shovlovin: Well WGT have certainly laid their stall out, 30mph cross winds means more ball hits and Out Of Bounds, sad and very transparent guys.
I have found that we have less people playing as the clashes get more difficult. I also note that apart from the top few clubs that scoring is well down.
With a lower score in the last clash than ever before we achieved our best equal position and 5000 of the points were bonus points.
To me that seems to say that less people are playing therefore WGT we are not using up your balls, so what will you do, well most likely you believe that making it harder will use up more ball, I can assure you it wont, it will mean less pepole will play
Just a quick question does anybody have a list of the golf clubs that WGT have used for the clashes over the past few months.
I totally agree. I would have thought that since WGT is a business and wants to make money, that they would have easily figured out what 99% of the players here already know.....
1) Only about 1 in 10,000 players actually like to play in hurricane conditions with 30 mph winds (and that is probably being generous). Less than 50% of players on here like playing with moderate 15-20 mph winds. Combine that with championship greens and you will lose even more participation. Some players just moved up in tiers recently and don't want their scoring average to go sky high. Most of us that the scoring average concern doesn't apply to right now simply don't have any fun playing with those conditions. And that is especially true when one is speed playing (which many do in a Clash).
2) I rarely played in Clashes in my previous CC, because we were a small CC and nobody cared about it (this wasn't one of our values or distinctions). When I joined The Georgian in January, it was obvious that their dominance in xp and Clashes was a big value for them. And so I got involved in both. But has WGT noticed the crazy drop off in participation when they set up those awful playing conditions for ALL CC's? No, obviously not, because we have had three weeks in a row with the worst of conditions. Look at the total numbers and involvement, WGT. Please.
3) In my 10 Clashes with The Georgian (during which I have personally gotten more than 85,000 points without superpasses), there has been NOT ONE Clash with low wind! Duh! Doesn't WGT know that the vast majority of people on this site prefer that? And especially when they are playing a bunch of hours in a row and prefer something a little more mindless? If you want to mix it up, why don't you ever have Clashes with low winds and fast greens, for example?
4) Finally, it's ridiculous that the course selection remains random. Why do we have to play the same 9 holes again after 4 or 8 hours on the same course? I've played some Clashes this year where we got the same course 5 out of 6 individual Clashes. Who in the world wants to do that? Can't WGT set it up so that Clashes 1-11 over the two day period were all set up on 11 different 9 hole venues? And that way, they don't have CC's complaining that they got a much less favorable draw of venues than another CC.
Hoping that someone at WGT reads this and understands,
