  Gives us a legend driver, a more stable meter, some clubs and green consistency and of course more courses.......It makes no sense for legends, tour masters, and masters to have the same equipment when they are not playing under the same conditions.  Giving a ball that goes further is just another money making ploy (I'm guessing that the durability is going to be 1 or 1/2 for this ball).  The bottom line is not trying to improve the game it's trying to get more money out of the players.  The reason why they won't fix the ready go's or give the legends a better driver is because now with the correct conditions tour masters, masters, tour pro's and pro's can be more competitive in the ready go's, basically they are trying to get more people to play in the ready go's which would increase their revenue.  Before the update no one other than a master had a chance to win a ready go, now it's wide open which in theory should have more people entering into these.  The more ready go's you play the more balls you'll need, the more money they'll make.  I see no major improvement anything soon.  My interest in playing now is to get to level 99 and see what happens then as we receive no explanation on this.  As a legend I want to know what's the highest level you'll get.  If you get to legend 100 do you become a Super legend, I wonder if they have an even further tee for you to hit from in that case.  Maybe they will call it the Olympic Tee......I guess I'll find out in around 3-4 months what will happen at legend's level 100.

  The logic here is so confusing that I think you are trying to be ironic or silly.  They made it more competitive so everyone has a chance therefore more players participate and this is a BAD thing? Worst yet its just an money making skeem?  Once more, now anyone has a chance to win and this is a BAD thing?  So I must assume your upset because now all those pesky other players have a chance to win money and therefore taking it away from you.  Your reaction in response to this is to imply that WGT is greedy for money, not you of course, but WGT! If your trying to be ironic - its Funny.  If your not - even Funnier!
  
  By the way every single action anyone has EVER taken in business now and in the past is and was for the sole purpose of making money! It is the sigular purpose of all businessess!!! Period!  Being upset or suprised by this is well just ....
  
  Almost $5000 in earnings.... just funny

  It's real funny because it's not real money, but the way I have earned better since the update than I did before the update.  Fair is fair, that's all, of course you're not a legend so you really don't understand therefore I would be wasting my time trying to make you understand.  In anything competitive (even games) the end result should be based on your skills not any unfair advantage that you should receive in order to win.  Maybe we should let Kobe, Labron, Wade....etc shoot into a 12 foot hight basketball becaue they are better than other players in basketball?....anytime play hard have fun and get back to me when you're hitting off the championship tee.

  I was commenting on your logic and how you were connecting things together to conclude that WGT is knowingly screwing the higher base clients in order to make money off of others.  But I would guess you don't own and run your own business,  and by your continued logic since I do it would be a waste of my time to explain to you how ass backwards and foolish to think  that any company would do that.

  Get back to me when you're risking your own money in business.  

  - see how childish that sounds.

  I agree. You may have a very different view when you make it to the legends tier. At that point you'll have spent a lot of time and money to become a better player, only to find that WGT forces you to play the game with an anvil tied around your ankle. And why?  So that others who have spent less time and money, and who aren't half as good as you can have more fun. Perhaps someday, when you’re in that position, you’ll understand the fundamental unfairness that Ironking is trying to point out to you.

  Well I am a legend, became a master with starter clubs, and take a look at the clubs I'm using now, and I can still earn credits, not as much as before, true, but at least I get free balls. What you say is true, but in golf, like horse racing and other sports, the rulers have devised this handicap system. Personally I don't like it, but I accept it, and I don't really mind if in this game some Tour Master, because of the advantage he has over me in distance and equipment, earns credits that I do deserve to win but that I don't really need...Like in real golf, this is challenge against the course and myself, and I care about how many shots I've taken rather than compare my net score with someone's from a different category.

  Thank you for you continued update

  I am really getting sick of poeple writing about how hard the game is since the new structures came in. I'm a Tour Master now and found it really hard to play the game just after the change, not sure why, cause I still was hitting the line but the ball was doing funny things...lol... I'm over that now and have got used to new conditions and I'm flying again., which is great. It's quite easy, you just have to adapt to the current situation. No matter how long it takes, you will get used to it after awhile.

  I like to go in the Ready-G0 Tournaments, I shot 30 on Kiawah last week, which was my best on that course and was jumping up and down...lol. I eventually came 6th place in the tounament, which is great... not complaining... the winner was a Legend who  shot a 27 fantastic score.... So peoples, you still can shoot good scores from any tee. So Please can you all stop bitching about the game and get out there and do something good for a change.

  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.

  I must admit, I do disconnect mid game every now and again... only if I'm +10 going on the 4 tee, but's it's pretty rare though, This is because I don't want my average to go up... sorry for that. But because it's a Puter Game we can do things like that...lol

  So come on Everybody out there in the golf world, Stop bitching about everything and adapt to the changes and move on, like I have.

     No matter what changes they make, its not gonna make alot of difference in the game. Alot has to do with our own computer, they give us a list of what is needed as far as minumum requirements are to play the game. Most of us, including myself dont have a true gaming computer to use, well let me tell you it sure makes a big difference if your playing on a true gaming computer. I played this game on a friends gaming computer, an WOW, what a difference. A smooth meter every shot, no glitches, i probably hit the ding 90-95% of the time. His computer had a liguid cooled processor, 24 mgs of ram, probably the best video card out there on the market. An it sure makes a big difference. But in all fairness, how many of us can afford a 4000 dollar computer?????                    As like the rest of us loyal players with are cheap puters i too have lost my share of balls because of meter issues an it does get very frustrating, so i to have stopped buying credits an do the survey's to get free credits, it takes time but is sure better than wasting money for balls i just lose, but i have found that when the meter seems to be bad, i've gone an cleared flash players memory, signed out an then cleared the cookies also in IE, then signed back in, this seems to help with the meter.  The changes i'd like to see to help us is more backspin, seems like the only time it works is for shots from wedges in the 65-75 yd range or the 85-95 yd range anything else an it just rolls 10-15 yds by, even more sometimes. An they can fix that, they can make it work alot better. Also instead of losing balls in the water, like on st andrews#1, how many golfers would leave the ball in what seems like only 6inches of water there.... not many of us, heck even the pros get them out an use them again, i can see losing the stroke an maybe 10% of its life, but not losing the ball. Even in some of the bushes where you lose a ball you can see the ball on the screen, yet its a lost ball?????, comon thats not a lost ball, lost stroke ok, but not a lost ball. They really need to do some tweaking on this area i think.
