I'm looking for how the standings are calculated,  -  it looks like $ Won is how the positions are set  -   how does score to PAR fit in?

It is all about dollar winnings. 

Par should all fall in line by the end of the week. With it being two different courses that is why par is a little wonky to start.

Great start for fixyurdivot division.  Anyone else match/beat @EasyPutter -32 to par?  What's interesting is that @Thomasnoble79let the system auto pick his card... and he nearly caught him.  Too bad we cannot merge the divisions in the app and see how they compare.

Enjoying it while it lasts!  Anyone who played the pickem tournament in 2022 must remember my solid lock on last place out of, what was it, 55 MGSpies?  And the next last wasn't even close 

Actually using a similar strategy for picking last year... I'm as stunned as everyone   we still have a long way to go

After week 1: GolfSpy APH division 

Not bad! Thanks for the guys to get your picks in and let's get next week rolling!

Don't forget to check out the PGA Tour thread which will be dropping in the next couple days!

[Splatt]

There are some seriously good scores straight up. It's going to be a very competitive year.

My goal for next round is to have 5 golfers who make the cut 

Here's the Splatt division after that first round.

[GolfSpy_APH]

Get your picks in and be sure to check out the thread above! @Splatt has once again knocked it out of the park with the recap leading in. Will it get as rowdy as it did last year or are we in for a more normal type year? Be sure to check it out and after picks lock don't be afraid to share and brag about why your lineup will be the best!

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

This is such a tough pick this week. Such a big field!

I hear this and picking all the top ones probably won't work, some of them are bound to have a poor week

Yea thats the tough part, you know there are going to be so many outside the top 20 that get there and plenty top 20 that miss the cut. But we only get to pick 10x tough not to pick the big names on the tournaments you know they are playing especially the big dollars

I went all bigger names. But bigger names i wouldn't use at any of the majors.

I thought we only get 5x picks per player

5 players, but are limited to a total of 10 times for the season. Meaning you can't just pick Rory every time he plays. Likely around half the time he plays.

[Berg Ryman]

These new bigger tournaments will be an interesting time, especially in a place like Phoenix where there are guys who traditionally play well there further down the board, but compared to the form of the top guys, do you want to miss out?

[GolfSpy BOS]

Standings for the BOS division!

Somehow I managed to stay out of last place... let's see how long that lasts!

I mostly did two with an outlier but is probably considered a big name anyway

Spoiler alert, yes it will be rowdy 
Thousand of people sat in the sun for hours drinking beer generally doesn't lend itself to a chilled afternoon, haha.

I have my cups of beer lined up ready to throw onto the floor in my living room when the first hole-in-one goes in.  I told my wife it may be best to take the kids to her parents' for a few days.
