The 2012 “HOG Space” fantasy golf season begins at the PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open on February 2. The season will conclude at the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
ABOUT HOG SPACE
HOG SPACE is a FREE fantasy golf league for anyone to join, brought to you by my two main golf sites, Hooked On Golf Blog and The Golf Space. If you haven’t yet, please sign up at The Golf Space and set up your golf profile. TGS is approaching 6,000 members!
BIG GOLF PRIZES
Those who have played HOG Space fantasy golf in the past have won prizes from big golf companies like Nike Golf, Bridgestone Golf, FootJoy, OGIO, Nicklaus Golf, Bobby Jones, Frogger Golf, Rife Putters, Dornoch Putters, Tattoo Golf, Sumi-G and many more. Last year’s winner won a Nike VR-Pro driver, while 2nd place and 3rd place won killer golf shoes and golf outerwear from FootJoy. We also gave away 12 dozen boxes of Bridgestone Golf balls in 2011.
Prizes for 2012 will be announced in February, after I get back from the PGA Merchandise Show. You can be sure there will be many big prizes to win.
Over the years we’ve awarded weekly prizes. These are a pain to ship and only about 40-50% of the winners claim them. I have yet to make a decision as to whether weekly prizes will be awarded in 2012.
Speaking of prizes, those who failed to claim prizes last year it is now too late to claim them. Unclaimed prizes will be used for other contests or donated to my local junior golf.

NEW MAJORS ONLY FANTASY LEAGUE
In addition to the regular year long fantasy league hosted by Kerplookee, HOG Space will be testing out a new “majors only” fantasy competition. This league will be hosted on Buzz Fantasy Golf’s site.
Each of the four majors (The Masters, US OPEN, British Open, PGA Championship) will be an individual competition with special prizes. We may try to combine those four majors to produce a “major winner” of another prize. Stay tuned.
More details and signup information will be posted when the league is set up.
SPONSORS NEEDED
If you wish to sponsor 2012 HOG Space fantasy golf, the benefits are great. You will receive a ton of love from the patrons of HOG and TGS, as well as millions of hits throughout the 2012 season from banner and link placements on both host web sites. Contact me to inquire about becoming a sponsor.
FANTASY GOLF DISCUSSION FORUM
Talk all about fantasy golf in The Golf Space Fantasy Golf Discussion Thread.
The inquiries are flowing in about 2012 fantasy golf. Here’s the latest.
WHEN
HOG SPACE FANTASY GOLF BEGINS THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY.
WHERE? OPINIONS NEEDED NOW!
I’m within hours of making a final decision as to what fantasy site to use for the league. The host is narrowed down to two choices, Buzz or Kerplookeee.
We’ve used Kerplookee for two years now, with decent results. There are some issues with Kerplookee, like when the league was down for two weeks or the teams not carrying over into the next week like they say they shoud. That being said, it isn’t bad and by staying there all the people currently in the league wouldn’t have to sign up again.
The other option is Buzz fantasy golf. Buzz has been “courting” HOG Space and their league software seems robust and has many customizable functions and options.
If you have a preference, this is your last chance to chime in. Let me know where you’d like to do it. I may end up simply flipping a coin.
NOW ACCEPTING SPONSORS FOR 2012
Anyone who has competed in HOG Space fantasy golf knows I give away great prizes from the biggest names in golf like Nike Golf, Bridgestone Golf, OGIO, FootJoy, Bobby Jones Golf, Nickluas Golf, Callaway Golf, Rife Putters, Tattoo Golf, Sumi-G, Frogger Golf, etc etc. If you’d like to sponsor the 2012 league let me know. The benefit of sponsoring is a TON of exposure here on HOG and on The Golf Space. I’m talking millions of hits per month.
PRIZES
I usually nail down the prizes at the PGA Show and announce them by the opening of the season.
I’m considering dumping the weekly prizes for a couple of reasons. 1. Only about half of the winners claim their prizes. 2. They’re a pain in the rear end to ship. Perhaps I’ll have them drop shipped or figure something different out.
COMMENTS?
If you have comments you may post them below, or even better, post in The Golf Space’s Fantasy Golf Discussion Forum area.
2011 HOG Space Fantasy Golf is OVER. Thanks to all who competed! It has been a fantastic season and MANY thanks to the sponsors Nike, FootJoy, Bridgestone Golf, Dornoch Putters, Sumi-G, Frogger Golf and Tattoo Golf. Unfortunately it seems that the last sponsor, Tornado Tees, may not be in business anymore. I’ve tried a million times to get in touch with them and no response, and they are local. So whoever won those weekly prizes, I can send you a different prize since I have a few others left over from last season. And now, the winners! Drum roll please…

1st | Plexico | Nike VR Pro Driver | |
