    MioKontic:

    I didn't see it in the opening post (sorry if it's there and I somehow missed it), but can you please explain 'restricted equipment'.  Are you referring to, say, games without woods or wedges for example, or does it extend to a certain iron/club set being used.

    Good question Mio; without saying directly, I have hinted that there will be some events that do have equipment restrictions. The names of a few of the scheduled events will probably give a good indication of what to expect ;)

    The majority of the tour will be played with normal equipment but I think by throwing in the odd curveball, it'll challenge every player to the maximum throughout. This is why I will again emphasize that all players need to be aware of the need to post screenshots with their equipment showing. The rules have been set out clearly where players don't follow this requirement.

    Many thanks to Josh, Hobbe, Jordan and Stu for adding further credits to the prize pool. We've now broken the 80000 credit mark so we're looking good for giving out a decent prize fund throughout the duration of the tours' 14 events.

    bfghd:

    If you get enough players, are you going to start this early??

    Thanks for this questions. I can 100% confirm that it will not happen before the completion of the Virtual US Open. Too many players are focusing their attention on preparing for this event and I wouldn't want this to cause an unnecessary distraction to those players who will be competing in both events (all the tour management included).

    We'll have a discussion about perhaps bringing the start date forward to allow everyone to have plenty of time to complete the first tour event but at this stage, I can't confirm either way.

    These tournaments are awesome (p.s.: great to see Coolswing back playing, hope he's signed up!). Takes the pressure and your playing to a different level, gets you meeting & playing with great people and ultimately makes you want to be a better player.

    Put me in for 2000 credits guys, can't wait!!

    Cheers

    Apologize in advance for being a dunderhead but couldn't find any answers in the help area....I operate on Google Chrome & when I press the 'print screen' key to test my skills, no other screen pops up to save it anywhere??...I do know that other people posted the same thing, but there were no definitive answer to this that I could find.

    So if anyone knows could they either give me a pm or post it here please....it can't be that hard can it even for this challenged dude...lol.

    A big thanks again. :(

    Thanks to GHGH for the sponsorship and the positive comments from other players (I changed your times Steven but they were only a rough guideline anyway).

    I'd personally suggest using the following tool (thanks Les ;) ):

    http://getgreenshot.org/

    It's very simple to use and sits unobtrusively on your hard drive until you need to open it. Saves all the hassle with copying and pasting etc...

    I'm sure other people maybe able to suggest different solutions.
