I have played fantasy golf for many years but this weeks British open killed me totally and utterly!

Chances gone in pretty much every game in a single week. These are all my scores:

Bunkered 40
NCG 3750
Scotsman 208
Yorkshire Post -12
European Tour 305,974
Todays Golfer 4

If anyone else has had a just as bad or worse week feel free to post here!

I guess there's always next season!

To make people feel better, there were eight entrants in Fantasy League Golf and 32 in Today's Golfer who scored -12 points in The Open (equating to six missed cuts).

Your scores in brackets

Bunkered - 38 (40)
NCG - 2700 (3750)
Scotsman - 755 (208)
Yorkshire Post - Worst team scored 50 (-12)
European Tour 356,131 (305,974)
Todays Golfer -4 (4)

Also
Irish Times - Worst team 1,018
OFL - 33

The only high point was that I won the weekly FISO score in the Kerplookee game as I transfered in Clarke and everyone else went for Dustin after round 3.

Not to forget that you cleaned house in the bingo game!

I guess it was just a tough week, stupid thing was I'd even talked to a few people about how I fancied Dazza to have a good week, didn't put him in any of my teams though.

:cry:

Didn't want to mention that but if you have a look at the new Comp I have put together you will find that the 1 line and 2 line prizes from the BINGO have been re-used for this one along with a "Special" prize that Pads has put up.

I know, I was looking at that, very interesting. Basically the aim is to pick players to scrape through the cut and then collapse at the weekend. Good Stuff!

Spot on with the tactics.

Also, you need to think about the FIXED golfers as they could score you zero if you dont get it right

That shouldn't be too much of a worry as most will of the top players who are in week 1 will be in 2 and 3.

Also, is that WGC the one with no cut?

Yup,

Bridgestone has no cut but last year there was 1 withdrawl before the start (Allenby) and 1 withdrawn after 2 rounds (Westwood) therefore they would have zero and 147 "points" respectively if the same thing happened this year.

Having a no-cut event just makes it more interesting tactically as you can "Gamble" a little more knowing that all the players will post 4 round scores, assuming no retirements / withdrawls.

The comp is designed for a big finish at the PGA and your "FIXED" selections should be weighted towards this and the Bridgestone events in my opinion but lets see how everyone else plays it

Gonna pick my team today or tomorrow but I'm going with the theory that if I can get 120 rounds played I'll have a bloody good chance!
