Rules

You select twelve golfers playing in the USPGA Championship starting August 10th. Your choice of players will be restricted by the following criteria. From the Official World Rankings website  http://www.owgr.com/ranking

Of your team of 12, at least 3 of your players must be ranked outside the Top 50. Of the allowed 9 players ranked inside the Top 50, no more than 6 can be from the Top 20, with a maximum of 3 from the Top 5.


Scoring System

You will score points for your best 5 performers over the course of the tournament. Your best 5 players' final shot totals will be added together, with the team having the lowest total number of shots being declared the winner.

For the sake of clarity: players who do not finish the tournament (either by missing the cut or pulling out of the tournament) will be adjudged to have taken 400 shots for the 4 rounds.

If any of your players takes no part in the tournament, he will be replaced by the best ranked player available.


Good luck one and all

DD wins the title with andy taking the wooden spoon

Thanks everyone for playing

Golf FL will return next April for the Masters

well done DD, cheers Ian

another wooden spoon this year im either winning or coming last wtf lol

I take comfort from the fact that every one of my players made the cut, even if only one of them threatened the top of the leaderboard

thanks ian

congrats to DD

Thanks ian. That was a bit of an odd tournament with only Fowler of the usual contenders doing well.

Well done DD and excellent job Ian as usual.
