How does the game work?
Just pick the golfers you think will finish 1st through 10th for each of the tournaments.

How do Private Groups work?
Private Groups are a way for you to play along with a group of co-workers, friends, family, etc. Once you are logged in, in the upper left is a link to "My Private Groups". If you click on that you can see that you can join up to three private groups and create/manage one as well.

How do I join a Private Group?
Someone must first invite you to join their Private Group. If they do you'll receive an email with the instructions on how to join.

How do I create a Private Group?
Once you are logged in, in the upper left click on the "My Private Groups" link. Toward the bottom click on a link that says "Create a Private Group". You'll be asked to enter a group name, a password, and to confirm your password. The next page allows you to enter the email addresses for friends, co-workers, family, etc. that you'd like to play along with you. An email will be sent out with instructions on how to join your group.

How do I manage a Private Group?
