Its associated with the golf channel... Apparently I have a login already but cant sign in to create a Poly league, but its a budget league with yahoo style scoring. Its rated 4 of 5 stars second behind draftkings.

Check it out, create a league

6 players, no bench, no usage limits per player.
"Yahoo style scoring"? Not really.





Just getting the TLDR version up for consideration.

It looks better than the current game. At least here, you are getting points for birdies instead of hitting the fairway

So it's a Modified Stableford Scoring

it aint a deal breaker and yahoo was a bit boring but I dont see why two players who score -4 should get anything other than the same points. It doesn't matter to me if one of them had more birdies or eagles.

eagle-dbogey = 7 pts while 2 pars 1 pt and birdie-bogey is 2 1/2 pts

oh well, we can give it a try... if someone starts a league I would but I tried, I'm not even sure I can join after my last attempt

yahoo has started a golf game but I dont know if its the same one

Yahoo's new game is in their Daily Fantasy Sports machine and, while much better than PGA Tour Fantasy, it's not the same as their old game. Look for PGA Yahoo Cup.

I entered last night. Looks like the US Open is the first of a 25-week season.

US Open trivia

https://www.pga.com/news/pga/john-shippen-jr-first-african-american-golf-professional

John Matthew Shippen Jr - first American born golf pro was a black man... He finished tied for 6th in the US Open at Shinnecock Hills NY and won $10

His buddy Oscar Bunn was an Indian, probably from the Shinnecock tribe, also competed in the 1896 US Open at Shinnecock Hills.

Many European pros refused to play if they were allowed into the tournament

Theodore Havemeyer, the President of the United States Golf Association (USGA), declared that the U.S. Open would be played, even if Shippen and Bunn were the only entrants.

Yahoo Cup is semi-Stableford. No bench; just pick six guys, salary cap $200. Top 10 finishers get a bonus.
Gotta make cuts, as all 6 players count and can't be replaced. (I've only got 3 guys this weekend...)

It's 21 weeks, just started, and they drop your worst 6 weeks in the season-long standings. So join up!
(Didn't see any way to form a league within Yahoo Cup, unfortunately...)
