srellim234........normally, I would AGREE with what your comment here. But, when I look at HOW LOW many of those CTTH scores are on the regular WGT golf course CTTHs......and I see that the top 10 on the Leaderboard have an AVG. of LESS than 5 Feet from EVERY hole......HOW is that possible??? And MOST of those holes are over 100 Yards...except for a few chip shots & some have (1) putt within the 9 holes you play. Hey, I'm definitely NOT "sour grapes" here....I think it's fantastic when ANY member can put 9 shots even under 10 ft. from every hole!!!
I don't think it's necessarily EASIER to put those 9 putts within 5 feet......EVERY time. I think my LOWEST score on the WGT BEST OF PUTTING SHOTS is about a 65.0 - but, I have a total of (13) Hole In Ones on that course - which includes 2 on that 260 ft. putt.
I guess part of the point I was trying to make is.......that the WGT BEST OF PUTTING SHOTS is still conidered a "Closest to the Hole" challenge......WHY would WGT be concerned with NOT including those 9 holes (if you get a Hole In One)??? Hey, sinking ANY of those putts is no piece of cake.....especially, that 260 footer.
But......you did make some good points......thanks for YOUR input here.
