Once in a while a tournament which features 2 or 4 different courses.
agree with your #2 and #3!
#1 - would be cool from time to time too
#4 can't even watch streaming on my sad conns, but then again my game too sad to get close top 300 too!

I agree with most of it but it would be very difficult to maintain this if you add this to the things they already have to consider number 1 I actually disagree with whats the difference in a month or 6 days 6 days is more than enough time for course mapping just saying MVS, I completely disagree with your lack of punctuation.
All joking aside, to piggy back on #4, I think it would be cool if TGCT could somehow generate tournament pairings (3somes or 4somes) and that could be the only ghosts you could use (or somehow play live together but that is a tough one I know). I love the idea of streaming for entertainment purposes. Tournament grouping plus live streaming and you would have the making of a "live" tour event. TGCT TV
let me know how you suggest to enforce this I am talking about ghosts in case you meant something else

1/ Agree - but don't think it would make too much difference. If someone wants to play 20 practice rounds before a tournament, they still would whether they have 5 days or 5 weeks. And btw i don't think playing 20 practice rounds particularly helps you come tournament time.
2/ Agree. Although i have no problem with using one/two turn based ghosts as this just mirrors what happens in real life. If HB made Ghosts/No Ghosts an option that would be a start.
3/ Agree
4/ 100% disagree. It should not be assumed that everyone near the top could be cheating. Some people really are ridiculously paranoid about this kind of thing.

Would u agree with 1,2 & 4 Bob? #1 I don't care either way. Problem is that on pga i can guess 1 out of 4 already. It would be more effective on the lower tours, but for me i rarely practice more than a couple times. Have been practicing a lot more lately though. Have gone in events with zero practice (still do on tst) and done well. Practicing for some is part of the fun. #2 Not going there on this one. Its been debated before. #4 Dont quite understand the why. Everyone in the top 20 is better than myself, so I dont need any confirmation. #2- Do u not want to say if u agree or disagree? #4 Its not confirm if someones better than u or me or whoever...its just for transparency and entertainment. It wud be good exposure for tgctours and may put any doubts ppl may hav about ppl not playing by the rules.

#1. Maybe....but I don't think that makes it a better experience. Why is it a bad thing for people to practice and learn a course? It only counts in the tournament rounds. #2. Nah - I don't think this is much of an advantage. If you play in real life you get the same advantages. The difference with this game is everyone hits the same relative distances. Wouldn't be hard for HB to add a config option to not allow ghosts in a tournament setup, but why? It's way more of an advantage in the match play or turn based when you get to see the club someone uses. #3. 100% agree #4. No way. Not sure how it works on other systems but the XB system is crap. You either have a banner on the bottom blocking view or a reduced screen size. Forcing people to stream is a bad idea.

It wud be naive to think nobody trys to or actively cheats...so i wud see it as something to show how clean we all are and it wud be great entertainment for all of us.

Iv heard many top 50 players over the last few weeks talk about how they use ghosts in tourny to see what shot to hit and where to hit it, ghosts also provide info on numbers to hit which in my opinion is wrong. #4 maybe an option of stream or record and upload to youtube can be provided.

let me know how you suggest to enforce this I am talking about ghosts in case you meant something else I think everyone understands it would have to be an HB fix first, then it could be implemented. A ghost/no ghost option.
I do not agree that ghosts are realistic though. IRL, you can't watch 3 other people tee off first on every hole or zoom in and watch where their balls hit the green and what reaction or roll out they have. The only way ghosts are at all realistic is if turn based is on.

Last time i checked, people are innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. More to the point, let's say someone is cheating, do you think they'd be dumb enough to cheat when they know they are being watched? Shame really, your first 3 suggestions were reasonable but you went one too far

This is just a way a keeping things honest & transparent. Surely thats a good thing? I dont know/think anyone is cheating, this is jus for entertainment and to show transparent tgctours is.

How do ghosts provide numbers? Are you talking about watching a replay vs. just watching the ghost balls? I'd be in favor of HB having an option to not allow replays of shots until all players have hit. I wouldn't want to take that option completely away - if someone gets a hole in one or some other great shot I like to go back and watch it. Sure, maybe upload the video. But making it a requirement still feels wrong. Some people are just private. Some don't even use this forum. Turning top 20 into a voyeur requirement is odd. Plus, plenty of them stream anyways so there are always options to watch.
