So we're fast approaching the end of the 1st CC Clash/Event or whatever it's called and i thought i would, as a CC owner give a few views on what i think.
Good points
1. It's a great concept this and something for CC's to compete in has been long overdue.
2. It's certainly got the forum buzzing both in the main forum and in our CC. Even if most of it has been complaints.
3. It gives an opportunity for every club member to contribute points towards their club no matter how good or bad they are and this certainly brings clubs closer together.
Bad points
1. It's all about quantity and not quality. More points are gained from scoring 2 rounds of 35 than 1 round 27.
2. It gives more chance to those who have the most active members and not much chance to those clubs who have fewer members.
3. For those clubs that can't possibly compete for the top spot there is very little incentive for them to play at all. Speed boosts are worthless in my opinion.
4. Some have reported a few bugs but personally and also in my club we have not experienced any problems with bugs but if they are there then obviously they need to be sorted.
Suggestions to make it better
1. Instead of prizes like speed boosts, a better option would be for the clubs to win credits for their "bank" when that feature is finally up and running.
2. Other ways to win points and not just pars, birdies & eagles. Like hole in 1 bonuses, longest putt, longest drive, driving accuracy, green in regulation, sand saves etc.
3. Make the events longer. In 24 hours there's 18 hours where i'm either sleeping or working. In this last event i was only able to play clash 1 & 4.
Thanks for reading and i really hope that everything in this is ironed out and that every club member can enjoy playing & competing for their clubs.
