Just to clear up any misunderstandings.
Because we play offering Free to win prizes including real cash, we operate a strict entrance program to all applications into golfseekers and the country club. This allows fair play on an equal basis from the very start. So to make things a little more clear, I have set out below the criteria in which golfseeker bases its' decisions on all applicants.
Golfseekers Exclusive Country Club policy
We accept any player with a minimum of 10 ranked games (regardless of WGT tier), however all applicants are carefully screened on their scoring history along with all other available stats to build a true reflection on that player's performance ability levels. As you know GS run handicaps therefore by conducting these methods, it enables GS to make an initial decison for the issuing of the player's first handicap. Any stats that waver from the norm (such as false readings to enhance ready go or matchplay games) are further srcutinised and a decision is made as to the success rate of a applicant's chance to join the GS CC.
When successful all players are grouped placed into respective divisions of their newly gained handicap and will play accordingly, with the chance of promotion to higher divisions as their game improves and their handicaps lowered.
New amateurs and some pro's are likely to be placed in the lowest division due to their higher handicaps, whereas masters will be placed in the division that their new handicap dictates.
A FINAL NOTE
We will be closing applications for the exclusive GS CC in the next few days (In time for season 3- starting Monday 12th July) If you haven't applied and wish to, then I urge you to hurry.
Those that have applied and have been accepted by means of an invitation sent to you. (74 pending at present) please accept the invitation before the club closes apllications for the season, or you will not be able to join until next season.
Over 100 competition templates are now set up for season 3, plus 10 cc games within the wgt framework per week - I am in the process of creating the full fixture list consisting of over 175 games in the 10 week season calendar.
