Been trawling through the twitter accounts of a few golfers and came across a tweet by top English golfer Melissa Reid about a fantasy golf competition based on the Ladies tour.

http://www.letfantasygolf.com/play

It seems you can win lots of money, but to do that you need to pick the top 6 in a single event.

There's also reference though to a special competition in September with prizes supplied by the sponsors, but I can't see what they are.

Might give it a go.

Guess it will be oddschecker for this comp as knowledge of the LET is not quite as good as the men's tours :)

Aren't they starting a new worldwide ranking system sometime soon?

Somehow I seem to have picked the best performing team of the week :D

Shame there seems to be no prize for that :(

Toffeelover and FISO also in the top 20 :)

Are you sure about the lack of a weekly prize?

T&Cs:
TOURNAMENT PRIZE: This will be won by the player whose team scores the fewest points each week, as dictated by that team's finishing position in the tournament

http://www.letfantasygolf.com/content/prizes
For each tournament, in addition to the great cash prize on offer, entrants will have a fantastic chance to win some great golfing prizes, courtesy of our partners. The prizes below will be on offer throughout the season:

The first live week of the letfantasygolf.com game saw David Blake's team "Bogeys" claim the spoils with all 6 of his selected players finishing in the top 15. David wins a Taylor Made R11 Stand Bag, Hirzl Golf Glove and PowerBalance Pendant. In second place was Paul MacMichael's team "Taffy Slogan", winning a Fantasy Golf Sports Bag and a Dozen Callaway Diablo Tour Golf Balls and in third was Lauren Ries's team "BluRies", who won a Fantasy Golf Laptop Bag and SoftSpikes Gift Pack.

From today you can enter your team for the most prestigious tournament on the Ladies European Tour, the Ricoh Women's British Open, being played for the first time at Carnoustie, 28 – 31 July. Correctly select the top six players at the end of the tournament for your chance to win €25,000. For one of the year's majors the field is as strong as it can be and entrants will need a keen eye on worldwide form to pick this week's winners.

Ai Miyazato jumped straight to the top of the Henderson Money List, compliments of her victory in the Evian Masters and is now followed by Europeans Diana Luna, Caroline Hedwall, Melissa Reid and Christel Boeljon. Time to get studying the form and pick your Fantasy team for this week.

You have until midnight on Wednesday 27 July to enter your team, so go to www.letfantasygolf.com now to register.

Have set up a Private League called 'FISO Forum'. Not clear how anyone then goes about adding their team to it.

Wow! What a great surprise, could not find any reference to such a prize on the web site.

Whilst I would love to claim that my expert knowledge of the Ladies Tour enabled the win, I have to give thanks to the article in the Racing Post last Wednesday for guiding me along the way.

Nice comp - nice set up too with the 2 reserves.

That's quite a nice prize re September too!

Team in - cannot for the life of me work out how to get in the superleague - perhaps the only chance to enter is to respond to the email that the setter up can send out when setting up.

I have used the word set a lot in this post.

Joined but haven't a clue if my team will be any good (not that this is any different from any of my other Fantasy Golf teams!!)

Joined late last week and they've given me 666 points and I'm 232nd place suggesting that there weren't too many people who'd entered it last week.

If anybody finds out how to join the FISO private league could they please post it as I can't figure out how to do it.

2 weeks in and 2 wins by fiso members.

The Ricoh Women’s British Open was won this weekend by World No.1, Yani Tseng. In doing so Tseng, 22, became the youngest player in history, male or female, to win five major championships.

Tseng trailed by two shots going into the final round but put together a three under par round of 69 to end 16 under, ahead of American Brittany Lang.

The top six finishers were:
1. Yani Tseng (TPE)
2. Brittany Lang (USA)
3. Sophie Gustafson (SWE)
4. Amy Yang (KOR)
5= Catriona Matthew (SCO)
5= Caroline Masson (GER)

Congratulations to Simon Holman's team 'Pappjerazzi' who topped the LET Fantasy Golf leader board this week, amassing just 72 points. Simon selected 3 of the top six finishers, and wins a Taylor Made R11 Stand Bag, Hirzl Golf Glove and PowerBalance Pendant.

The next tournament on the Ladies European Tour is the Ladies Irish Open, 5 – 7 August, and you have until 23:59 on 4 August to enter your next Fantasy Golf team to be in with a chance of correctly identifying the top six finishers and winning the tournament jackpot of €25,000. Also up for grabs is the weekly prize for the lowest scoring team, which is a top of the range golf bag and other great accessories.

Bit of a pleasant surprise that - I missed the first week as I was on holiday and entered late last week. Maybe I should adopt the hit and hope tactic for OFL as well :lol:

For a double surprise, I was on Gustafson at 66/1 e/w as well.

Will try & join the FISO League when I get proper web access from tomorrow.

Prizes arrived yesterday in rapid response to my reply. If I ever get to a FISO Golf Day I'll be sure to wear my pendant - then you'll all have to bow down before my power. :lol:

PS Dad Dancer - each week is unique, so all those past scores with 666pts or similar are a way of showing you weren't entered that week.

Time to re-focus on this one guys :)

Especially as there is a September long aggregate prize:

        :arrow: Return Flights to Dubai for two people with Emirates Airlines (economy class flights from the nearest Emirates hub included)

        :arrow: 4 nights' accommodation at the fantastic Jumeirah Creekside Hotel (B&B and one hotel dinner included)

        :arrow: VIP Welcome Reception passes for Omega Dubai Ladies Masters

        :arrow: VIP hospitality passes for Omega Dubai Ladies Masters

        :arrow: Round of golf for two people at Dubai Creek Golf Club (or similar - dependent on availability)

        :arrow: Travel expenses of £500

Now that's a prize, Henderson Global Investors obviously serious about their sponsorship of the LET :shock:


Next tournament starts on Friday
