alosso:
Those attempting should be confident that their course suits to our Tour Legends. I.e. there should be tees for advanced Tour Pros available.
No chance for any average muni with men's tees of 6,500 yds.
I agree Paul, only certain courses would qualify. A couple of years ago I spoke the a couple of board members at the club I am a member of in Sydney (currently non-playing as I am in NZ) - they candidly said no to any thoughts of WGT. Partly it is reasonably prestigious and this would demean this and partly due to the scoring mockery it would make.
Just a tad under 6300 metres (6900 yards), par 72 and the back 9 water is in play most holes (front not as much water but still no cakewalk. So theoretically, still tough. However I too would not want to see someone carding scores in the 50s which is what would happen.
I agree Jim, you have to expect to get some slapping when you ask, and the key in a sales role is to ignore those slappins and keep on smillin, the doors will finally open if you are persistent.
BUT as Richard pointed out, this is not up to the punters to do - this is up to Chad and his WGT sales/marketing team.
It is the same as me knocking on the doors of every airline in the world and pleading for them to buy Boeings rather than Airbus - but not having any authority to actually facilitate a sale.
Don't get me wrong, Admin2 seemingly has the right intentions but he clearly has no understanding of how a business runs. We are not in the playground now where peer pressure may influence, a business noes not get "donations" from its customers to stay afloat, and if he had bother to research the forums he would have got answers to the inane questions he has asked.
WGT has its own agenda, whether we like it or not, but by asking leading questions it only takes one person to agree, and this is their mandate to implement that change regardless of other opinions.
Finally Admin2, this is not an attack directly at you, they are my views based not only on past failings of the moderators, but more specifically the failing of the company and the diabolical management style where corporate greed overrides the actual product.
If I have personally insulted you, I apologise, but I stand by the sentiment of what I have said
The moderators and the community ultimately have the same goal - to make the WGT experience better for everyone, but neither party has any real input in where the company is headed. This needs strong management skills, that sadly appears to be missing.
PS Johnny - that was funny - and very persuasive
