  YankeeJim:

  Is there a particular reason multi round tournaments can't be single play?  It appears unlimited play is getting a bit old and keeping  players from bothering to even try. The Open is one thing but having all of them unlimited play is creating some unrest. It would be a nice change.

  Personally, I much prefer the single play format, others thrive on unlimited play. Maybe we can find some type of middle ground? Say three chances... You get to tee off on #1 three times. You can finish three rounds, you can restart twice after not birdieing the first three holes twice and live with your third round. In three rounds, everyone should get at least one round with somewhat favorable wind conditions. No one's fault but their own if they muck up the first couple holes in that round. If nothing else, single play would be a nice addition to the multirounds, which I really do enjoy. And, like a vast majority of players here, I believe equipment should be tier based. The sandbagging has gotten out of hand, and WGT's continual enabling (and promotion) of such tactics is insulting to honest players.

  Am I just not finding them or are skins games stats not listed as MPC's are? I'd dare not accuse anyone of anything but skins can be played for money. Why are we not seeing stats players have against opponents in skins games?

  My question to WGT is..

            Do you guys tweak this game going back and forth from being easier to harder, daily, weekly, or monthly? Or not at all?

    I'm not complaining, I would just like to know. So the days I'm playing bad I can either blame myself or figure it's wgt turning up the heat.

  Thx, Steve

  In tourney leaderboards, will WGT return to showing the "not played" and "WD"?

  This affects transparency of the tourney purse (number of entries is only shown in the game client, that is, no way to check the # once the tourney is finished),
  as well as the cut lines in multiround CC tourneys (cut line is drawn from those who posted a score, not from all participants).

  What is W.G.T. going to do about the games performance? The problems with loading, disconnections, swing meter, putting grids, all need to be addressed. Also what is going to be done about dishonest players scamming players  in matches for credits? Will W.G.T., do anything to regulate restart accounts?

  Can WGT buy a time machine and zoom to 2018, complete the 5 courses  Meirion, Pinehurst, Chambers Bay, Erin Hills & Pebble Beach so we can play them now, i'm licking my lips all ready at the prospect.

  1) Would it be possible to introduce say a $100 gift card for 90,000 credits maybe?  A lot of players think collecting credits are "pointless" and might think 165,000 will never ever happen, so maybe 90,000 credits for a $100 as well as the $250.  It would still be a win win for WGT, as the credits accumulated have all come from some one's credits cards so cashing a few in would still boost the economy. i.e.  player a cashes in 100,000 credits, gets a $100 gift card, WGT then can put these 100,000 credits in a "pot" and use them as a promotion, even if WGT said " 10,000 credits for $50 instead of $100 to the first 10 customers, WGT will still make $400 fr the $100 they paid out on a gift card.

  2) Can WGT start combating the high level players who do their best not to tier up, but instead keep winning tournaments and matchplay with their "legend" drivers off pro tees.  Suggestion:  Why can't you limit the drivers, so if a level 89 pro is using a R11 282 yard driver, why not limit that driver so it is actually the low level 252 yard R11, whilst they are teeing from the pro tee's, but then when they do tier up to master, then the full distance is unlocked.  This could be implemented immediately, you wont see much complaining because it will be a who's who of "sandbaggers" and the legitimate players will try and tier up to unlock the full distance. It wont be breaking any rules either because they will still have access to the full distance, only when they tier up.  Could be done with all drivers, it didn't do me any harm having to stick with a 245 yard rapture until master tier.  It would also go a great way in stopping the incentive of opening a new account.

  3) Could we have a wider selection of Ready Go's, at least 1 of every course (even if its a front or back) 

  4) Are you going to sort out the problem with Dinged shots not acting like excellent but react more like a missed ding on wind side., and also when you've aimed 15 yards left and ding a shot, the shot gets taken from the pin the de-fault aim position, not where we've moved the aim marker.

  5) If we are only going to have say 1 WGT course a year, are you thinking about adding easy, medium and hard pin locations on ALL WGT COURSES

  - When is WGT planning to go from Béta to Full and change the T&C's accordingly?

  - Can WGT provide some (more) insight in the amount of (active) players on WGT and how they are devided over the tiers?

  chris5214:

   

  2. why can't all top level clubs be available to low level Legends ? lvl 90 pro's with top clubs hitting off pro tees seems to me an unmerited advantage .. while low level Legends like myself don't have access to those clubs yet ..

   

  I like this one ^

  Perhaps the introduction of a new tier would be worth discussing? There are quite a few players with an average of 59 or lower now, perhaps they should be in a tier of their own (i.e Champion), as it could give newer Legends a decent shot at some Ready Go's. Rather than the 59ers collecting thousands upon thousands of credits, it would be a much more even spread.

  Also it would give Legends a new tier to aspire to reach.

  Please consider a Wgt chatroom and or lobby function- not one we have to navigate away to like the IRC ones. With different virtual rooms so players who are not golfers in real life can talk about anything they like and not have to try to pretend they know anything about actual golf. Obviously there should be one for those as do know, and enjoy talking technical talk as well. And single play in tournaments to reflect a persons actual skill as opposed to a by rote application of neurologically remembered calculations ;-)

  1.  Multi- round Tournaments should be single play.

  2.  Will Tournament speed greens be added to Practice Mode?

  If the conditions & tee placements are shown on the notice then there is no reason why those who wish to play in them cannot practice in Practice Mode in advance....they will still use up the same number of balls as if the tournament was unlimited.
