    I disagree with allowing anyone to start a club clash...  there is no foresight or consideration for other club activities with this option.

    Owners should initiate and accept or decline offers to clash.

     

    also, where on earth do you view current and past clashes for your club, is it only available to view when there is an active club clash?

    Why doesn't WGT get together with a few long time CC owners and work out a better concept? Putters, passes and speed boosts are very poor prizes and the timing and length of these clashes could be much improved. A way to help smaller clubs to be competitive is also a must.

    Sounds good to me, we have been begging for these options for a long time.. we have a good understanding of what we need.

    A question I've asked myself. It seems crazy that as soon as the Event finishes you cannot review the Clashes.

    I don't see how they can address this "challenge" to make it fairer for smaller clubs without wholesale changes, and any I can think of would = less $s potential in the short term.

    Changes though presuppose it is a competition when it is only a ball and pass buying exercise where one person gets a golden putter which is bad for the game anyway.  Proudly the CC I am in never went for it, and came 1023rd I think.  Genuinely astonishes me why any one went for it, and amazes me any one below ANCC played it out after 5 minutes chasing what? Gnomes? Like for real. Certainly there was no achievement whatsoever in placing as there was no competition worth speaking of.

    If WGT want a properly run competition model they need look no farther than the Forum Grand Prix, but that would involve effort and skill, not some wishful smash and grab debacle every whatever.  Astonishing as I may think the silliness, ahem Event, is some did go for it, and whether that's enough to make it worthwhile only WGT have the numbers.  

    If everyone did the same as Bridge it would force a change very quickly, but they never.....................

    One last go though as I think I really may be on something:

    Why not have a Golden Putter Gnome Auction once a month?

    Same level of golf skill, and same event actually apart from be a bit quicker and a more more accurate event title, and those that give a crap still get a WGT Gnome / chance of the Gold Putter.

    OK I would prefer the putter out of the game, but trying to be pragmatic:)

    Benefits would be huge:  

    WGT would have time to change a huge habit, and do something useful towards a real competition (s).  Also of course anyone that wants to play can still play whatever they want as much as they want in the mean time.

    Win win !!

    With apologies to Shoe because I know he has no choice but to toe the company line, the funniest comment so far is that this debacle took months of preparation by engineers, programmers, etc.

    It's the equivalent of an engineer saying, "Sure, the bridge collapsed, but you've got to appreciate it took a long time for us to build it..."
