  Some dont even need that ding finger....oops (never meant to print that) ;-)

  Some don't even need their own PC. They can just pop down the internet cafe when they want to win some credits.

  Obviously many will not find it that difficult to get to champ.  I am not convinced WGT got it right, but I don't begrudge anyone getting what they set out to do whatever tees they use.

  As an Owner of a CC that is, with some success, endeavouring to encourage talent I do still see WGT missing a trick that end.  Keep the tiers and ways of getting there the same, but provide a way for others to get the pro shop open a little earlier still I think is still worth consideration.

  With respect not everyone is as concerned with the tier badge at all costs as some.  For talents that work hard I still think say L96 ish should be job done pro shop wise.  May be complicated programming but if they had to have say 300 RRs off real stuff (minimum) out of the TL grind to champ, and be say L96 then IMO that's fair.  Not only fair but keeps interest and focus longer more often.  I fully appreciate L90 clubs are so good now, but golf remains a mental game as well.  These people I think could be looked after better, and some stay longer ?.  MY view :)

  I find hitting off the reds to be pretty hard, my old brain has to start thinking about where my golf ball is landing off the Tee  lol.  

  The Champ Tier in comps will start when they get enough people in that Tier to start their own comps. I might be mistaken but I think we were having the same talks when TL's came in.

  Does it really matter how people get their Ave's down to get promoted. I don't really care.

  I like the new Tier system as it gives me something to play for instead of twiddling my thumbs as a TL. Mixing up the Tee's in CC comps also brings in that little bit of difference to a comp instead of the old boring hitting off the Blacks all the time.

  Just have fun gang.  What will be will be

  I agree Rog, the custom tees in the CC comps is an excellent variation. One has to think a little before just bashing ur longest drive.

  I set one round up on BOF in my CC and the boss shot a 52 !!!

  Mixed tee stuff is excellent by way of even an often change.  See those in the WGT multi rounds a fair bit and never had an issue at all, just throw those in any mix in fair share.  It's the reds on their own that get a bit tedious after a short while for many, but some really like them and fair enough even there.  Room for a fair bit for sure.

  If the pro shop was ever to be opened a bit early it would be fair enough to ask for much more than red tee scores that's all, IMO.  EDIT Not the pressing issue it once might have been anyway with what's out there now by even L90, but something for WGT to maybe think on.

  Play loads of rounds, be distintcly average, be called a "champion", get a massive 250 credits, still be distinctly average............

  Surely not? Yes it would appear this is the case, jeez if I can do it pretty much anyone can.

  Seems to be a reward for perseverance as much as anything.

  Don't know how many actually play the game but there are only 2000 TL's. Seems to be a very small percentage. Just sayin.

  So we hear there is Millions.   2000 Tl's and getting bigger all the time is pretty good I think.

  Anyway my Ave is 58.25 at the moment.  Not sure what the cut off is for promotion for champs  as I keep hearing 58.   

  Now I'm both scared and excited   lol.    Actually, I'm damn excited..... bring it on    lol

  That's my best guess from the low side at the moment, and your numbers may provide a chance to confirm on the high side.

  I'd guess that you were saturated before?

  Have you played 200+ rounds since the introduction of Cs?

  Apparently you still have to grind for the 200 extra rounds necessary - stay happy!
