Ready Go Variety

  Is there a reason we play the same ready gos over and over and over?  I'm a tour pro and I have been playing Front 9 Oakmont heavy winds and Back 9 BP light winds in a continuous loop for weeks.  I am having serious Oakmont fatigue.  Im assuming its a month to month thing.

  I would really like some variety.

  You can enter the open tier ready go's, but as of now there are only 2 or 3 tier specific ready go's available at any time, and the conditions do change, there just isn't a set schedule for it. But there is a F9, B9, and F18 RG for each course, so plenty of variety.

  I apologize, I know this has nothing to do with your question.  I didn't know how else to ask a question, and "reply" was the only thing I could find.  

  With that said, can anyone please explain to me the "Your country of origin does not allow you to play in this tournament" or something close to those lines?  I haven't been able to find anything about it, and really want to know.  

  Again, sorry to jack your thread, but if anyone could answer that would be great.

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  this is likely has to do with states that banned online gaming for credits. Check faq on the right side for the list of them.

  Are you talking about tier rg's? If so, they will be swapped every one in a while. We tried having more than 1 but they would take forever to close, so this seems to be the best idea for now

  Thank you for answering my question.  I didn't even think of that being the case... and that SUCKS!

  Yep.  I'm talking about tier.  I'm not really saying to have a bunch of them open.  Im a tour pro level and a new one closes on average at least once a day and it's usually closer to 2 a day.  The problem is it's the exact same 2 over and over and over again for weeks now.  I was just wondering if there was a timeframe to switch or if something could be written in that instead of A,B,A,B,A,B,A,B,A,B  maybe you could have A,B,A,B,C,D,C,D or something.  I have literally played the same 9 holes at BP and Oakmont probably 10 times in a row.  I can't concentrate on them anymore.  I don't want 8 tournaments open at once.  I just want a wider rotation before I lose my mind.

  We usually switch them every 4-6 weeks I imagine. I do not control it but once in a while propose winds. I do not now when it happens next.

  Sorry

  Its a bit annoying when you are waiting to enter a comp - and I admit that I've played mostly St Andrews, then some Kiawah, and I'm now moving onto Oakmont, but couldn't there always be a front nine, back nine and 18 hole comp for each course open?

  I would just be fine even if there was something like different wind or different greens.  I dont care if it's on tournament greens or fast or regular or whatever.  It just gets frustrating that not only are you playing the same 2 9 hole tourneys on an endless loop but the conditions are exactly the same.

   

  I don't know what the coding concerns are but I would hope it wouldnt be too much trouble just to manipulate some variable

   

  Just my 2 cents.
