  White tees with really no wind to speak of. The strongest wind I saw was 14mph.

  I think the only time I hit anything over a PW on the 2nd shot was on the par 5s, and #4. I missed one 9 foot eagle putt and a 8 foot bender for birdie to tie that 51.

  By the time it's over the top 18 will be 53 and below. Maybe 54.

  I'm sure most of the WGT community play real golf. And most have probably participated in tournaments at one time or another. For special tournaments like this I think it would be beneficial for WGT to flight them. I'm sure they would get way more entries when players with lesser equipment and skill levels have a chance to win something too.

  For those of you that don't know what tournament flights are. Everyone plays the tournament. Let's say there were 500 entries. WGT could make 5 flights.

  Championship flight is the Top 100 and all ties

  First flight next 100 and ties

  and so on.

  Ties breakers are dealt with the same way they are dealt with now.

  All scores would be kept secret until the tourney is finished so there would be no way to know what to shoot to end up first in first flight or whatever. No way to sandbag in other words.

  I'm not saying this is something that should be done for the majors.

  Anyone see a downside to this at all?

  If trying to make top 10   you need to eagle either 1 or 3   in addition to 2  or may as well hit restart.

   i   would like to win one for sure ,,,,,,,    but just to be on the front page or top 10 ,,,,the thing here is this for me ,i will play weekly  tourny  i play it once  then i am done , some players play it over and over again till they post a verry good score so they deserve to place on top ,   my best placing is in single play ,and my best is  between 50 and 100 best ,   most time now,  every monday  i get up  then ckeck the weekly tourny  i enter the single play first ,then i look at the rest, leader board first , when i see  the first 10 scores are all under  55     i dont go there to frustrating ,  Sun Safe Classic and the likes WGT gives us ; i always enter  them, knowing i have no chance of winning , two weeks ago i played  a tournement WGT invitation ( dont remember name or course)  i finished with a 61,i was  so happy  then i looked at the leader board  my heart sank  LOL . good thing is i dont play for $$$$$ ,   but i still hope some day, you will see me on the first page of a leader board :)

  It sounds good, but no matter what WGT does there will be players who are not happy with the way the tourney is set up or run.

  Finished the front 9 last night with a 23! Eagle on 2,3,6 & 7. For the life of me I could not make a putt on the back 9 :( But I was certainly thinking sub 50 @ the turn.
