    ... it's just for Tour Legends!

    Boo! That makes me sad. But not too sad, since it's Christmas.

    But hey, WGT, what gives? Please know there are other players out there too who want to try some competition with Unevens.

    Now that there's one tourney out there, can you share any more information about how you plan to release Unevens across the board?

    And p.s., I'm intrigued by the choice of Bethpage for the first part: it's one of the 2 courses where the majority of fairways are extremely flat (along with Kiawah). Are you trying to ease the TL's in... ? To get the real experience of Unevens, RSG, St A's, Oly, Oakmont provide the most fun!!!

    And p.p.s. On a really important note, thank you WGT for giving us this fantastic game, and for engaging in the somewhat thankless task of developing Uneven Lies to meet the oft-expressed need for a more challenging experience. I for one have greatly appreciated what this innovation does for the gameplay, forcing a much more strategic and considered approach. I think Unevens is the best thing that's happened to the game this year, and I'm delighted to see it take the public, competitive stage at last. Thank you to all at WGT, and Merry Christmas!

    ---------

    FYI: for anyone out there interested in a really tough challenge, look out for news of Tough-It-Out II coming soon in January to the WGT Community-Organized Tourney section. Tough-It-Out I, aka The Trans-Atlantic Starter Clubs Uneven Open took place in the Fall: details here)

    I agree with Corwyn that there's many of us that have wanted the uneven lies feature in a tourney for some time now. We've had a public uneven Community Organized Tourney and a CC one. The scoring was much better than I expected. That leads me to believe there's players who have been practicing the unevens just waiting for the chance to play it when it counts. The obvious upside is this is the beginning and I'm sure we'll see a greater amount of availability in the near future. Boy I'd like to have had the chance to play in this thing though.

    Let's see some amazing play from our top players and some recounting of the rounds in this thread so the rest of us can share in the experiences that are being had. I can't wait to hear about the Olympic round when a single play of the course will determine a winner.

    Have fun TL's and hit 'em crooked and bent when the lie calls for it. ;-)

    Pathetic WGT would offer this tournament to TL's only.   Im pissed.   Show up at the party and get told you're not allowed in because you arent good enough.   Id like to dump prime rib juices on your azzes and let Buford through the door.    A full humbug to this one. 

    Mwahs to all.    LOL

    not only do i think they deserve it but what better group to provide feedback as they beta-test the format and variables?   

    otherwise, these pages would be full of nothing but complaints.

     

    Smart move in my book - they're the best and the group is fairly small. - tap that resource and offer them something the rest don't get yet as a small compensation.

    merry christmas :)

    I'm on #10 right now. -4 through 9 holes I'll probably end up shooting a 70

    Not only is it uneven lies but in all of WGTs wisdom they make it Heavy winds.

    I had a 20mph headwind on 9 so my drive is right of the bunker on the side hill. Ball way above my feet so it's going left big time. Now guess where wind is coming from.. right to left lol I bet I aimed 150 yrds right of the green and hit a 3/4 bs 3 iron that flew about 30 feet off the ground in a huge semi circle and ended up in the rough just short of the green. Crazy shot.

    Seriously?
