  Just played the front 9 of Wolf Creek. Fun course with some interesting options from the tee, especially for those who use the "long" balls, Thanks WGT :)

  First of all, did you get your 300 credits for tiering up Abe...;-) And more importantly, WGT seems to have set the " level" for Tour Champion too low, around the 55 average mark. Should be at a 52 average imo, thoughts on this? Anyway, congratz?

  Oh, is this the announced or unannounced change that Icon mentioned?  I haven't seen and release notes yet.

  Whatever, congratulations on making this milestone.

  Hej Björn,

  yes, I did receive the 300 Cr for tiering up. Still debating how to spend them best ...  :)

  I do agree on the 52 average.  And thanks for the congrats, but ....

  Thanks, a new place to lose balls.. I am so excited. Can't wait to play.

  If you play smart you wont lose any balls. I lost 1 because I was stupid and got greedy.

  I just had a quick look at our new Tour Champions and there's someone on page 1 with a 72 average!

  I wonder what the criteria is.....

  There are 2 of them with a 72 average.  They haven't won large amounts of money either.  A glitch perhaps?

  I lost one on the par 5 12th hole, allowed for wind that didn't actually do anything.  I wonder if the wind effect is reduced by the hillsides on some holes?

  I know if I were ever to play there in real life I'd take a lot of balls along with me, there are some shots that would be very risky indeed.

  That's because his one round after the reset of the avg was a 36 for nine holes.

  I think WGT missed a chance here to create a true elite tier for a small number of players. It doesn't change anything except there are now two tiers (Champion + TL) who will be short on talent and number of players while the Tour Champion tier is simply the old Champion tier with a new label. Basically WGT doubled down on the mistake they made with the ongoing existence of the TL tier which is of no use to anyone. 

  But on the plus side: The new course is great. Fun to play and a unique addition to the existing courses. Thanks!
