  Handicapped tournaments are the domain of Country Clubs.

  Try Un-handicapping your game.  Practice. Practice. Practice.

  To a degree, I do understand what sirslee is saying. When your average player reaches Legend status, it doesn't take much effort to research and realize that 90% of players in these higher tiers have no chance in "paid" tournaments to win or much less break even. Kinda makes you feel like your just contributing to the purse for the eventual winners. The upper 5-10% win these Tournaments regularly. So, in a way, these Tournaments are geared for the dominant players. I'm happy for those players but it does leave most of the rest of us out of the loop. Basically, we have very little opportunity to win credits of any kind. I'm not saying I could never win any credits in Tournaments, because I have, but I contributed at least 5x's more credits to the purse than I ever won.

  So - do you think that upper 5-10% was born there and never changes?  Keep playing and practicing and take advantage of all the free tournaments along the way!

  No Larry. Please don't take this the wrong way, I even mentioned I agreed with the Original poster "to a degree". I realize there is some rotation in the winners list and some of us get really lucky and finish in the credits that normally don't. But, I do check "closed" Legend and higher Tournament results often and a "lot" of the same names frequently pop up on the top earners list. As mentioned before, good for them, they deserve it. PS/ I join 5 or 10 Free bracket Tournaments every week and my winning % is fairly high but comparing my scores to "paid" brackets would give every one a good laugh! :)

  Sorry - I may have been a bit rude!

  I pretty much confine my playing to CC tournaments - among friends and we have several tiered tournaments going all the time, so that helps!  I play some brackets - I guess I am more geared toward regular stroke play tournaments.  

  And my results in paid tournaments are few and not rewarding!
