  Probably would be tier locked and likely not $1 entree. I'll think about it and read this thread for more opinions.

  It could only be fun, and I bet we'd see out first sub 50 too.

  Therein lies the motivation for it I would suggest.....

  I mentioned the same thing in the whistler course thread. Would be a lot of fun to move the tees up for this one

  after Cabo at 1k selling like hotcakes, this tourney would do well and would be fun for the masses. 

  Cheers,

  Which masses are you speaking on behalf of here B0gey? The masses who played the Cabo 1000 or the ones that didn't like yourself?

  All you are after is to satisfy an ego, to break 40.  An ego of a 5-year-old.  But why?  You obviously haven't a clue what real golf is.  Do you go onto a real golf course, onto the junior tees (even further forward than ladies tees) and hit every green with the tee shot and hole every first putt?  If that is what you want, go find a baby game like TWO and leave this game to golfers who understand what golf is.  If you want to play off hack tees, go start a new account like the rest do.

  Seriously WGT, you do this and you will make an absolute mockery of a wonderful game  you have created.  Or will you be so money-driven that the thought of an idiotic ready-go tournament like this speaks louder than common sense?  Legends are Legends for a reason, and they have the best clubs for that same reason.  And it's not to go back to hack tees and make this game a farce.

  But it will happen, I know it will.  Why?  Because a Dev has suggested it and I've spoken against it.  Simple as that.

  WOW, are you having a bad day?

  The suggestion was for a RG, not that we should all permanently play from these tees. It would be something different and yes it would be fun. At 100cr, the winner is not going to be "rich" and anyone who happens to not win anything would only have lost 100cr. 

  I also don't understand why you are getting so upset about this, considering you don't play in the RG's.

  I think this was simply a suggestion for something different. So relax.

  It has nothing to do with RG's.  I am trying to protect this game from destruction.  What is so great about breaking 50?  Or in this case 40?  What you are all suggesting is turning it into a farce.  Like I keep saying, if that's what you want go and play TWO and leave this as the greatest and most realistic golf game on the web... although it's probably too late already.

  If you really want to play off Hack tees, go set up a practice game off Hack tees with low winds and VF greens.  Oh no!  What was I thinking!  It wouldn't show up in your stats.  I've never seen so many with such huge egos... to make up for small etc etc... as the saying goes.

  haha Don...all bet's are off on this new suggestion..y'all had your chances at cabo !! :)

  TM tee's and champ green speed then maybe i'l stick to my guns and say 49 won't happen :)

  somewere down the line i would like to see tee's move forward for 1 RG..would need to be strong winds and champ greens tho, just to toughen it up a little !!

  my fav RG's have all been these conditions ...Cabo 1k, St Andy's 1k and RSG 1k...no reason whistler cannot join in

  OMG, you are special.

  I really doubt that the concept had anything to do with breaking 50 or 40. Personally I really doubt that I will break 50, but yes it would be very possible for others. As for stats, I really couldn't care less if it shows up.

  On WGTLS they have weekly tournies where 1 of the rounds are from the red tees and everyone seems to enjoy it once in a while, and yes it's in practice mode. 

  No-one is trying to ruin this game, and I highly doubt that 1 RG like this would do that.

  Personally I think you may just be jealous of the top guys. Why not try to join them at that level like most of are trying to do, as oppose to being so negative about anything they have to say/suggest.
