  please guys can you get whoever is responsible for the lay out of the Ready Go tournament conditions, to add the tees to the wind and green speed?

  Seriously, it isn't that much more work and it would from my point of view make it so much easier in deciding which ones to enter and which ones to pass on. Forward tee tournaments are fine once in a while but I really don't get any great pleasure in driving through every other green and playing a 40 yard punch shot for every approach. The Whistler back 9 ready go is an enjoyable one to play until you realise you're playing off the Toddler tees.

  Maybe I'm just a joyless fud but I really don't get any pleasure playing pitch and putt ready goes. The exception to that is Cabo as the greens always make me look like a clown anyway. A wee note in the tournament description would mean I can avoid playing these.

  HNY to you guys, keep up the good work :)

  Totally agree about giving the tees. Far more important than the green speed imo.

  Champ greens and high winds. Even off the hack tees I wouldn't fancy breaking par with Whistler's greens.

   

  Edit: I guess you're referring to a TL one as the Leg one is a nightmare and sadly not off hack tees.

  \I believe the last time I visited this the main issue was that there is no space to fit it in.

  You should also be able to see the conditions from the web interface?

  The same conditions are showing in the gameclient and on the main RG page. But tees aren't listed anywhere and it would really be great if they were, so everyone could set their bag accordingly for the 1st time they enter 1. I for one would like to know in advance if I need the 3w or if I can swap it for the 4th wedge. The way it is now, you basically enter blind the 1st time and adjust for all the next tries.

  If there is no space, I'd have tee info instead of hole locations that are probably the least important for the score, compared to other parameters.

  On the subject of displaying parameters, there clearly needs to be a redesign anyway to incorporate more information, since in addition to Tee boxes, it would obviously be useful to have Lie conditions listed in the game client as well (especially now as Uneven Lies are coming more on-stream).

  Thanks for considering this!

  Here is a thought.  Each course has red, blue, black, white,green and sometimes gold to the tee blocks.  So, why not try color coding.  The green speed could be color coded to indicate the tee blocks.

  As said above the pin positions seem to be random anyway so they could certainly be replaced with tee.

  On another note I've played far too many RGs and lost far too many credits this weekend :p

  To be honest that's probably too complicated as red at RSG = M/TM, green at OAK = L/TL etc.

  A simple Easy, Medium, Hard, Champion, Default would suffice.
