    Time to stop the stupidiy.  Tournaments should have players of similar paying abilities competing against each other,  Unfrtunately that just isn't happening n the WGT.  Check the leader boards of any tourny and ou will consstantly see scores in the low 60s leading the hack and amature catagories.  That's so unrealistic that it is sad.  Initiating handicaps (like in the real world) would level the paing field and improve enjoyment.

    hi 

    there is absolutely no reliable way to handicap any player fairly. I know many country club run handicapped tourneys though. Those are based of small pool of players who know each other well and are able to fairly handicap each other.

    The handicaps are tiers. Join a good CC otherwise as Icon said.
