  Thought you might pull something like this. I was warned about it too. You're not available. Been on the WGTLS site every day at 8-9AM and 6-7 PM-no mutt.

  Get this every day.....

  You aren't worth even this much effort just to prove a point.

  Man, I can feel that burn all the way down here in Atlanta..........ROFLMAO!

  This by no means is an advantageous change for the casual player, except for the TM's and Masters.

   

   

   

  Of course steelers you are assuming that only us scummy TM's get an unfair advantage, real or perceived, over legends. Nothing like playing a pro or tour pro at level 80 or above that has all the equipment to whip a TM pink butt teing off from the ladies. No.

  Yet, no TM's throw their toys out of the cot as some legends; we just get on with it.

  You are assuming steelers and assumption is he mother of all mistakes. ;)

  I, personally, can't wait to become a legend - I'd love to. But I guess that unless WGT gifts that tier to me I will never have the pleasure as I have reached my potential as a crappy player. How fair would it be then if I cannot access the enjoyment of spending my money on new gear?

  But why not just bring the Legend tees forward a few yards? Too simple?

  That or getting away from different tees and adopt the handicap system should solve all the diatribe.

  Your a smartass that types to see what u have to say. Play me for credits from my tee's, Mr. MOUTH!!!!

  You're so far off base here it's not funny. D happens to be an extremely classy lady working her way up the right way. Pick on somebody your own size,Gary. You're as obnoxious here as you are on the other site where you live.

  I'll take your butt on from your tees any time and show you how it's done. I'm one of those patiently playing my way to the Legend tier and have all the right (wrong) clubs for my tier but I have no doubt I can spank you. KIa, Legend tees, fastest greens available and high wind. Shut up and go practice.

  And Jim said it all really!

  So you want everyone to win 50% of their matches?   Want to flip a coin with me at 1:1 odds and pay me 10% juice every time?

  Sorry but I don't understand your position on this. I am being honest, not sarcastic. Do I get you think the handicap system is not good?

  Everyone only addresses how long the Legend tees are (which they really aren't), when they should be talking about the real difficulty of the Legend tier, the Legend green speed. This is what really separates the men from the boys so to speak, and will make or break a round in a heart-beat.

  Don't take any putt for granite in the Legend tier, period. You'll get burned every-time on a 3 footer if you do. There's more lip-outs and the ball will roll from one side of the green to the other if the power isn't calculated right.

  For me, hitting an approach shot to 3, 6, 8, or even 10 to 12 feet of the pin isn't the problem, its making them birdie putts that proves to be the most difficult part of the Legend tier, IMO.

  No sarcasm, handicapping a match and taking rake on top of it, nobody would win except WGT.

   

  Handicapping a match with your buddies in real life works fine because nobody is raking the wager.
