Re: Random (and possibly dumb) Idea

  I was wondering and thinking about the level 64 hacks and formed an idea in my head.  To cope with the "legal" cheaters with the advanced equipment, WGT could program the game so that to play ranked rounds from shorter tees, your clubs all had to be below a certain level.  Then, no hack can have a high end R11s and play from the red, or easiest, tees.  

  I know this would be horrible for business.  Also, tournaments would still be played from tees corresponding to your tier and Free Weekly Tournaments would be tier-based. And, green speeds would be the same as normal for your tier.

  We have been discussing a similar idea here (no comment by WGT though) and one of the points against it was that it would eliminate the sales of clubs for those low-tier players (partly known as sandbaggers) and thus would lower WGT's income.

  Guess how probable a realisation is(?)

  Yeah, I must say that I did see that topic so I can't claim complete ownership of the idea but maybe (hopefully) something will be implemented in the game.

  Hope springs eternal

  or, less poetic, in German

  Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. (Hope is the last to die)
