  Question...   How come every time i decide to enter a TL ready go its played off the forward tees??

  Why would TL's need to play off forward tees? When i enter a TL only tourney i would think conditions should not be easy.

  I've only entered two TL tourneys,,,, because takes way to long to fill and payout.... then when i finally enter one.....off the kids tees.

  Is WGT trying to make these already fake averages lower??

  Can't find one reason TL's need to be hitting off forward tees.,,,,especially for credits.

  Got good one for you. I decide to enter the TL back nine par 3 tourney. Now then.... i know which club and how much spin to play for just about all the par 3's on that course.

  I get on the tee.... aimed my shot.. and.....smacked that sucker 10 yards over the green in the back trees.

  Then..... i notice i'm hitting off the kids tees and only 120 yards from pin.....nice...lol.

  Quick  WD

  How about listing the tee box used on the tourney page. Don't think will be entering another anytime soon.

  TL's hitting from the kids tees........ comical.

  Yes, I scored -10 for front 9 at Oakmont, but the thing is i know every other sucker will be scoring -10 so you will have full leaderboard of -9 to -10 so instead of a decent payout we all lose $$ or break even.  

  I can understand the need to mix things up, but it should tell you before you pay what tee's everything is. Tour legends should always be brutal, not easy, you can alter the standard ready go's but why let some one with 55 average go to 51 and wgt complain about low scores. HAHAHAHAHHAH

  Yes i agree on that Chris for sure. The fake averages now have got way out of hand.

  Only going to go lower also. But..... then let us play off the forward tees?? Does not make any sense at all. If they want to mix things up... they need to bring in more courses,, not letting TL's hit off forward tees.

  I think the last TL tourney i entered was one a St. Ands. I entered tourney and then found out was playing off the kids tees.

  For sure WGT needs to put that info on the tourney page. Until they do.... i can't see entering anymore TL ready go.

  What enter.... and hope is played off back tees?   Na... i'm good.  ;)

  Edit:  So Chris you are saying that the Tour Legend Oak. front 9 ready go is off forward tees also??   If so..... wow..... no wonder why it takes so long to fill a TL tourney. Shite you would need 9 under easy to win any credits.

  I'm starting to understand why now these tourneys take forever. I thought it was quite strange to be playing off forward tees,, but i have only played in a few TL ready go. The picture is becoming clearer now. Think i'll stick with the regular ready go,, until they change that to forward tees..... then i'm done with ready go...lol.
