My CC has 3 TL's, one of which is in a class by themselves with outstanding play and continuous low scoring. So now the bigots in the CC are creating free tournaments and not inviting Tour Legends.

Yet, in a CC tournament we hit from the same tees as the Legends, are subjected to the same green speeds as the Legends, so why the bigotry?

Is it because they may not win? So what? It's a free tournament. Do you really need another "Dominator Trophy"? Maybe a "Bigot's Trophy" should be created.

Can someone explain the bigotry?

Maybe they are weary of losing to someone with better skills and a at a lower level.

I say have a shoot out and see who's the best player.... :)

I have noticed what you are talking about several times DuFuss. It is not right. I have only created one tournament since I have been a member and I included everyone. The 3 of you play very well and yeah you know who is Impossible to beat! HAHA! I try to hang in there with you 3 but it's not about the win for me. Although I wish I could win more!

It's not Bigotry DuFuss. It's because they are scared!! They want a chance to at least win one for a change. Tour Legends are intimidating to all most everyone and they think they don't have a chance and in most cases they don't! I would rather play my A$$ off and loose by 1 or 2 strokes to a TL than win by 5 over a TM. I don't need anymore trophy's. Just enjoy the game!!

shouldn't this question be brought up in a CC forum, perhaps with CC owner?

If the owner made sure that he/she filled most of the ten spots then surely this wouldn't be a problem. The occasional tier specific tournament would be fine. Just my opinion.

This!

Though it's not fear but reason.

I have a few TLs in my own CC and a few Legends better than me, a 67 Legend. Thus I don't enter any credit tournament with a one or three position payout - I might as well throw my credits away. I don't mind to be beaten in a friendly tourney, that's for fun, but I want at least a remote chance to see some of my wager eventually.

You've always been a good sport about the game Tiger, Thank you. I guess I shouldn't say bigot, but discrimination. I'm definitely no better than anyone. There's a 10 tournament (free) limit in the CC and I try to enter all.

We have 2 L's on the verge of becoming TL's and they get to play.

Since this is a new WGT feature, I post it to the forum so other members can think about what the implications are. I understand if you are a lowly TP and want to exclude M's and above, but if you're a L and exclude TL's in a free tourney because you can't hang, then you're wrong. It's discriminaton.

Of the 10 free tournaments, 1 is for "Hack to TP", another is for "M and TM", and 2 are for all but TL's (there's only 3)....now we're down to 6 left. I'm fine for the lower tiers with the fast green speeds, but not ok with a L creating a free tournament excluding TL's.

It's not occasional anymore.

The owner addressed the problem in a very diplomatic way, and I'm very happy with the way he did it.

My concern is to bring out an issue that may be at other CC's too.
