  Hi Everyone,

  We are considering a new game idea and wanted your feedback. The mode involves creating either tournaments or multiplayer games with all parties being forced to use same clubs/balls. Once the tournament or round is over, those clubs will be removed from your inventory. You would not need to buy them, but rather we will auto equip/remove the clubs from your account automatically. You will be able to see what clubs you will be playing with prior to entering a tournament or accepting a game invitation.  The creator of the multiplayer game will be able to decide which clubs will be used from a list of several club options/configurations.

  We are curious to hear from you guys/gals, not only what you think of the idea from the fun point of view but also anything negative that you can foresee.

  Thank you

  Please fix the existing issues and problems before you create more. I can really see this being a nightmare.

  Any new ideas to kick start game would be nice. Same equipment for everyone could be interesting.

  OK, remember you asked.

  As long as not a requirement in credit game, see no problem with it.  Can you imagine requiring clubs that you know well but others do not.  Example, I use RS Irons, Nikes for me would play entirely different.  If I started a game requiring RS Irons, unless they have used before others would be lost for awhile that normally use Nikes.

  As a negative.  You would have to ensure that when removing the clubs we can put out own back in with no problem, such is the current problem after a rental that expires.

  garyk49:

  Agreed. Perhaps the most important club in the bag to know well is the putter. I still use the L77 Method. It is particularly troublesome to get used to, but once I did, like a dream. Yes I've tried the higher level Methods, but keep going back. Anyone using it for the first time would undoubtedly leave a bunch of putts short, until the answer dawns. 

  For that reason, I'd vote for everyone to keep their current putter.
