Oh ok, so only the app that people are already using on their phones is being retired?...and the website stays the same and we can still play it on our laptops?

I hope so. Half the time on the new app, ads will block the player list and I have to enter picks on the website. If that's removed, it will be cutting a lot of players out who don't have phones - I can't see that happening.

Hey guys, just a reminder that the Sentry Tournament of Champions is now available for you to pick your Golfers.
Cheers and good luck.

Had my alarm set for Wednesday night for weeks now. Will need to remember to set it to weekly for the rest of the season.

Going to be a bit difficult picking this up again after the break, no idea on anyone's form coming into this tournament.

Glad to have it back though.

It's an easy one this time, only about 40 players and no cut, and most of the best players from last season.

Bump....get your picks in guys for the Sentry Tournament of Champions, starts on the 6th, no cut and only about 40 golfers to choose from, easy.

Took me a while to find the Fantasy in the new app. It's under Profile if anyone else is struggling to find it.

Looks like we only had 3 enter this tournament. @frosty1 might have forgotten to enter tips? Still plenty of chances to catch up, it's a long season.

For anyone else, we have just started a new scoring segment, so it's a good time to join in. It's very easy to pick up, and there's plenty of articles suggesting players who should do well each week.

Just checking over the scores as I'm a golf fan (not well equipped enough to play fantasy though).

Australia with only the 1 representative this year after defending champ Cam's defection to LIV. That part is a bit of a shame as Australia has had an affinity with this tournament with 8 wins since 1992

Stuart Appleby (2004-06)
Geoff Ogilvy (2009-10)
Steve Elkington (1992 & 95)
Cam Smith (2022)

Billy Horschel had a shocker to finish at +3, the field low outside him is -2.

-9 from Morikawa, Rahm and Spaun show there's going to be another low number final posted unless weather is predicted to play a part.

Schauffele withdrew during the 2nd round with a back injury...6 points

Yep, and I am the only one with him playing unfortunately. Waiting for this round to finish to decide who to replace him with, I was hoping not to have to make any trades this tournament.

Bad luck there I.H, he was actually showing signs his back wasn't right during round 1 but I didn't watch until this morning when I was flicking through it and fast forwarding, otherwise I would've let you know.

No worries, appreciate it, but I should have done my own research.

Happy New (golf) Year all.

Thanks for all the reminders. I knew I was stuffed. Headed away camping and had stuff all internet access (and tbh was trying to stay away from the phone as well). Checked in the 30th and couldn't put the team in, then forgot to check before heading off (packing was doing my head in). Oh well, I guess it happens. Will do my best to make up the points!

Happy New Year Frosty, bummer you missed out on the last one mate, get your picks in for the Sony Open, starts on the 13th

Russty_ · 15 Jan 2023

Shout out to Frosty and Vicwood, get your bench players on before round 3 starts fellas, bit of a nightmare round for all of us this week!

Cut line was minus 2

Ironhawk · 15 Jan 2023

Russty_ said:

No point tagging me, my bench players both missed the cut, plus two of those on field, the two still in are way off the lead. Horrible round.

@frosty1 @Vicwood

Ironhawk said:

Yeah I noticed mate, not much you can do there, Spieth in round 2 that was unexpected! I didn't see his round but must've had a bit of a shocker.

Ironhawk · 15 Jan 2023

Russty_ said:

Can't be helped. First time I have mainly picked the team based on the amount of selections rather than my own choices for a while and it didn't work.

Russty_ said:

Thanks @Russty_ I was a bit slow. Weekend was chaotic and I'd set up a new phone and everything wasn't quite set up properly to remind me.

The 16 point 3rd round was a new low. At least I got the bench players on for Rd 4.

Anyway, team is in for this week!
