In looking at some of the WGT tourneys I am having my thoughts solidified concerning Legends who shoot in the mid 20's in a nine hole event, and mid 50's for 18 holes. This is getting a little ridiculous I think. That means they are averaging 2.77 or rounded to 2.8 strokes per hole. I am not sure how this is accomplished but why do the rest of us have to compete with the pinball wizards of computer golf. A person can only play so much feeling like they are defeated before they tee off and eventually I would think they would look elsewhere for their enjoyment, I know I am looking and like some of what I see out there.
Hey! WGT, maybe it's time to divide the troops and create some new ranks. Super Legends or High Stratosphere Legends. Or (insert suggestion here).
I understand the point although I see this as a WGT issue, besides it has been discussed many times already. Why are the legends averages no going up any longer after 400 ranked rounds??, what is the reason for it??, I don't get it, humm, must be something to do with sales or simply "good business".
I said this before, the game is so bloody easy that making a ranked match under 30 in 9 holes or 60 in 18 holes is just easy for the most average legends here. I rather see this particular game so bloody difficult that a 70 or mid 60 is just awesome!!!. New tools (equipment) makes game easier &easier....why??? hell why??. where is the challenge?? being the top money maker?....top earners can not spend their hole amount of earned credits even if the throw a 150 credit ball OB every single shot for the rest of their lives!
Where are we going to end up at this pace....low 40's avg??...what for?, game becomes boring, very, well at least to me. Best part of it...ALTERNATES, there is where I find the only fun left in this game.
Hope I am no offending anyone....just my opinion.
