New ready go list (6th October)

  So the new list is out. Sigh!!!

  It's nearly the same as last month. There's still no 500cr one's and there's not enough of them. Last month we had a tour legend Oakmont full 18 that took 2weeks to fill and the 2nd one is at 2 weeks now. So what do they do? Put the exact same one on again. Ridiculous!!!

  I am absolutely bored sh*tless at the moment with this crap that gets rolled out month after month. Does the person who puts the RG's on not read the forums to see what players want.

  Guess i'll take a break from the game now and maybe check in in a months time to see if anythings changed but i won't be holding my breath.

  Yes, I can only add that I'm totally disappointed with yet another of regular 3-weekly RG changes. Although the legend 1000 credit one is gone (good), but we obviously didn't not suggest taking it away without replacing it with a 500, a 300, or at least another 200 one.

  It seems like the admins TOTALLY don't listen what many good players repeatedly say on the forum (although they acknowledged having read it).

  What's worse, they don't give any arguments against. I would still like them to explain, but if they don't, I will provide some of my very cynical hypotheses of this behavior.

  I too will probably take a break (or at least substantially reduce the intensity of playing) till things change...

  Have to agree with you, what exactly is the point of the Tour Legend Full 18 at Oakmont? There is a new full 18 at Oakmont open to all players as well, no Kiawah, no Bethpage, no Best of Famous, no Cabo but multiple chances to play Congressional, Oakmont and Olympic.

  guess itll be hard to please everyone but i think this months selection is better than last months selection - sure theres not a lot of big ones available but at least theres a bigger choice of where to play. and im all for the short tees RGs too - i like the changeups from the normal tees we get all the time. love to see a few uneven lies RGs too if anyones game :D

  It's nearly the same as last month. There's currently 15 RG's on the list, 6 of which will be gone when they're finished. This leaves 2 on Congressional again, 2 on Oakmont again, 1 on whistler again, 1 on St georges again, 1 on Best of hardest again, 1 on Olympic again & 1 on St Andrews again. Sure they've changed the conditions and some have different 9's, well only St Georges has changed from back 9 to front 9 and the St Andrews back 9 is there and not the full 18.

  So we'll have 9 ready go's to play, 2 of which are Tour Legend only that'll take 2 weeks to fill. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

  instead of having two options for the same course example a oak 18 and a oak f9

  set it up that there is some kind of ready go on every course every month no duplicate courses

  There is 10 or 11 RG's available to us each month and there is 11 courses available atm so have one RG on each course every rotation

  example

  Oak 18, Beth B9, Congo F9, Kiawah 18, Whistler B9, Olympic F9, Cabo 18, B of Hard B9, B of Famous F9, S George F9, Andrews B9

  obviously some would be tier specific but every course is covered and would give more variety

  Hi guys,

  If you guys can come up with the ready go's you want to play and post a list on my wall for each tier/non-tiered and I will do my best to make it happen.

  I hadn't even noticed the list had even changed, i thought i was still playing last months ready go's.  Must have been camouflaged, but as long as Olympic is still available i will be happy anyway.lol

  Easy, just give us every course in 18 hole format and vary the entrance fee on those, and add 2 or 3 front or back on top, the ready go's of every course would fill up anyway (appart from $10 at Olympic which has been on 20 to 30 for weeks)

  Or as was mentioned if there is 11 courses, give us 6 x 18 hole's and the other 5 split them up so theres front 9 holes and back 9 holes of the remaining 4 courses, and vary price on all.

  Olympic 18 holes = $3       Hardest holes 18 (legends/tour legends)$3

  Bethpage 18 holes = $2      St Andrews back $1

  Best of holes = $10                 Oakmont back Legend/tour legend $2

  Cabo 18 = $2

  St Andrews 18= $5

  Whistler front = $1    Whistler back =$1

  Congressional back =$2    RSG front $1

  Kiwah 18 =$2

  Regarding credits, I'd suggest the following:

  pro & tour pro: 2 x 100, 1 x 200

  master & tour master: as now (2 x 100, 2 x 200)

  legend & tour legend: as now + 1 x 300-500

  the rationale here is that for higher tiers there should be relatively more ready-goes, to keep people motivation to tier up, especially where different tee distances are involved...

  For all, I'd suggest to add at least one more 300 and a 500, perhaps two each, so that good (but not the very best) players would have something to play for where winning does not necessarily require below 60 scores...

  And perhaps another 1k or 2k for high stakes junkies :) 

  Which matches really doesn't matter to me, as long as there is a good balance of courses, difficulties and wind speeds. Plus I'd prefer not to have baby tees for higher tiers, as also mentioned in the other thread...
