YankeeJim:
Why are you just an amateur?
Why, because in my case its fun only. I enjoy the company of the many, many players i have met in match play/alt shot games.
I choose not to enter tourneys, ready-go's, virtual opens, and match play challenges. For me, that is a dull way to interact yet i'm continually chastised by players for those reasons.
Maybe WGT should award the points to my style of playing and promote me to a higher level for my time spent with my game choices
And lastly, I play within all rules set up by the WGT. My equipment choices do reflect what is legal to purchase
