  All this is going to is create a bunch of Tour Legends and Legends that have no business with that tier. I could see it if were only to be used to "inflate the ego" but it should not be used to lower the average score or to compete in tournaments.

  It's going to be abused. I've seen players play it over and over just to lower their scores. It's like putting a bowl of chocolates in front of a person on a diet, or a bottle of Jack in front of an alcoholic; and telling them "don't touch"  If it's there it will be used, it's WGT's responsibility to see that it's not abused.

  There has been suggestions to add a No Wind option to be used in the CC's to set tournaments. Add the No Wind  and Easy Tees together and tell me that you can make those tournaments competitive.

  I can't possibly see how WGT could reap any benefits from having either of these options available. Again I can see it just for fun, but treat the average scores the same as you do the par 3's and par 5's, and don't allow them in Tournaments. As far as the Stats is concern, who cares, that again is just an ego booster.

  And how does one tiering up too soon, bother or affect you?

  So why are you so worried about the next person ?  If they tier up and cant make the cut , oh well . No ones fault but their own . You come into the forums crying about something that really isnt even important .  Play your game and worry only about your account and dont sweat the small stuff .

  Contact your CC owner or Tourney director and make your case there.

  I find the no wind option tougher than moderate or even heavy. When I have to hit the ding I can't. At least with wind I can manage missing the ding on either side.

   Easy Tees

  Wait, where is this function, anyway?

  Not that I would start using it...      :)

  but it's hard to believe it exists for ranked rounds and/or stats etc.

  I must be living under a rock because I'm not sure what you mean.

  i'm not entirely sure why this bothers you so much, it's not much different to people playing BPF9 over and over to lower their average, if that's what makes them happy so what
