  It may be a former Facebook player that wanted to change to the real WGT - WGT moves some things over to a real account but stats are not - presumably they belong to Facebook?

  Thanks, I wondered about that and never thought of asking, because I to have seen players with seemingly little experience become legends. Here's one. Do all clubs play cheasy tournaments to get to legend or is it just mine. Also how does a player have over 9,000 rounds in just two years, I figure thee can't be too many bathroom breaks.

  Many clubs allow its members to set up tournaments how ever they wish to play .So its not just your club as mine does it too . Everyone wants to play off of the baby tees in my club as well . Other than my required weekly tourney its sandbox golf . The shock will be all theirs though once they get to the parking lot . As for the 9000 rounds they must be playing everything under the sun .

  I know of one CC which allows these " joke " tourneys to be set and then a legend will play it multiple times just to become T/L !! Now that just demeans the whole point of tiers, I personally would like to get to T/L one day, but not by playing joke tourneys. I want to be able to hold my head up and say I earned the promotion by playing proper tourneys.

  What does it matter how one reaches a goal???? This is a game not real life golf. We play this game to have fun,which wgt has steadfast been hell bent on stopping lol. if you play them in a  for credit match or skins you will beat them, as you have played your way through, if you dont play for credits, then it doesnt hurt nor harm you in any way. Just keep plugging away and remember HAVE FUN. no matter haow hard wgt makes that lol

  I turned legend with 6 ranked rounds. I only really play matchplay challenges and wgt saw fit to drop my average and tier me up as i racked up the wins.  

  An intense 6day introduction to WGT, saw me jump to Legend and miss out on the short tee's! Not my intention and looking back it would have been nice to stay a lower tier for longer.

  500 ranked rounds for Tour Legend is brutal. I can only stomach a couple a day before I must insist on some competition from another player.

  oh well, Legend forever, is fine with me.

  Before becoming T Legend I also avoided these 'red tees' comps as it falsifies ur ability. After all the years of effort, I wasn't gonna have my 'achievement' cheapened in such a way.

  Now I can enjoy them for the fun they are.

  The worst thing that they ever did was allow front tee tournys in country clubs. You only get better at this game if you extend yourself. One or two for variety is ok but any more is an embarrassment.
