  Being able to create Random 5 or Random 7 stroke play tournaments would be a nice feature for Country Club events.

  Lots of potential there methinks.

  Thats a pretty good idea

  But an ever better idea is add TPC Sawgrass, Muirfield Village, and Shinnecock Hills

  Nice idea.  

  Would need to be the same random 5 or 7 for all of course, but why not.  Even a random 3 for a lark ?

  Might even help a few more keep up their CDP...win for all assuming it does not come with bugs (:

  not a good idea in my opinion. Random  5 and 7 would have to be practice mode and thst would open up lots of possibilities for cheating by using mulligans.

  Why would it have to be practice mode?

  That's what I was just thinking. How could you play  a CC tourney in practice mode?.

  Make it so it's a full RR? That way we could have averages of say 7.00 to maybe be in the top 10 at WGT :)

  Seriously though it is just an idea, and I took it as assuming neither practice nor RR.  No big one and doubt it will happen :)

  I think it could be fun.  Let them count in stats but obviously not toward averages.

   

  Another cool thing that I think should be in CC tourney's.   Default tees/green speeds based on your tier.

  Explanation: Let's say you have a club with all different tiers, not just Legend+, but this would even help with clubs with only legend and above tiers.   

  When you set up a tournament, each tier should be able to play under their normal tee boxes and green speed conditions.  As far as I know, it's only based on how the tourney is set up.

  Because the random 1,3,5 and random 7 holes are only available in practice mode at this time.

  But the biggest draw back for this to be used in CC tourneys that I just thought about is that the holes are random.So 1 player could get all par 3's one player could get all easy par 5's and one player could get all hard par 4's.

  What if the random holes where chosen at the time of creating the tourney, that way all club members would play the same holes?
