  There has to be an expansion of some kind because at the moment there is nowhere for TL's to go, and, like me once u reach level 100 ( in a few weeks ) there is nothing to spend ur credits on.

  More tiers, more equipment, as inevitable as night follows day

  With only around 1200 TLs so far, what is the point of a further level.

  I agree about there being nowhere after lvl 100 but then it comes into competitions especially made -  maybe under the Nation - for those.

  To flood it from the front tees is a farce

  Lets face it, I am a nothing special player but can still get round Kiawah in 54 from the front. Where then is the incentive for the really classy players.......

  With the tee option in country club, everybody  on wgt will be tour legend

  That is a worry.  Perhaps wgt could exclude any round score set from tees closer than your allocated tier tee from the player's average.  Keep it in the other stats(ranked rounds etc) but just not the average which is what promotion is based on.

  Probably been said here (or guess more correctly in the new product suggestions) but here goes anyway:

  Inter CC MPs are great fun, but can drag once in a while for several good or bad reasons.

  Based on brackets (loosely) entrants could be listed by a CC owner or appointed officer.  Once all listed, both sides click agree and 7 days ticks down - all done and dusted.

  I will keep playing the St. Andrews front 9 from the easy tees until I am a 61.5 average Tour Master. That should only take a few more days. Then I will switch to the Legend Tees and try to figure out if I really want to become a Legend the easy way before I actually am one with no way back. 

  I still think it is a bad idea to include the rounds from the "wrong" tees into the average calculation. And the averages should be based on par not the number of strokes. Maybe now is the time to fix this "feature" when WGT needs to think about averages and tiers anyway.

  Maybe they should count for the average but with a handicap that cancels the lower score you get from the easy tees.

  In the post "upcoming products release" i see  possibly new tier create in  the next months

  That's a given, next month or months to follow ?

  They ( WGT ) fail to realize . I could have nike irons and Bertha driver RIGHT now !!

  I don't buy either because there maybe only 200 TLs who got my game, on a given day. right NOW !

  Why or what could you put infront of me .( apart from an extra dot on Max that would or could entice me to spend more ??

  So far so good. My first tournament round from the legend tees in St. Andrews ended 3 below par.

  Now I have to create a tournament in Merion and look if I have a chance there with my equipment and the cheap low performance WGT GI2-D balls I prefer for playing.

  Playing tournaments from different tees is definitely fun.
