  I'm a cheap SOB and won't put up more than 100 credits to play, especially when I know that the cheaters will take the lion's share of the payout.

  I like the 50s, some like the 1000s, which ones make more money for WGT?  The 50 credit RGs fill faster, but they get a bigger cut from the higher credit ones.  

  Don't know why they couldn't have some of each if they gave a crap about what players are asking for.

  Ditto on the high winds... especially on SA or RSG... like playing with a ping pong ball... there is no fun in that, even if it's a freebie event... and we all know how much WGT likes to make the freebies high winds and champ greens...

  Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I won't play the high end rg's... I find too many wonky things happen in them, and I'm not that good anyway.  300 credits is my limit.  Would like to see more Cabo/Whistler events tho.

  Would also like to request something from a different tee box than the back tees, just for a change of pace.  Since we're not adding any more stroke play courses  (par 3 doesn't count), it's getting pretty predictable from the same tee boxes week after week after week.  I used to see different events from other tee boxes in years past, but not anymore.

  I dont understand why so many ppl hate high winds...with the equipment most ppl have now its not impossible to reach every par 4 in 2 shots no matter the wind.

  I personally find low winds a snore fest ..its just becomes a game of who can ding the most then. And if you dare par a hole within the 1st 3 or 4 holes then you may forget about winning. Even you birdie all holes in low winds you still aint guaranteed a win.

  High winds in the par 5 course is the only issue I personally have with high's.

  I'd like to see an  Andys, BD's or RSG in high winds for a RG(9 holes), any thing less than mod winds more or less rules out the guys who enter after 30 entrants, as they will prob get beat on a breaker if they put in a faultless round.

  What I hate about high winds is they are almost always in my face. Totally unrealistic & putting them that way in RG's leads to unfairness as someone will always get favorable winds. So it all depends on your luck not skill.

  Regardless, many players have asked for not so many high winds & sure enough wgt gives us more then ever. WGt, when will you ever listen?

  I don't mind high winds but most people don't so it takes a while for the RG's to fill up. It would also be ok if everyone had the same wind. St andys front 9 for example. Head wind on 5 & 9 and my best possible score is 27. Tailwind on those 2 and my best possible score is 25.

  Hi,,

  Where did the Legend RG's go ???    we just got 4 now,  with a total value of 600cr..   

  There were , there were 5 earlier with  total value of 1000cr..  Pinehurst 300cr was the highest value RG now thats gone too..   

  There should be at least 1 RG more than  200cr.. tough conditions..

   

  Also, please make 1 Legend only Uneven lie RG, so that we can at least  try to play them..  the tierless UEL are very tuff, as TL's have mastered it, and we virtually have no chance of posting a top 5

  I find slightly into the wind to be much easier to eagle on St Andrew's #5 because the second shot will hold. Downwind, the best I can do is about 30 feet

  I don't mind high winds but they should be the same for everyone in a particular rg. The high wind par 5's are a crap shoot.

  here's the thing steve - you can choose not to play a low wind round - or in this case, not even give it a 2nd thought since it doesn't exist.

  personally I simply want a choice - and plenty of them - tyvm
