    Since turning Legend around Christmas time (which incidentally took me 2 long years) I can never set up or get to play a Stroke Play round against other WGT Members. I'm not talking about games with other members from my Country Club but just going into WGT and setting the Stroke Play or Match Play games. The system lets me set them up as normal then other players join the group. as soon as they notice the Legend Tier they run away.

    Similarly if I go to join a game that has already been set, get kicked out by the person who set the game up purely because of my Tier, regardless of what their own tier is. Do they not realise we all play this for fun and as we often notice during our club games, most of us are not Robots and each of us can and do have bad rounds and that the best way to progress is to learn from members on higher tiers.  

    The question for those members who are of a higher tier who only wish to play those from Hack or Amateur and kick out anyone of a similar tier to their own is:, Are you getting anything from the game?

    Yes, it happens. Some people are just far too picky. Half the people with green lights on aren't even near their computers too I reckon.

    Some may fear the Legend green speed coming with us, some may fear to be pushed down in average when they win against a Legend.

    (Yes I know that this won't happen in strokeplay, but do they know?)

    1 advice: NEVER make it to TL Playing a 9-hole MPC takes something like 30 mins. Finding one takes more then that, if any.

    Wait until you get to tour legend 22 kick outs in 20 minutes, LUCKY if i get 1 round a day in matchplay.  People seem to want to play challenge matches against EASY opposition.. COWARDS.  Its meant to be matchplay CHALLENGE (the clue's in the name) not BULLY lower easy tiered players.

    Winning rated or challenge matchplay against higher tiers will drop the average and help promotion.

    This won't happen "winning" strokeplay with a Legend, but less informed players might think so.

    I've been inhabiting the Legend world of being booted from the lobby, for a long time now. Can only imagine how bad it is for a Tour Legend.

    What most annoys me though, is when another Legend kicks you out. I've even had this when trying to get an Alt Shot game, which strikes me as pretty crazy. Maybe I need to switch to a different aftershave lotion.
