    included in our profile stats off lesser tees than our respected Tier levels?  If so doesn't this then undermine every Eagle  every Double Eagle and birdie we have achieved since lesser tees where introduced as ranked games in club comps? And doesn't that make a complete mockery of the ave system even more than it was?

    Yes they are and yes it does. This place has gone to the dogs.

    Yes Tess, unfortunately everything you say is correct.

    Cheating from the baby tees has also made the tier system meaningless.

    What annoys me Paul is all them Eagles i have worked hard to get off my respected pegs are now meaningless.They have no worth whatsoever if an Eagle off red tees is registered into the stats.

    What has happened to this place? It used to accolade good players not drown them.

    Allowing scores (and stats) from ANY tees to count toward your average was a HUGE mistake.

    As Paul says, averages, tiers, eagles, double eagles etc. are all meaningless now.

    Ain't that a shame.

    Fortunately, there are still some real measures of a man - like match play records.

    Can I join your CC man?

    Looks like a real hoot.

    If you want.  I'll even make you officer.

    One condition though - your junk has to be huge.  This ain't just a name.  It's a statement.

    I look at this way: birdies and eagles are still a measure of my talent and ability while bogeys or worse are a measure of how much the game still doesn't work properly and has severe glitches. ;-)

    I dont really think so and here is why. Many of the premium weekly multi round tourneys have been played from shorter tees and the same goes for ready-gos and many of the special tourneys. Even some of the Virtual Tour rounds gave been from shorter tees.
