There has to be a balance here people!!! Just like in life not everything is perfect and the simple fact is this - the more you advance in tiers, the longer it is to get to the green and once there, yep you got it the faster and more squirrel the greens will be.
As for the yardage difference, well! More levels and experience does and should unlock longer and better equipment to a player, as he or she progresses up the ever increasingly difficult curve to the higher levels!
While I'm now at the Tour Legend Level, I too went through this same process you all seem to be so set against, but perhaps in time you will come to see and maybe even agree with the reasons behind this and it's not WGT being money hungry!!! They have always been more then fair with me in the past if I've had a problem, so play the game and have fun! After-all, isn't that what it's all about???
P.S., as for the women's Tee's there is not such thing here, well all play off the same tee's dependent on our Tier ill-respective of sex!!!
