure it is round per week, maybe you are right but I think it was different for the Rugby but maybe not....

Looks like it is being run by Fan Hub Media from the UK.
There seems to be some changes from last year, including:

the inability of participants to remove players from leagues,
the inability to see other players teams, especially in the leagues,
severe lack of players available (as mentioned above),

I have asked them if these features will be added, and new players included, but so far, no response.

Has anybody checked the players in the competition vs the OWGR to see if they are the top players, or a random scattering?

pooman · 28-03-2018 05:11PM

Careful when picking your team. If you pick your team now and realise there's a guy not playing in the Masters (a la Kevin Na) you can't change him. Need to create a new account

pooman · 28-03-2018 05:13PM

Also if I win the 4ball at Elm Green, I'll donate it to the team with the funniest team name from Boards.. shocking place
