    Thumbs down Fantasy Golf Picks

    Well my wife is back at it again with her picking. I thought after finishing 2nd overall last year she might be happy. She's got Phil, Kenny Perry, Haas & Triplett (all in the top 6). I guess I should be happy I was ahead for the 1st two weeks :shake

    Do any of you guys get beat regularily by your mates?

    Fantasy Nightmare

    At least you were alert enough to get your picks in on time. I forgot about the 90 hole event and tried to get my picks in at 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning. No such luck. None of my boys from the previous week are playing this week! My wife is in the same situation, except two of her players from last week (Perry and Sluman) and playing well. The irony would be if her two non-picks, Perry and Sluman, finished one and two. Heck, under the circumstances she might finish in the top 10 for the week. That would be amusing.

    Fortunately only at Scrabble and cards, she doesn't get into anything golf except maybe mini-golf.
    Looks like all my guys will make the cut.
    My top guys being Phil, Perry, and Jesper.

    looks like some kind of glitch in the pool right now?

    The "Winner" got credit for twice his score again

    I think my wife ONLY went from 59th to 8th, depending on the above adjustments.

    Yes it seems that the bug is persistant. Again it will be fixed ASAP (by noon hopefully)

    I managed to screw up my picks big time. I plumeted from 12th to 77th. :blush
    I am now 2 mill behind the leader

    Horray, the new guy won a week. I'm the Worm Burners manager so to speak. I'm curious as to how the guest passes won for the weekly prizes work out? I'm in a corporate club at work so I've never joined this one. I assume it's not a fee pass right? I would go on a guest pass and pay the green fee listed (for your club) at the course? Are there any guest restrictions though? ie.... in our club members can book golf the day before but guests can only go on the same day to give the members the first chance.

    For these prizes we issue memberships (cards are mailed) valid for 2 rounds at no charge as members of our club. 3 days advance booking. You can purchase more rounds or join as a full member when they are used up.

    In the case of Worm Burners however, he did not fill in his address when he registered. Threfore he is declared the winner, but cannot be awarded the prize.

    FGL Rules
    Prizes will be sent to the address the winner registered with. Players who register without providing complete contact information (full name address phone etc) will be declared the winner, but are not eligible for prizes. We will not accept submission of contact information after the fact. This policy is to prevent a player form registering multiple times with incomplete info to avoid detection.
    I'd recommend to anyone who has joined the FGL that they go to thier profile and check that the information is complete. If Worrm Burners does so now, he will be eligible for the next prize he wins.

    Ahhhhh, I forgot to include an address .... oh well, stuff happens as they say. I have a tendency not to read the entire rule set for these things. It's kinda like reading the entire software licence agreement when you install things ... I take it I can re-edit my profile for my next victory then?

    Question Another bug?

    Dan, I'm not sure if this is related to some of the problems you've been having, but I have noticed something a little strange when I go to make my picks. After I log in, it shows my picks for last week (in this case, week 3) - only they were actually my picks for the first week. After three weeks, this list has not changed even though my picks have.

    When I go to change my picks, everything is fine. Everything seems to be recorded properly - it is just that initial display that isn't right. Has anyone else noticed this?

    I figured out how to re-edit it Dan ... hopefully I've completed it. If I'm missing something by all means kick me in the hind end again and I'll have another look.

    It is OK now. Very sorry about the policy, but I had one guy in the past playing no less than 10 teams. :reallymad


    El Tigre I have forwarded this to the programmer.

    Question I suck, but can I still play??

    Hey Dan, obviously I missed the boat on the first two-three weeks, but is this still open? Trust me when I say that my inclusion into the contest will not alter the winner's chances at all, since I am the WORST fantasy golf picker ever....

    If it's open, great, if not, great and good luck to you all...

    Anyone can join in at any time. You always have a shot at the weekly prize, and I could see someone get to top 5 joining now. Another few missed weeks and top 5 would be tough

    Help!

    What is happening to Fantasy Golf Picks? I just now tried to enter my picks for tomorrow's tournament (it is now 5:45 p.m. Wednesday) and was told that the only picks I could make were for the tournament at Pebble Beach. The stated deadline is 10. Last year that meant 10 p.m. Has that been changed to 10 a.m.? Having missed the deadline last week, I was not about to do the same again. Does this mean that I have been done in yet once again?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Fred Couples was next. He stumbled through his final 9 yesterday. Since he is not known to dog it, I fear that maybe his back is acting up. If so, a number of us could be losing a good player.

    Thumbs up Hooray, I finally won something!!

    After two years of entering the rules contest and in my second year of Fantasy Golf picks, I finally won something (thanks to my wild card pick of Zach Johnson at the Bell South). Nothing I like better than free golf!
