Jolexi: So why can't you have the R11's if you're prepared to pay for them, just because you're only an amateur?
Wow, see the "tiers and sandbagger" thread.
Wouldn't driving all par 4's and hitting wedges to the par 5's for a second shot from am and pro tees make all the current (well most) tourney's a bit one sided?
Yeah I agree with your point.
But as in real life, just because you have the same equipment as the top players doesn't mean you can use them as well.
So why not make them available but harder to use , and getting progressively easier to use as your tier, and therefore playing skill (theoretically at least), rises.
Make the meter faster, or sweet spot smaller, anything like that.
The reason I suggested it is because I made Master at L42 and the equipment I had were insufficient from those tees. But because of my low level the clubs I needed were still locked. So I had to put up with not being able to reach a lot of long par 4s.
And also, I said that in competition play, everyone plays from the same tee, so it's all level.
