jj9000 , I have never played fantasy golf but I would love to. What is a reasonable buy-in $50.00 , $100.00 , lower/higher?

I'm game for whatever as long as the dollars aren'r crazy.

The last few years it's been a $20 Buy-In.

Several people have mentioned upping the Buy-In to ensure people don't write off the season and stop participating after a few bad weeks.

Also, its a really simple format to play, and it makes the mundane Tourneys much more interesting.

I'd play for sure. Think $50 sounds like a good number but defer to those that have played before.

I will play again and this time I will buy in. Last year I didn't buy in because there were not enough people that bought in. Anywhere from 25 to 50 bucks sounds good to me.

Format is very easy and straight forward.

Here are the basic rules, scoring, etc:

For those that dont want to click the link, here is a summary from what I remember from last year:
  • you set you line up each week with 8 players. 4 starters and 4 subs.
  • The players you have starting score points for your team.
  • You can start a player up to 10 tournaments per year, season goes through the fedex cup. Once you play a player one round in a tournament that counts as a start for that player
  • the lowest round of the day in the tournament gets 20 points, each shot off the leading score for the day gets 2 less points. Ex. best score is -8 for the day. your players shoot -8, -6, E and +4. you would get 20, 16, 4 and 0 points respectively.
  • Your points add up through the year, so there are no head to head matches

I will play again. Anything between 20 and 50 seems reasonable.

You should. It's a good way to get invested in Tournaments you wouldn't otherwise care about.

Last season the winner was decided on the Final Round of the Fed Ex cup. It was very close all season.

Antman won by picking Horschel while I took 2nd by picking Rory.

Signed in, will get the money part resolved this week. So a quick look, we pick a lineup each week of different tiers. Can you then select within the tournament to bench a starter and bring in a sub if they guy doesn't make a cut? As long as you are within the "nothing over 10 starts" level?

I guess this is what you mean by keeping an interest in the tournament for some of these guys way back in the field you just mail it in Sat/Sun and you bring in someone off your bench?
antman8504

Yep, if a guy that you start does not make the cut, you can replace him mid tournament with one of your subs. You can change your lineup day to day with any of your eight players that you selected for that tournament. Scoring for your fantasy team is day to day so you want your best lineup each day

TFS...Antman is on the ball and the scenario he suggested is correct.

I would expect him to be correct being he's the current Champion (not for long, bud).

@$!!# Horschel!!

Signed up as "Dufnering Miss Daisy"

Tried to send funds via PayPal, but said it could not process at this time. Also, I could not find a "notes" section to put in my username. Anyone have this problem? I never use Paypal, maybe it's cause I only have my credit card in there and not my bank account?

I will try to figure this out in the morning!

Take a look at the card PayPal has on file and ensure it is the same card you normally use.

I've had to update PayPal with a valid card once an old card expired.
