I'm a bit sorry cause i have no idea if this thing was already ever discussed elsewhere,but i was thinking that,considering how much courses we have (and the fact that they are growing up at the rythm of 1/3 per day),it would be too stupid or complicated to use (for example) 2 courses for cc-a/b,2 for c/d 2 for e/f and 2 for g/z (or something like this,i mean) for every tournament?
I had this idea cause i noticed that a lot of courses (and just in this days i played some of them and i think there are really good courses,lying as if they were simply forgotten) that we have in the tgct list,they have so few plays that still they have not even an hcp rating...but the worst part is that some of them have less then 50/100 plays. Some of them can't reach 30/40 plays.
And i'm not talking about a little number of courses. If you need it,in a couple of days i could tell you the exact number,but for what i see, i can suppose that we're talking about more or less at least 300/350 courses. That means 1/3 of the listed courses we have. Of even more,i fear.
It's a bit a shame. I know that is in the human nature to always look to the newest things,i'm the first,but it wouldn't be beautiful to give some prize to all of the guys that spended their times for our amusement?
It could be possible to do this? Or that's some reason that simply i still ignore to keep things as they're now?

Well that is a bare minimum of an extra 24 rounds to be played by rangers to try to ensure that there are no lag or pin placement issues. I say bare minimum, because ideally you would want double or triple the amount of plays, plus the tournament schedulers trying many more courses before they get to the point of being checked. Add to that the not inconsiderable volume of work put in by the course reviewers. For most weeks five courses are used for the different flights I would wonder how many really good courses get missed. Solutions are always more welcome than issues. |

honeybadger64 thank you for your answer. I had the doubt that this could be the main reason to don't use every week too much courses. Obviously is a very good reason. Is not a little amount of work and,even if i ignore how many rangers and people are involved into the weekly choice,it's easy to imagine that the work to do is anyway a lot. I have not a solution fo this,but if you're looking for some help, i would be really happy (and proud,at least) to test courses for the community,if we trust in my judgement. To tell you the truth i'm already doing this,cause three days ago i started to check every course in order to collect certain data that i'll put in a list i'm working on. I already found a couple of courses that are broken or bugged (generally speaking,they're almost always pin position issues..or,less often,parts of fairways where the lie works as if you were in rough,with 75/85 % of reachable distance..stuff like this). I don't know how i could help,but is a bit sad to see some good course forgotten. I wish really find a soultion for this.

Some of the courses that miss out on tour spots may get picked by a society to host one of their events. I've had a few of my courses picked by societies which can lead to a lot of plays. I don't know how each society picks the courses they use but this can be another way of getting noticed.

Main issues is that we don't have enough societies to do this - we're maxed out which is why qschool and beginners club tour each share a cc society and don't have their own.

I don't know how each society picks the courses they use but this can be another way of getting noticed. Very good and simple idea! Whit the fact that being still not good enough to compete and so playing only alone and in the tour,i often forget that we have a lot of good societies. In the meantime,if some of you think that can be useful,i csn tell you about some course that i have already see have some issues and in fact is not usable in the tour..or even the name of some course that there was in tgc2 but there is not anymore in tgc2019. Can i even suggest to correct some name that for various reason have a name in game slighty different respect the name reported into the list. And,if do you think is could be useful,i can even suggest some course that seems to be with no evident issues. The list of the courses we have, is a great resource for all of us but for various reasons in some part is not always exact. If you want,i would be happy to help to correct some error i found. |

Sorry I have no say or control over any courses that appear on the list on the TGC Tours website. You would have to get in touch with one of the admins about suggesting amendments. |

Main issues is that we don't have enough societies to do this - we're maxed out which is why qschool and beginners club tour each share a cc society and don't have their own. |

We have special societies - creating more societies is not possible without HB help - and they're quite busy at the moment. Also add to the fact that I don't want to have to manage more in-game season creation, schedule maintenance - etc - we're pretty much maxed out on admin side of things w/ regards to our time invested. |

Uuh..i was absolutely unaware that there is a limit on the number of societies. Well,this is absolutely enough to explain everything. Thanks for the clear answer as always,Doyley. |

I could always help out with a Beginner Club society if it ever came to it.
