    WGTicon:

    Here is why q. why does it bother you guys if you get all head winds? Except for not reaching 5's (you got me there), why would someone want 20tail wind on a par 3?:)

    I would rather have head wind, club or or two and then hit it and stick it.

    -wgticon

    Honestly you don't need to question why we want anything. You don't play readygoes so what's it to you. Your reasoning on why same winds for everyone is unfair is totally irrelevant.

    All we ask is for a couple readygoes with  same wind for everyone, it's apparent your not going to take a poll.The reason it's apparent, is by your absence in this thread.

    Where is Shoe at, or bring back Pizza or how about wgtwildcat,wgtmustang,wgtniblick or wgtgator

    +1 for sure.

    Really to be honest why anyone would want different playing conditions in a single play game in which players are playing for money is total beyond me.

    And.......again Shine you would would be right again on Icon's opinion. He does Not play ready gos and is employed by this company. Soooo.... his opinion on how players wish to play for their money is totally irrelevant without any doubt.

    To be honest again....lol... i can't even see how this has been going on this long. I have only been playing ready gos for about 4 or 5 months. I can't see why these players have not hurt anybody yet over this.... hehe.

    Retarded!!!!

    Just change it, and we good. Hey Shoe think we can get some of the upper managements opinion on this?

    Thanks

    Please give us the same/similar winds in comps. Especially for comp matches within a CC.

    That is, if you don't consider my suggestion a good idea. A simple solution to VEM.

    Then, the tournament descriptions could read like this:

    Wind: NW Moderate
    Greens: Tournament

    or

    Wind:  SSE High
    Greens:  Very Fast

    YES!  I was reading through to see if someone had already suggested the wind stay in one compass direction for the round but I see you went one better.

    In real life pro's get to see which way the wind is blowing before setting off for the 1st tee, this gives them the chance to equip their bag to suit the conditions.   Personally I keep the same clubs in every round but I know some players like to swap drivers depending on wind.  It would be especially useful for those with the adjustable Nike driver.

    This would be a great addition to the game.

    Well, I've had my last of high wind RG's...teeing off on holes that knowing the best you can do is par...or hole out...while another player from the same tees is hitting 7.8/9 iron in...is just effing depressing.

     

    Sure...we can all muster up a decent score in a high wind RG...but facing head wind after head wind after effing head wind, is effing demoralizing, knowing 9 times out of 10, you just won't be in the money.

     

    So...my RG playing time will diminish considerably...I'll stick to low wind RG's and hope I ding it, and moderate wind RG's-sans the par 5 ones...what an effing joke to play par 5's into the wind and the only decent chance of scoring well, is if they play down wind...mercy the logic is beyond my comprehension....understand that I don't mind being 30-50 yards short of the green...as long as everyone else from my tees are as well!!

     

    Why WGT won't even take a simple freaking poll of those who play these efing RG's on a daily effing basis, who (players) should be able to form their own damned opinions, is another comprehension thing that I just am not effing getting.

     

    Maybe all them years in school just totally effed up my mind...

     

    Maybe 1+1 really is 3, and my educators are sitting back laughing at me now..."we got another one".

    Effing tiredsome it is

     

    I don't mind frustration...I don't mind head winds, head 1/4ing winds, etc...but what is so hard to compre-effing-hend and understand that if I play down wind on every effing hole...hell, even the par s, on any effing course that WGT has -albeit the par 3 courses- that I have  a better chance of posting a low score than another player hitting into the same damned winds??

     

    WTF am I missing here?

     

    FFS WGT...give it a damned trial run...we'd asked for this over a year ago...set up  high wind tourney's where  all players entering know they have the same effing winds as each other...run the same effing tourney for a month, a week, 16.2 effing days...who the eff cares?...

     

    Get some damned data and player input, if getting 90% headwinds and a player scores 3 under and feels good about it, and looses to a 5 under in the same damned conditions, he/she knows what part of their game they have to work on.

     

    What is so effing hard to figure out about this?

     

    Tell ya what WGT...set up a same wind condition 200 or 300 credit RG in high winds at SA or RSG, and I'll play it daily till my credits run dry and not ***/moan or complain about another head wind into a par 5 again...why?...because every one else is hitting into like-same conditions as I am.

     

    Again, what is so difficult to grasp in regards to this concept?

     

    Think about it WGT...you offer no wind tourneys...yes, those who can master the ding have an edge...and those who have mastered putting, have an edge...so when I (we) fall a stroke or two off the pace, we KNOW why...it wasn't because the leader(s) got a decent wind set and allowed them to have the opportunity to have a 12 foot Eagle putt, where another is hitting from 50 yards out in a 1/4ing head wind to make a bird opportunity happen.

     

    And like Forest..."that's all I have to say about that"

    I'll just take these few rants...lol.

    Dude i don't play high wind ready gos anymore. And........ not about to do so again...period.

    Daddy done learned his lesson. I'm into winning credits... not donating them...lol.

    Why are we playing these tourney with random winds??  Very good question.

    Why will WGT not listen to its members??  Another very good question.

    Remember now,,,, we are not customers,,, we are the community. That statement right there.... burns my azz up. Hard to get that out of your head. Know what i mean??

    Very sorry Mike, but i lost all respect for these people. For someone to come here and say that random winds work out in the long run is beyond my comprehension. 

    I could give a rats azz about the long run. I'm looking for fair game play in the game i enter!!! 

    And....... then not say anything other than that. Yeah!

    Poll...... good luck with that!  Shameful.
