    hpurey:

    Well, shti, this topic has gone terribly terribly of the path I had in mind when I started it.  

     

    All started when a tour pro butted in to a topic titled calling all Legends lol

    Oh well

     

    Might as well lock it WGTicon......no more use at this point

     

    Thanks again all who contributed in a positive sense.

    HP

    Only one thing to do hpurey....make Legend man and enjoy the ride...being a Legend is what you want because that means you are one of the best...played the game straight and got to the top.  There are a lot of Legends way better than me and always will be but I feel I'm pretty good just because I'm a Legend.

    Here me now: I will not let anyone derail these posts with your bickering. If I have to mute 1 of you or 20 of you, I will do so and move on.

    I am leaving this thread in hopes that several of you who got emails from me will heed this warning.

    I rather not wake up and delete 30 more off topic posts.

    Well I like to paractise the Legend tees as i approach the holy grail (61.24) at the moment. Must say i relish the oppurtunity and cannot wait  to play from the Tips,assuming i make it that far of course!

    I think you still have a little time to go until you make Legend H, unless you shoot some very low scores.. make sure you let us all know in the forum when you do

    Good Luck

    One thing to note.   WGT was the one who came up with the names for the tiers.  When this started to be discussed a lot of us felt that the term Legend was a little lofty for all of us except for a dozen or so players. 

    However in the end WGT chose the tier names and we moved on.  Anyone who constantly rails about the term legend is railing at the wrong people, many of us were Masters and converted to Legends last fall when WGT came up with the new rankings.  Now it is just a term to us not something that makes us feel we are better than anyone else.

    The discussion of playing with standard clubs is silly.  Most of the really good players on this site can take standard balls and clubs and break par from the white tees.  These guys are great putters that is the key to their scoring.  Granted you won't have as short of putts but they will put it close on holes that are short and on holes they can't reach in 2 their wedge shots will get close.  Many of these players broke par back when no other clubs than standard were available.  Last year in the British Open I used standard balls and qualified, I felt they took less effect from the wind so it can be done.

    I choose not to use standard clubs, I can and once in a while someone sets up a tournament or challenge with them but frankly it is too much trouble to change them and then change them back.  I don't play real golf with my 1955 MacGregor Tourney Irons and my Titleist persimmon woods anymore.

    I think many of those who were not around really do not know this. I remember that day I logged in! Man was I angry, that was the whole reason I had WGT deactivate my old account and I started all over again. I personally felt I had not obtained the ranking and was upset being thrown in to it. Personally I am glad that I earned it, I was not ready for the level at the time. 

    Great post Tarheel
