The term --CC vs CC Clash-- is misleading I think. Makes the first time user (Or 2nd time user if you are me) believe that this is a competition between rival clubs based on skill. Skill in a golf game can likely be interpreted without much of a fight as getting the lowest score possible with the best scores being rewarded accordingly. These events do not run on that concept. Scores do not matter at all in these clashes, neither do the points assigned by WGT (nor do they even get added to club score correctly). The only thing that separates the winners from everybody else is the amount of cash spent, and for what? More pointless CC passes, a speed boost or 2 and a $400 golden putter that according to poldimaiers review isn't even any better than the average putter available in the pro shop for 5% of the price? Oh and silly flag/tee markers that nobody looks at or cares about anyways. Now I'm nowhere near a top tier player in WGT but I do enjoy a good competition. If these events ever become a competition about GOLF instead of a wallet throwing contest then I'll be all in but until that happens I'm fairly confident that you have just lost 250 + participants from my club alone for future clashes.
On a side note... Just a quick comparison between clubs and the courses they were given during this clash.
In my club our top scorer played 14+ times at st andrews and over 60+ at bandon. Out of our 8 clashes 6 of them have been bandon dunes with heavy wind.
Compare that to the top scorer on the leading club right now who has 49+ rounds @ St Andy, 20+ @ congressional, 18+ @ Bethpage and 0 @ bandon. The actual numbers are higher but I didn't feel like scrolling and counting the entire score history.
The point is its not even a level playing field. How is anybody supposed to make up points playing on the most difficult course in the game over and over and over again. Logic says its a bit easier to get birdies and eagles (thus more points) on par 4 and par 5 holes but all we get is par 3s with stupid wind every time while the biggest money throwers continue to get the easy lies and increase their lead. Either the "random course" generator is broken or its fixed in advance. I'm not even butthurt about it congrats to all those who win but I hope in the future its more fair and actually about GOLF.
K I'm done ranting now.
