few options,
1: massive overhaul of the clubs, wgt can nerf all the clubs which would mean people would all be a few shots worse off. I have to disagree with the post that said give a top player starter clubs and they will still score like they do. They would score well but there is no way they could go super low like they do now. ball just dont stop or have the distance. play a round with starter balls, you be lucky to go round 9 in more than 3/4 under. For me main issue has always been fairways hit percentage is to high, 90+% is crazy, they tried to compromise this by machining bunkers stupid to get out off or same with brush etc but that just punishes the players who are not above 90% accuracy. Drivers should have hardly any meter speed on them, there is no advantage playing a 3 wood on this game off the tee, unless its like a dogleg and you run out off room. Nerf the drivers and you might see more people having to think about club selection off the tee instead of just reach for the big dog and rip it.
2: sort the tiers out. Tour champion was made....... made no difference. We all know there is going to be the top end players, having them be able to compete in everything with everyone else is why people get annoyed. Having no chance of winning puts people off. There needs to be more tier specific stuff going on, better control over the people in these tiers. I have seen the same people win over and over each month at say legend yet they still stay there till the reach the amount of rounds played etc. thats wrong, if someone is destroying a tier they should move up early if needs be. For these people that are winning the big credit events for their tiers its not right, i do question their ability to somehow always seem to be able to pull it out the bag or not play for a week and come back and shoot the perfect round, again something wgt should look into more. Not hard to see that if someone is just playing the credit to enter tier specific monthly yet still scoring brilliant something isn't right. I have seen someone do that, no way someone could be that good playing just that little yet nothing is done and it just screws over the other genuine players.
many ideas have been discussed like a separate tour for the top end players but as that involves time and effort wgt wont do it, more than happy enough for them to carry on winning all the credits and forcing others to buy them.
