Jordan Spieth started off 2016 with runaway in at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. If this is any indication of things to come, Spieth is going to be just as dominant in 2016 as he was in 2015.
Here are some highlights from the final round.
As of a couple of weeks ago, Yahoo Fantasy Golf was not going to be offered for the 2016 season. For some unknown reason I checked it again today and found that Yahoo had reconsidered and their fantasy golf game was active once again.
Feel free to join my 2016 Golf Pool though Yahoo Fantasy Sports. Sign up at the Yahoo Fantasy Golf front page and join the group with the ID and password.

The first tournament for the Yahoo Fantasy Golf season is the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, January 7, 2016, and the pool runs through the Tour Championship.
Thanks.

I think I like Sally’s version better than the original.

I found the Chip-ing when Alex Raimondi (@ChipingGolfball) followed me on twitter and I checked out what he was all about. His tagline on twitter is “neverlost the new retrievable #golfball. Just use your smartphone! Play faster – Score better – Save balls. Golf will be more fun!”
It looks like Alex has invented a golf ball that you can track/locate with your smart phone. You can see Alex’s videos of his invention on Vimeo.
There is also an indiegogo page for supporting this new invention, although these golf balls are a little pricey at $350 a dozen. But then again, it is Christmas and what else can you get the golfer who has everything.

As 2015 is winding down I was thinking I should get a head start on setting up my Yahoo Fantasy Golf Pool for 2016. I went to the home page for Yahoo Fantasy Golf and found the following:
This is very disappointing, as I thought Yahoo did a great job with their Fantasy Golf.
I guess I will have to find another golf fantasy pool to play in for 2016. Please comment if you have any suggestions.
UPDATE – Yahoo has changed their minds and is going to offer fantasy golf for 2016.
