  I would like to see tournaments based upon how much money you have spent to upgrade your equipment. Someone like myself who plays with starter irons and wedges and balls is at a distinct disadvantage to someone who LIVES on the site and constantly spends money for upgrades. Unless, of course, those who dominate because of equipment and rounds played are afraid of us, those who have never paid a dollar at the clubhouse. Meow.

  There is a CC out there for only starter clubs... I forget the name but it would be a good one to join if you aren't going to upgrade.  You can play their credit CC tourneys and have a more level playing field.

  Good luck!

  The club is called "Starters Only".  Go to the Country Club section and search for it.  It sounds like you'd be a good fit.... unless of course you have non-starter clubs... I haven't taken the time to check....

  I seriously doubt the ones who "dominate" have to rely on equipment nearly as much as the rest of us.

  Since wgt is here for one reason and one reason only, which is to make bushels of money and your type of playing doesn't add to their coffers, I wouldn't expect much sympathy. 

  Also, my starters are in my bag and although I not proficient at this, I'll play you anytime you wish. Don't care if you are a newbie or a Legend, bring it on!

  I actually thought the OP made a good point until he thought it prudent to slur everyone who doesn't do it his way. He then made it personal to all.

  Smiling as I reply.

  Thank you very much.

  I'm sure I am as surprised at seeing this as you were writing it.

  Hmmm... If you haven't paid a dollar at the clubhouse how did you aquire the Ping G10, Ping 2020 Rapture V2 3W, Ping K15 hybred & TM Daytona putter? Did the tooth fairy mysteriously drop those in your bag one night or did you do like the rest of us and go BUY them at the pro shop?

  IMO you can play  well with starter irons and wedges but I'll bet you wouldn't have made Master without BUYING the other clubs to be able to reach the greens and putt better. The guys I've met that dominate isn't so much because of their clubs but because they play & practice a lot, just like you.
