MainzMan:Still, it's a big step in the right direction and I salute WGT for taking it.
Saw your post Mainz, and as it's you took some notice. I even went and played a round to see as you always talk sense.
On this occasion I can't join you with giving them any Kudos though:
1. May win passes. However each round only gives you half a tourney round XP anyway, and past a point more club XPs are pointless anyway.
2. Points per hole does reward skill. As you say though (and I paraphrase) the elephant in the room is that a larger club just needs to throw passes, and so more passes. Of course the smaller club could buy a pass, but the smaller clubs with better players are the ones least likely to care? Whatever it quickly degenerates to a pass buy same as before if you care.
As you say at least limiting the passes would be good, and I would add proper match ups size wise (assuming still an issue) would still be needed. All not happening it seems as fundamentally not the idea (s you pointed out passes wise).
Lipstick on a pig anything they do to this sadly. I just can't see anything worth chasing in any way shape or form - JMO
The turnout looks so pitiful - top 10 with what 5 rounds so far - perhaps they should try listening to skill requests, just to see if a few balls get used ?....Their game and they have the figures, but this end the mind boggles at what they are up to ..
