  The advent of red-tees in CC Tourneys since Oct 2015 has produced distortions in player-ability as regards tier and average , due to either greed or a lack of application and skill.

  Yes, by WGT including these rounds In states and averages was their biggest brain-fart yet.

  I played against someone the other night, 9 hole stroke round, Their average was 54 Champ - well sadly they became undone playing from default tees and quit on the 9th at 2 over par......red tee wonder.

  and your point is...?

  Thought that was obvious mate.

  The advent of red-tees in CC Tourneys since Oct 2015 has produced distortions in player-ability as regards tier and average , due to either greed or a lack of application and skill.

  A "No Wind" setup would only enhance this distortion.

  Can you get your head round that?

  i understand all of that, but those who would use red tee's for tier enhancement or to bring down their score average are probably cheating the system in any way possible anyway but that shouldn't deter the rest of us from enjoying them from time to time. what i am wondering is why you felt the need to dig up one of my old posts to make your point.

  the occasional no wind tournament would be an interesting change of pace though

  Quote from October last year   :-  "The occasional red-tee  tournament would be an interesting change of pace though",
