Jimbog1964: Problem for WGT is that L97 is so far away that if that was the first chance you had to really compete it's nuts, and who coming in would bother waiting that long?
Yeah Jim, the jumps from each level are staggering 93+..but I would hate to see them reduced as if members coming through get it any easier then all the hard yards we put in would seem cheapened..literally !
The problem is as I see it is that WGT brought out sooo much great gear for the L15 - 50'rs last year to increase revenue which then made tiering up easier and quicker but also stuck members on the longer tees with inferior equipe compared to there Tier peers and imo, less of a % were sticking around, so...
WGT had to fill in all the gaps for the L60 / 70 TM / Legends otherwise boredom quickly sets in and they leave..which is what you alluded to, if you can't compete it's pointless !
So that we now have this plethora of clubs through every level, as being a L60 something Legend is not the norm but not as incongruous as it would've seemed 14 months ago..( hence a lot of multi accusations ) and now WGT have started the ball rolling it will be impossible to stop.
Jimbog1964: Once those top players have time to get the irons bedded in it will be interesting, but beyond L90 (? at most now) the rest may well be just window dressing.
Interesting maybe ? but I doubt it as the best 30 players on here can beat each other on any given day with R11s, Bladze or Nikes.......And we are now being asked to buy into this club race which as you point out is window dressing.
Jimbog1964: No one genuine shoots low all the time, but the real top players get themselves in the mix more often, and that's all I can strive for. Certainly they understand more putts, and more approaches than I do, and I accept that.
All we can do till is strive..
I accept their better understanding too, but a lot of the TOP players have been here for years !
We just pups and growing into the roll...
Give US another 2 yrs grrrrrr :-))
