I don't get it re. ready gos

  Here I am already played the 2 ready gos I was willing to based on availability. SA f9 and RSG b9. Both for 100 credits.

  Yesterday and before, there were several more I played because they were available (8 total). Various Kias, SAs, RSGs, and best ofs available for TMs.

  Now, the ready-go board is loaded with whistler, oakmont and olympic. None of which I'll pay to play... ever.

  What is the problem with having 40 or 50 ready-gos available? WGT is making very little on me and many others right now because of the lack of available RGs we're willing to play. Why not have various credit levels available for each course to TMs? and for each other tier as well?

  Its bad enough having to wait on the 1 or 2 players that sign up for a RG and don't play until the last minute or not at all. Now we're being limited even further by availability.

  Ah well. Keeps my $ in my pocket...

  Everybody has their own opinion on this. Personally, I get tired of seeing RSG, Andy's and Kia on the RG list. Those are boring (easy) courses in my opinion. When I'm playing an easy course, so is everyone else. I prefer the RG's on courses where bad shots are punished and it takes good shots to score well. I also love the fact that they are now switching up the options midway through the month, hopefully this becomes the norm, variety is the spice of life. A lot of people only have time for a couple RGs a day, I think having too many more would just increase the time it takes for the less popular ones to fill up.

  There are quite a few that haven't closed yet, hence the reason you don't see them on the list right now.

  They should be almost done but yes you're right, I've seen a few of them that we are only waiting for 1 player. This is why it's been suggested by myself and a few others, that WGT shorten the time to complete your round. Why would you need 12 hours?

  That's my point. you could have the availability to play whatever courses you want if all were available at different tiers and costs. I don't see the point in not making them available.

  If you don't want to play RSG, Kia or SA, you have the option not to do so by all the others being available. But if I and others want to play those courses, should we not have that option?

  Make it 3 hours after signup. If you can't get a round played in 3 hours, don't sign up.

  Some are signing up and not even playing until the next day if at all.

  I concur. The "Ready" of Ready Go should mean that you are......Ready.

  You could have every course available to every tier at every cost, but with so many options, it is going to take a long time for those things to fill up. From your original post - "Its bad enough having to wait on the 1 or 2 players that sign up for a RG and don't play until the last minute or not at all." Less options = less time to fill and vice versa. You can't have it both ways, that's all I'm saying.

  I don't disagree with that however, having a multitude of options means being less affected. I'm much less likely to have the ability to play with 2 options rather than 25 options. Wouldn't you agree?

  I agree you'll have an easier time finding a RG that suits your preferences, I just think you'll end up waiting longer for it to fill up... and then you get to wait for the jack*** that waits 11 and half hours to tee off. I could be wrong, it would be far from the first time.
