  good grief.

  joe does NOT have anything to do with regular ready goes apart from play them occasionally.

  shoe is the one who sets the regular rgs up.

  joe ONLY SETS ul rgs.

  shoe SETS the regular ready goes.

  if anyone has any problem with this - pm shoe or wgt and volunteer to look after the regular ready goes list.

  problem solved.

  leave the ul rgs alone please.

  is that clear enough?!

  This is the whole argument.  AT present the Uneven Lies and Even lies are EVENLY split.  The unevel lies take a week to tuern over once or twice compared to the DAILY even lies.  Why do the popular ready go's have to suffer choice wise for UL ready go's just to sit there IDLELY ??  If you can add a few extra EL ready go's EXCELLENT problem solved you can keep the UL and let them take their week to turn over.  But if WGT only limit ready go's to say 20 a month then isn't it common sense to keep fewer of less popular ready go's to let the popular ones tuern over to generate revenue QUICKER.... IS THIIS CLEAR ENOUGH TOO?

  How can you defend this??  I entered the $2 St Andrews Uneven Lie ready go TWO DAYS AGO.  There's still only 12 players who have entered.  And this is at St Andrews, for $2!!  If this was even lies it would have filled up and turned over about 8 times in same amount..  Why cant you accept that they are DEAD WOOD and why take up space of popular ready go's.  (thats if they are lilimted to a certain amount)  Please dont anser with the fact that they're NOT limited because every month you get last months and this months ready go's becasue they soon get back to say 20 at most.

  DodgyPutter:

  As an advocate of more of what fills quickest are you suggesting four  50c rg's aren't enough?  They are the fastest filling tournaments on the list.

  $2 also fills up pretty quick.  woudln't it be better to set one or 2 x 18 hole rounds at $2 because i think a lot of players leave the 18 hole 50c alone due to ball wastage..LOL

  Yes, please don't answer with facts. They just get in the way of a misconceived rant ;-)

  They are limited only by what WGT decides they want.

  Facts:

  - WGT decided they want 6 uEL and 10 EL

  - Joe decides which UEL we'll have, not how many

  - Shoe (at least that's what others are saying) decides which EL ones we'll have, but not how many

  It's solely WGT's decision (not the mods or players), how many RGs they want. If they wanted 50 EL RGs and 15 UEL, we would've had that many. But they obviously don't want to.

  So if you want to change anything, write them an email, cause you're currently adressing people who have no say on the matter.

  Clear enough this time?

  But a quick look shows that there's 9 UL at moment (didn't see if one or 2 had turned over).

  Its either a mistake or WGT have changed to 50/50

  Throughout this you've shown a reluctance to read: One of many mentions this one from Joe

  "For the very last time, an UEL batch is composed by 6 tournaments that I send every 3 weeks to Shoe (WGT staff). No more, no less. There are currently 8 UEL RG's because 2 of them, BOP4 and Oakmont (the real one, not the 5000cr) belong to the previous batch and are not filled yet. They will definitively disappear when 50 players will have signed up." 

  Do you remember being told the 5,000c one is a mistake by wgt?

  Joe already explained. He usually adds them a later than the even ones, so the old batch can close 1st. He didn't wait this time, so 3 of them are old and are going to close when filled.

  Rg's have been dead for months... no complaints here, they're saving me money.  I'm one of those players who put too much money into this game (mainly playing high end RG's that I'm not good enough to win), and I just got bored with the same old same old.    They used to make it more fun with the settings, but now it's the same tees, the same green speeds,  and the same winds.. week after week, month after month...  and no Cabo or Whistler.  Booooring....  The people running the show either have no imagination or they don't care... this site will be dead before you know it.

  I also noticed they don't give you a thing for the free monthly tourneys anymore... I used to laugh when I would finish in the top 50 and get FIVE credits or something equally useless.  I finished 2nd in the July Kiawah tourney (saved a fortune not playing RG's) and got nothing... guess I shouldn't have mocked WGT for the 5 credit wins...lol
