I just wanted to extend a friendly invite for everyone to sign-up for the Pro Tour Fantasy Golf contest starting on August 26th:

http://www.fedexcup1.protourfantasygolf.com/

The entry fee is $25 USD. The contest will consist of the 4 FedEx Cup tournaments. A handful of other FISO members have been playing in other PTFG contests this year (Man United's #1 Fan, toffeelover, Trotter, el_pappje, Peoples, etc.) Several have done quite well including Man United's #1 Fan who has netted over $1,000 USD across several different contests. I think the FISO knowledge of the European golfers has helped several competitors and I'm sure the FedEx Cup will be no different.

PTFG is very easy to play and makes watching golf tournaments a lot of fun. I'm currently hoping to get 50-60 participants and have set the prizes accordingly (since this is the first year for this contest). However, if we get more participants, I will increase the prize pool proportionally. If you sign-up for 2 teams, you'll automatically be entered in the Best Ball competition. See the league home page for more information about the "bonus" Best Ball contest (link above).

In addition to cash prizes for overall top performers, the participant with the high weekly tournament score will win $100.

The FedEx Cup Contest would be a great introduction to Pro Tour Fantasy Golf for those of you that have not played before.

With a limited entry you have a far better chance of winning than regular fantasy golf games, I have already won $1,450 of prize money to date this season :D

Would be nice to get a few more Fiso'ers joining in, currently it's Horton and myself vs. Team USA :!:

Horton has submitted his starting line-up for The Barclays, now that is keen :P

Cheers

I can see how that might be perceived as being a bit OCD, likely to change my mind a few times prior to the start.

This is a curious one as with 2 mulligans and 4 tournaments you could get away with only having to pick 10 players in total. However for those unfamiliar with John's tournaments its a good starting point as you can familiarise yourself with the mechanics of his excellent set up (and his first rate customer service, a real strength).......there's a Fall Finish tournament following straight on which I'll definitely be entering.

Horton

lister & arjdette04 - We'd love to have you sign up. We currently have 44 teams signed up. So like Man United's #1 Fan said, the odds of winning are much better than other contests where you have to beat thousands of others. Our format is much more like a real professional golf tournament where you only have to be 100 or so other teams.

Quick Update - There are now 76 teams signed up for the FedEx Cup contest. After 65 teams, all entry fees collected are going towards the pot. So that's already an additional $275 in prize money that will be given away. Again, if you never played PTFG before, this is a quick and easy way to experience a very fun fantasy golf game. You need to sign-up by 11 AM Thursday GMT.

Hi t.Gridley,

You pay online via PayPal using either your PayPal Account or a credit card. It's safe, secure and easy. It takes about 2 minutes to sign-up. Your team will be automatically created afterwards at which point you will also get a Welcome email with your login password.

Thanks for your interest!

P.S. Here is a direct link to the signup page:

I see arjdette04's post has disappeared.

I thought he sounded a bit like a spammer! :)

Hopefully not :P

League 4 is virtually done and dusted, so would be nice to do well again in the playoffs.

Good luck to all the Fiso'ers :)
