  What do these numbers have in common ? (6,4,39)---answer --The number of rounds either in the 50's or the 20's in unlimited tournaments currently being played..(legends)

  What this tells me is that low scores are a result of a combination of experience and talent.  It is natural to expect low scores when we only have 4 courses to play and unlimited chances to score low. Some of the better Legends have the talent and experience to have these courses clocked.

  If what people desire is more realistic scores then simply add more single play tournaments. The equipment is available to virtually any player when they reach the required level. Not many people can shot in the 50's and 20's regularly in single plays regardless of their equipment.

  Experience and repetition not Callaways..

  Sounds like you're really whining cause it improves their game also.

  If it improves theirs with your vast experience you should be crushing them. are you?

  "Some" Legends are whining.  Not all.  Crushing them... Absolutely!!! 

   Conversely, you're still a daft festering rectal pustule with no experience.  It's best if you go back to your children's tees until you gained measurably more experience.

  I do not think they are ruining the game, however I believe WGT made the availability level to low, any tier below legend does not require balls of this caliber to score well IMO.

  Spoken by another prima donna...or a legend in his own mind. Take your pick.

  Well said Rusty.

  Driving's for show....putting's for dough.

  It wouldn't matter if WGT issued a ball that went 600 yrds IF the person's short game and putting ability were poor.

  They have made playing the game more fun and challenging for me as they fly a lot higher therefore are affected by the wind more. More attention needs to be put into how much backspin is put on the ball and avoiding clicking the side of the bell that the wind is blowing, especially from the legend tees and where the tee shots from the longer tees are leaving us. But I can't speak for other tiers. To have made a 11 foot back down the hill putt for birdie on #5 BPB at the right pin placement speaks wonders. Once I luckily bounced through the rough and got a greeny there at the left pin but missed the four footer lol. But to come closer to what you could accomplish with perfect shot making in real life can't be ruining the game. Also when shooting  a really good round it only drops your score .02 It's a continuous tweaking thing as Avatar Lee mentioned and this was a response to the harder to hold tournament greens, legend tees as well as the many players who felt the level they were boosted unfairly to in tiers to put them on tees too far from the hole to compete and have fun.
