Paul.....you have done a great job setting this event up.....kudos.......just a suggestion......handicaps given to lower tiers will always create controversy.....if one reaches legend status.......one has proven he/she is a good player........and wanting competition against the best of WGT .
Champs giving strokes to legends that drive fairways 90 % and GIR 90 % and one putt over 50 % ......... i ask you sincerely......how fair is that ?

lets get this tier concession thing out of the way please
i have been running this comp for 3 years now and the idea of the comp was always meeting new friends and having a bit of fun along the way.
i wanted all tiers to take part and for the lower tier a chance to take on CHS/TLS,
i remember when i was a legend searching for matchplay games and when i was in a group being kicked out by the first player who was always a champ, that happened a few times along the way.thats why i started the world cup,
in my experience 90% of the time a CH/TL will beat an average legend no problem and you would find that most clubs with a lot of legends in wouldnt want to take part and it would become an elite comp and thats what i didnt want,
so i thought i would give the lower tier a little bit of help and maybe just maybe they may have a chance ,2 holes out of 18 isnt really a lot but it may keep them in the game a little bit longerplus it gives the CHS/TLS a challenge knowing they have to concede holes/shots,
as to the ill call them the experieced legends,they know who they are and there isnt many but some have put their hands up and reliquinshed their shots/holes.
