  Wow a new tier, where are those tee blocks going to be from. Holy Crap,  we are already in the parking lot.

  Yep, just played an 18 hole RG (high winds) where on 3 on the holes I couldn't even reach the green in regulation. So if were getting moved back any further (no clue how they'd do this, St A's #2 is a good example) I would like balls with little rocket boosters please.

  My product suggestion is to have the winds in the round you are playing to play TRUE to the course and not random on each hole. I don't care if it blows a different direction for different players just make it a true wind direction to the course.

  If some people don't understand what I'm saying here's an example.

  In real golf I tee off on a course where the #1 hole runs north to south. I have a 10mph tail wind. I tee off on #2 hole that runs south to north and have a 10mph head wind.

  On WGT you could have a tail wind on both holes. Or a headwind on both holes. That makes no sense to me whatsoever.

  It's to stop people continually restarting on unlimited play games until they get a wind that suits them.

  Why should the best here be separated from the rest of the crowd?

  I rope myself and many other sub-60 Legends into this longer tee-box scenario. Should longer tee-boxes be available for new Legends? No. Having longer tee-boxes, and creating a new Legends tier will allow WGT to introduce new, longer equipment for the top tiered players only.

  I never said there should be longer tee-boxes for the top 25 or so money earners. The longer tee-box idea is about a broader picture.

  All Legends work hard to post a winning sub-30 or sub-60 score. With plenty of practice and a bit of endurance, any Legend player can be on top of the leader-board. The player who plays most often will have the best odds of winning, even from a longer tee-box.

  There would still be holes where the wind is not favorable. Unless each hole ran the same direction.

  Unlimited play tourneys are a joke anyway.

  Everyone can say what they feel about how the game is set up and played and I for one believe there are lots of things that WGT could do to improve the game.  A new tier would be good to separate the super Legends from the rest, and it's true that the super legends have worked hard to get where they are and for the most part have been here a lot longer so their experience is paying off.

  At the end of the day, though, fixing some of the glitches would give me more satisfaction than seeing a new tier.  It is my opinion that WGT could create a LOT of customer good will, for example,  just by doing a very nice article on swing meter and how to make it work right on one's computer, and yes computers are all different and it would take some work, but if everyone knew what the swing meter was and how it worked and how to make it better on their own computer then a lot of the dissatisfaction's would disappear.  For the most part, it's the little things that make the biggest difference.  It the major things that create a learning experience.

  In regards to the NEW TEIR being proposed by a few players on here, i agree a new teir would be nice ..something like Tour Legend as mentioned above...the tee box would not need to be set further back then it already is it could just stay the same as it is now for legends...you would have a different title is all !! I mean Tour master and Master are both played from the same tee box and so could a new legend teir ..lol my 2 cent's hitem well all!!!
