    I think the only way to stop people complaining is to have ALL the Tournaments Tier based... eg; Legends only,  Tour Masters and the rest only. I don't see many pro's and amatuers playing the Ready-Go's so excuse me by saying that. This way, everybody is basically playing against people within there own level of expertise.

     

    don't  know if this would solve the quitting  problem   but it does sound  like it would  encourage  more players to  enter the ready  go tournaments  if they  think  they  might  even have a chance  to win .

    " I still was hitting the line but the ball was doing funny things...lol..."  i thought it was just me    losing my mind  but i guess its happened to other   think i hit the perfect shot  and the ball does   something completely different

    As I said before get back to me when you're hitting from the championship tees.

    The championship tees are not that big of a deal King. The Legend tier members aren't the only ones playing from them.

    -----------------------------------------------

    Please Legends, stop telling the non-Legend tiered members how we don't understand your dilemma. It's getting old. Most members at WGT.com have played the championship tees and are full aware of the length of those tees. 

    Now, if a Legend player is obsessed with meaningless credits and Ready-Go's (most are), I can see where a Legend player would like to have a longer driver. I'll ask the question again. Does a Legend player want to hit driver/wedge on every hole like it was when you were masters?

    Wouldn't the recent change the game has taken on be for naught if a Legend player kept getting a new driver and golf balls to score in the 50's every round? Hell, a majority of Legends are already scoring rounds in the 50's.

    If your in the Legend tier and can't play or score in the game properly, e-mail WGT at members@worldgolftour.com and plead your case to them, and they might remove you from the Legend tier and place you in a lesser tier.

    Been there, done that King. I'm practicing from the championship tees quite often.

    Keep practicing pal, you'll get that 54.  : )

    A Legend I am,,,,But to shoot in the 50's I can not do,, I have been playing allot and only to do my best is 66,,,I was a master and was just into 62 ,,,,and then was made a legend at the hand of WGT.  

     I listen and have spoke up to others and also WGT,,, they have said they will not reverse any of the changes they have made,,that is the shame of it all,,  There are many others like myself who are stuck in the middle of this mess,,only to wonder if things will ever get better..    I could only hope to see this come to be,,but for now we just play the game and watch others,,,as I have seen, I sit and watch the sandbagging by those who I thought to be friends for more than a year,, and now do there sandbagging and think it is justified because of the WGT changes that have been made,,,also I see as they have told me, they are playing under multible accounts and feel it's justified, and say it is a business and WGT will not do a thing to stop it's revenue from flowing in.  Hate to admit it, but it does sound logical. 

     I am a legend in title only,,,,, I play quite a bit,,,but age is a factor for me,,as it does slow reflexes and hand eye coordination some as I can only believe this happens to other.

    There are a group of players who should be legends,,and they are obviously the material that WGT should have made there Legends from,,,Yes they shoot in the 50 and lower 60 61,,,there averages if at all have only changed by one or two strokes in all these changes that have been made.    I would think it is obvious after just over a month, that WGT would see who there true Legends are, as they did know before they made there changes.      But yet I am chastized for speaking my truths as I see and feel there affects, and also see what is going on with others who are now not playing by the rules of WGT or the truth of the game of golf.

     They use us and WGT to justify the wrongs they are doing, as we just sit and watch,,, while they enjoy and tell us to bite the bullet,, or make hay while the sun still shines,,as in suck it up and get used to it...lol       Those are the creations of what WGT has done,,,,these people are no longer on the friends list as they are no where near what I have played this game of Golf to believe it was,  All for one and one only,,sad situation I have come to see and hear.  But as WGT has stated in there letters to me, They will not reverse what they have made there decision.   

     I will play on, not as before when it was fun and we worked to earn our tiers,,, I can only hope for better equipment to be made available,, but still we will all pay the price,,for it is a business and they only look to truly make a profit, and at any expence to those who enjoy this game.   

     Long winded, I can be, and will only speak what I have seen and no is true,,, I have played many rounds with you guys,,who are reading what I have just said,,,shame on you,,,But the truth of it is WGT enjoys it's games, and what it is doing in separating the field of players,,, some of us will always see there reasoning,, and as I see it now,,we are all turning away from it's truth and forgetting where the problem lies.   As eye wash, WGT will do anything they can to not fix what only they can change. But will make us all believe we are only whinning or cry babies in there doings,,and they will have us all fighting amongst our selves as is evident in there forums.   

     Play the game I will,,,but will chose the field I play and speak when I feel it necessary,  I see the sandbagging and cheating that is now worse than ever,,and only to evident.   Yes a sorry situation it is,,, but if all would send there opinions to WGT,, there is always a chance you will not get more than what you have worked for or tried to earn through you own honesty and skills.

    What we have is a large number of people who play the game, and a tiny number of people who don't. The latter control the direction and change that takes place, while the former continue, day after day, with a voice that indicates the things that make them happy and in desire to continue with the venture. But much like current political action, the bigger voice is ignored. The actual direction of WGT is unknown but obviously headed for grim times because no one has bothered to buy earwax remover.

    I have been a member for a while but just recently started playing agin so I am not sure I understand what all the issues are with the changes.  I do notice some odd things from what seem to be well struck balls at times.

    This may be dumb and if it is please say so, but here are my thoughts.

     

    Why not just make the game a pay game.  Like buying a game for an XBOX. If you dont want to pay then you forever remain a hack.  For the others once you buy the game, or once you reach a certain level or tier your clubs automatically upgrade, or you get to pick from the clubs that are available for that level.  Then everyone would have access to the same equipment.  Also if people from different levels play, they would tee off from the tees that match their level.  No hitting from the same tees.

    This coming from someone that has not purchased anything yet.  Also, keep in mind that I have not been around for a while so I don't fully understand what everyone is complaining about.

    It's a great idea, except if you are from those 13 states that don't let u play for"money" online.

    Other than that,great idea.

    I am, with pro equipment, and I enjoy every minute, I am tired of earning thousands of meaningless credits in "Drive and Pitch" contests, I'd rather play a REALISTIC game, and I'll challenge you anytime with your superior equipment from OUR Legend tees and Tournament greens. Just drop me a note, but for God's sake stop whining.
