  It would be great for WGT to introduce a handicapp system in the tournaments to allow for more competition between other players in stroke play and allow people that struggle in tournments to have a chance and to compete with the better plyers. I know some people consistently get -5 in most games and others pars or over and by introducing a handicapp it gets more competition and starts to make people finish their round instead of quitting when they do a bad shot

  It would also amplify the sandbagging that is already going on here.....

  I'm a master, what would prevent me from turning in round after round of terrible scores bumping my average up to the max 150?  Tibbets, Lee and Co. would then need to shoot a 40 or better to beat me in a tourney, which is impossible.  How is that fair?

  If you want to be the best, beat the best.  The guys winning all of the prizes and credits are the best players plain and simple.  If you want to win something, improve, don't assume that WGT should give you an advantage in order to compete with the best.
