Week 19 was problematic for most of us:
  • Image
Well played Sacs in amassing 174 points :shock: thanks mainly to Jason Day and Danny Lee picks.

Week 22:
  • Image
Storming week for a few, not so good for the rest of us :(

US Open is the final week of the Spring segment, so GM is holding on to the £10 for the best weekly score at 232 and Trickster1 holds a 39 point lead in the battle for the segment £10.

Reckon your tenner is safe GM!

Carnage in Group A with most of us having two MCs.

Week 23:
  • Image
And I thought last week was bad!

Most of us ended up with this week being our mulligan for the segment :roll: which means GM held on to win the highest weekly score for the Spring segment 8-)

Trickster1 was not so fortunate, as johngooch sneaked through in the final week to snatch the segment £10 8-)

In other news, nevblake is back in the top 30 overall, thanks to an impressive 132 pts this week.

Week 24:

Nevblake wins another week and moves to his highest position world wide.

Just wish I'd made a note of it before this week started :x

I'd hazard a guess at around 14th, but did anyone notice? :oops:

Week 25:
  • Image
Good to see so many of us using up that mulligan so early in the final segment :lol:

For info, I've also added the totals if no mulligans were given. Some interesting differences at the moment, though I guess these will narrow as the segment progresses :?

Can't believe I'm 3 weeks out of date :oops:

Our leader is beginning to falter :shock:

Out of the top 50 after a poor Open, time for a Spieth-like revival no doubt!

Really didn't think Stenson would be up for it this week :(

  • Image
Nevblake's lead has dropped to just 1 point :shock: , well played John Gooch 8-)

Both are lurking just outside the top 50 worldwide, it's gonna be a close finish....

Alas it seems 3 of you left your USPGA teams unchanged for the Wyndham, and none of them played.

Foxy gave up a while back!

Week 33 is in the books:


Image

Things are really hotting up at the top, with nevblake and johngooch sitting at 32nd and 33rd in the world :shock: 8-)

And Longdriver continues to set the Summer segment on fire, maintaining his lead and setting the highest score of the segment with 237

And there's 5 teams scrapping for the £10 for 3rd place overall too!

Two weeks to go:

  • Image
Well, nevblake finally gets dislodged at the top by johngooch, who climbs to 26th in the world in the process 8-)

And last year's winner Longdrivers has had another storming week, jumping up to 3rd place in the FISO league, and 6th worldwide in the Summer segment 8-)

The highest segment score also went this week, thanks to an impressive 242 from topspur 8-)

It's all going on, what a finish to the season for our mini-league!

Well its almost impossible to reach the top 3 ... sitting Top 6 at the moment .. one more round to go hmmm can I reach Toffeelover. Enjoyed the competition all year. Next Year I'm going to try and be more active on the board ...but when you run several fantasy games it takes everything to just make your weekly picks .... Anyway ..."Cheer ho" .... from your Canadian member and congrats to the top 3.

Hi Saccers ...

if you are not already familiar with this string, its worth looking at.
I've had to move away from playing most of these, but enjoyed them for a number of years.
There was always between 8-20 playing most of the games, if memory serves me ...

Race to Dubai & Yahoo are the two best supported.
ProTour Fantasy Golf is high on graphics and has an app that runs well on mobiles. (you refer to it as "PGAtour Avis" below)
Bunkered has a unique team picking system & is low on graphics.
Today, NCG, Golf Monthly, Irish Times are all run from a similar hosting site but one of them has slightly different picking rules (cannot remember which)
I know nothing about GolfPunk or DraftKings.

Enjoy!!

Week 35:

  • Image
And so we come to the final week.

It looks like johngooch has done enough, sitting in 27th place world-wide, and holding a 38 point advantage over nevblake in second.

Longdriver continues to have an awesome summer segment, currently 4th in the world 8-) . His excellent run in has cemented 3rd place in the FISO league, but as he is not in the £5 league, the fight for the tenner for 3rd place is really hotting up, with loads of you queuing up to nudge me out in the final week :(

Topspur has one hand on the segment tenner, with a great score of 242. But with no cut this week, who knows........?
