Should Legends have a 300 yard driver, and a ball with 5 dots of distance and spin?
I don't think it's necessary.
What's the sense in having tiers if these attributes were for Legends only?
I think the original issue of complaint was why are lower tiered players, playing off shorter tees, being given access to the same equipment?
Why do some Legends want to be equal in driving distance with a Tour pro, or a Master? Its the Legend player that has more skill. This is why the tier was created was it not?
A skill in the main that was hard earned over countless rounds and months of practice. You shouldn't be giving someone else an unfair advantage in competition, on the basis that they have less skill.
So the Legend is equal on the drive, won't the Legend out shoot the other tiered members on the approach? Where's the skill in that?
The skill is that they will generally execute the right shot, with the right amount of spin and be better at taking into account the wind, run of the green etc.
Is it about the Legend being equal in distance and creaming the other non-Legend player? Is that fair?
Even before the changes there were many players who played ready go tournaments that didn't have a hope in hell of even making their original stake back One can only assume they entered in full knowledge of this. Better players will win more credits and I cannot see anything wrong with that. I say that as someone who wins a lot less now than I used to.
Legends are just that, Legends, and should play to their strengths. Members constantly looking for WGT to make the Legend tier easier isn't the answer. The equipment is there for a Legend to be a great player that the Legend already is, IMO.
I agree 100%.
