  Just logged in, got a pop up message telling me about these new pin locations

  It seems that higher tiers will get 'harder' locations, lower tiers will get easier locations.

  WHY?

  Who feels its their job to make this game harder for the higher tiers, tougher hole locations, heavy winds in most of the tourneys, longer tees etc?

  What in your infinite wisdom makes you think that on a tough course already it will make it more fun to play with tougher holes - wouldn't it be a better idea to mix it up for all tiers, and hey, maybe try with some lower wind settings also.

  If its a tiered tourament who thinks its ok to stick us with tougher tees, give us the new ones as well so we can play them - its hurting nobody and if its tiered then its the same for everyone

  Quit being the overseer who decides whats fun for us in this game!!

  New pins random from day to day round to round.

  May get 1x new pin 1 round.

  Next time may get 3 or 4 new pins.

  I agree with you ForrestLeigh %100!!! 

  The Greens at Oak are Evil now, why make em tougher for us...hmmmm

  This game is fun when ya shooting the low scores, it's frustrating when you are shooting the high scores all the time.

  I'll say this with the greatest of respect, so no offence to anybody... It won't matter to the really good players of the game how hard the course is, but if the conditions are easier then everybody has a chance.

  Cheers

  I'm not just bitchin about the tough holes, what I am gettin more and more annoyed about is the opinion of WGT that once you achieve Legend Status then they have the right to make it harder and harder to play this game.

  I don't care if all the Legends shoot low in a tiered tourney because of low winds, or easier tees - its Legend V Legend and the best will still win.

  What riles me is that as a Legend I want to play all courses, all  pin locations, all winds, all green speeds, and that rarely happens - if I want to play heavy winds on tournament/championship greens then I have my pick every month, but if I want to broaden my game and play slow greens, low winds etc I don't have that option that I did when I was a lower rated player

  Maybe its one reason some people make more than one account, or sandbag - because they do get the all round experience Legends don't get.
