Curious why Kenny Woolley is marked as inactive even though he played and finished all of the 5 last events, including a second place on euro tour. Surely should be on the new tour. site bug I thought I accounted for. He's now World Tour and I'm dropped to PGA Tour. Place tin foil hats on now. The other 49 are now shaking in their boots for sure... 🤥 |

I get what ur saying. U can still use ghosts on non tour but when the game is meant to be as leveller playing field as they can make it how is ghosting the leader at the time non advantageous turn order especially i didnt play tgc but heard it was like shooting ducks in a barrell and this game is all about percentages to get as close as you can but you cant tell me if you were on the same line as someone and u watched them lip out u wouldnt adjust or you see someone knock it 15ft past for it to roll bk stiff you wouldnt try the same. It i s an advantage whichever way u look at it. It would mess with my concentration and make me second guess stuff personally but if you want to level the playing field ghosts need to go. Baaaaaa baaaaa baaaaa Sheep golf I don't really want to start a big debate on this but I am going to answer. There are people who have used ghosts and paid a bit too much attention to exactly what they're doing (normally not turn based), but for me it is simply about the competition. I learned when I first got TGC1 not to let a ghost influence my shot choice, that way trouble lied! TGC2 is not nearly as precise so you're very rarely in the exact same place. You can't see what club they use, you can't see how much loft or deloft they use, you can't see their exact foot lie. It's extremely rare to get a putt on the exact same line, and even then it still comes down to pace, there's more than one way to sink a putt. There's nothing a ghost ball can tell you that a scout of the green and surrounding area can't. And anyway, I don't want to be teeing off last, that means I'm losing! I realise I'll never change some people's minds on this, but I really enjoy a good 3 ball in my Tour rounds. I don't bother to invest the time in other events because it just isn't the same. It's not done to gain an advantage, it's purely for the enjoyment. Anyway, welcome to the tours! If you're on Xbox I'll be sure to load your ghost up some time  |

So question again, what are the rules on inactivity? How many tournies in a row must be missed?

Assume a "Did not play" is a strike, and how many strikes for a demotion?

You only get a strike if you hit a ball in the competition if you don’t start it there is no strike for not playing. |

You only get a strike if you hit a ball in the competition if you don’t start it there is no strike for not playing. But there has always been an inactive rule. That is how people got an X by there name and the filters in playoffs would ignore people with that X. I don't how many weeks a person has to be inactive ? |

This won't really work for the new tour though. It used to be 5 weeks without playing to become inactive, and as soon as you played again you were re-activated with your old Tour Card.
That can't apply to Rocher as there are certain requirements you need to meet to be part of it in the first place

Am I still in the Euro Tour? For the past month or so my name hasn't even shown up on the standings. Or maybe I have gotten the big bad boot...lol.  |

Being a member inside the Top25 of the WGR since December 2015 and inside the Top20 since September 2016 without interruption (and still being 19th) and not being inside the new "Elite Tour" now just doesn't feel right. Sorry! I probably wouldn't be competitive long-term and/or will probably move up one day anyway, but for now, it just doesn't feel right to me (even if it wouldn't affect me at all). And while I see the point of giving hot (new) players a chance to move up the ranks more quickly, splitting the field of the new tour into 25 based of WGR and 25 of hot players would still have been fair enough... and would have honored long-term members inside the Top25 of the WGR - although they've never won anything (despite the Ryder Cup) - a bit more. But it is what it is... thanks for giving me a chance to vent my anger a little bit. Good luck to everybody who made it to the new elite tour! Maybe we can conquer again one day... I know you might not like it, but all of that was earned on the old game which we aren't playing any more. While I understand that five weeks is a short time frame on which to base skill, it's what we have. With the promotion/demotion mechanics in place, if you belong in the top 50, you'll get there. If you don't get there, then you don't deserve to be there. This is as close to a full WGR reset as we could have gotten, and it makes sense, considering the wildly different results in terms of who the elite players are between TGC1 and TGC2. For me, I'm dropping down from PGA to Euro, on my way to earning demotions to Web, CC-Pro, and maybe even CC-Am. I earned my PGA card in TGC1 on PC using a mouse. Now I am on PS4 and nothing I've done in the past game reflects my (lack of) skill in TGC2. Doyley strictly said he didn’t want to start over. But that’s basically what has happened. If u were able to be good at this game is 5 weeks. The. U soared to the top. Why not just start over. Oh wait that was shot down prior to release of game |

Apparently I'm a hot player - not sure even my wife agrees with that  Looking forward to adding my normal PC/Euro rivals (Ken, Ray, Jacko et al) as ghosts to my upcoming Rocher rounds... |

Any word on the WGR difference between World Tour and PGA, Doyley ? Edit: Also the European Tour as well...? |

But after the fact of making it to the EGO tour you have to get 5 strikes to be demoted. A DNP won't affect the week to week strikes handed out (it actually can help it a small bit). I don't think that someone who takes the week off should be getting anything against them. A DNF/WD gets a strike, so the inactivity isn't a big issue for me. Perhaps I missed something with this conversation or I'm dense (well I am, but for the sake of this conversation, anyways) and not following. |
