Fantasy Golf

To give you background. I've been playing Y! Fantasy Golf for about three years . My percentile ranking last year was 99%, 2009 - 97%, 2008-96%. Every week I put together an spreadsheet to analyze what golfers I think will do the best at a given tournament, and then make selections for Y! Fantasy Golf. Whats in the spreadsheet is below:

• Average finish based on past 3 tournaments at the same course (do they play well at the course?)
• Past year result at the same course
• Average finish over 4 weeks and 8 weeks from data of tournament (are they playing well up to the tournament?)
• World Golf Ranking
• Avg rank of skills that are needed at a specific course (read blogs from writers on skills needed for the course (e.g. GIR or Sand Saves Rk) 
• Average Y! fantasy points over Past 4 and 8 weeks
• GolfObserver.com Performance Chart

So thats the background, and each Wednesday by 7PM CT I'll post my top 2 for the Y! A/C group and 4 for B.


Best Practices/Advice:

• Unless a your starter gets DQ'd, withdraws or is drastically (5 or more shots) worse than a bench player don't swap after one round. More often than not, the your starter will do as well as or better than bench player the next round. If the starter performs worse than bench player for two consecutive rounds then swap.
