Is WGR going to be reset? No, we won't be resetting - we also won't be using it for entry into invite only events until late into the season, if at all. Will use FedEx points for WGC fields and other invite only events. |

Just got the email that the wind meter number will be on? Was this changed from previous settings? I thought it we were supposed to see the wind meter but not the actual number attached to it. Any reasoning behind this?

Any reasoning behind this? That will be the case for the pro tours once the regular season begins. For QSchool, the meter will show the number. It will also be on for all of the CC tours during the season. |

Question for Doyley.
You said in your opening post above that, if you play through Q-School using Pro Clubs you cannot qualify to play in any of the Pro Tours. I'm OK with that, but hypothetically, isn't it possible that you could have a bunch of players that seem to dominate the CC-A Tour week in week out, that won't be promoted because they refuse to play with Master Clubs. If these players were left to continue dominating their flight it would only frustrate the players behind them even more.
Or are you actually saying, that once you play through Q-School with Pro Clubs, any exemption to the Pro Tours doesn't effect your club choice.

What Tees and Course Conditions will be used for each round of Q School?
Will Green/Fairway Firmness and Green Speed change round to round? If so will you be sharing that info prior?
Will schedulers moving forward share whether course conditions are using default or altered conditions?

Tim stated somewhere that players "dominating" CC would be forced to switch and move up - not sure what the mechanism will be but they are aware of the potential problem |

It's not really about that. More about the fact that if someone is dominating, they should move up. The club set they are using isn't really relevant.
Personally I am wishing we could go back in time to a point the club sets didn't exist

Those who are forced to move up will have to ditch the pro clubs or be DQ. Same as last year with World Tour forcing Tour Club use. |

What are the parameters of the in season QS? Still 8 rounds? Same courses? Amount of time to finish?

Will schedulers moving forward share whether course conditions are using default or altered conditions? I asked a similar question in another thread. Here's the response from Doyley: "We won't be announcing conditions prior - just too much to commit to for all tours/flights for an entire season. There is usually a thread on the Challenge Circuit boards detailing which tee block will be used - but think that's the limit of what we'll provide prior to an event. Most pro tours are played from the furthest tee blocks - if that isn't the case we'll make an announcement in the respective tour board." |

I was wondering how you tell what club set people are playing with? Do you have software that tells you directly or is this just ascertained from driving distances etc? Thanks
