Join a group at your level

  I would like to add a suggestion to the ongoing list of suggestions.

  I am in the master level and when I click to join a group, I very seldom find other master players in the groups I am searching through. To have a button in the join a group or create a group that allows you to choose the level of the players you are looking for, it would speed up the time it takes to join a group.

  My 2 cents

  I must be confused.  I thought  the play was against the course.  What difference does it make what the other players rankings are?  On the other hand, I've been rejected when trying to join a random group but it happens so fast I'm never sure why.  Perhaps my deodorant???

  I usually play better when I'm matched up against better opponents, and I usually play sloppy when I'm supposed to be the best player in the group. It does matter a lot who you are playing against. Being challenged is good for anyone's play.

  The challenge is the course.

  The challenge often decreases or increases depending on who you're playing with. It's indisputable.

  (In real golf, too. There are many reports on how someone playing on the same flight with Tiger Woods can make them excessively nervous, damp their confidence, etc. etc.)

  Tiger is a poor example.  He is such an outlier that he cannot be compared.   I haven't found anyone elses' play impacting mine to any measurable degree.  I am sure that if I played with Tiger my performance would be severely impacted. Heck, one beer makes it impossible for me to make contact with the ball...:)

  Indisputable is pretty extreme...kind of like claiming fact by majority opinion.:)
