I Agree with Smiffy (for once)  that the major tourneys should be different from the rest of our weekly events.. I personally believe that the scout cam being turned off for major events would be the best way to go in terms of making the majors stand out difficulty wise from the rest.probably won't happen though but who knows as the goal posts are moving quite regularly in other areas of tgctours.. Goodluck to everybody in the upcoming wgc event!!Play well n enjoy!!  |

I understand the logic of wanting to make it different, but don't think it can work in reality. If you turn any aids off, immediately anyone with 2 accounts eg xbox and pc has a massive advantage, as they could play their round on xbox and meanwhile play a simultaneous round on the pc and get a scout cam, green grid etc. As a player who only plays on ps4 this would be a massive disadvantage to me. Can't see how you could stop this happening, and some players would definitely exploit it. yeah that's a good point that could definately be exploited. I reckon just the wind if any. Scout cam must stay on for your reasoning and I think grids off is just to much for the population. Tough call. I think that it is made special or great by the level of competition that will be bidding for the title and it's gonna be a tough challenge in itself aswell |

I do think it should be harder as well...I think this tournament is going to turn into an exercise of extreme wind waiting and think that turning the wind meter off is the way to go for these tournaments and maybe even going forward

I havent played with scout came off since the summer so i forget what it actually does. Im assuming it just doesnt let you zoom out to the landing area. I think either way is fine, but there should be a way to make it tougher for the majors and major events sort of like tiger did whenever you played augusta you played without spin and boost during career mode...similar type of thing |

Yes scout cam off stop's you from zooming to your landing area, it does make it harder to approach the pins and I agree that the major's need to be a tougher test of golf, seeing 40-50 under par every week is getting a bit grim.

Thank you to all of you who have posted and participated so far, and voted, it seems that there are arguments for and against which is great, I do believe that the tgct co-ordinators will not change this upcoming WGC settings but maybe they will consider changing things in future WGC's and MAJORS, but then hopefully they may change there mind this week.  Continue to partake, and enjoy the discussion. Thanks. |

As much as I'm a proponent for turning off the wind meter, for this tournament you can't make any changes.
People qualified for it using a certain set of tools.
If you change the tools, then there is no certainty that the players participating are the best using that different toolset.
So you have to keep it the same.

Another thing I'd like to see for the big events but I no it won't happen which is fine because I no they need to cater for everyone is this...a seperate window for each round to be played and posted. It would be good to see first rounds leaders clearly and everyone to play the next rounds at similar times. For example on tgc a tournament becomes open to post round one on Saturday morning with the deadline Sunday midnight, then a new one opens Monday for round 2 with deadline Tuesday midnight. Etc etc I think this would make these events very exciting.

it is still a game though, and those kind of restrictions could make it very difficult for people to fit it into their real lives.
Not to mention more work on the setting up end for administering it.
Do any of us really want the TGCTours guys to have to do more work on the site?

I hate to make the argument I'm about to make... I really, sincerely do.
One of the things that makes this Tour so great so far is the participation numbers. A full field with a cut line makes the tournaments so much more rewarding than only having 40-50 in the field and no cuts. Turning off the aids for a major will almost certainly drive people away from participating. I know this from running my own tour. The numbers dropped when we turned the aids off, and many didn't even come back for the regular tournaments.
People suck, and it's their fault, but they have to participate, so there is no choice but to leave the aids on.

I'm not disputing that participation numbers are a key attribute to the running of the tours, but if u r playing the tours to make the invitation list for WGC and MAJOR tournaments then you should be prepared to play such tournaments with NO SCOUT CAM or NO WIND METER, otherwise why play to get there in the first place?
Yes I realise its invitational but if you don't want to play in it, have a week off then continue on ur tour.
All I want is for these tournaments to be different in one way or another, but hey we don't always get what we want.lol.
Turning off just one aid for these tournaments is surely not going to upset to many players who when the following week return to all aids on in there respected tour.
But I do also understand your opinion and thanks for your input.
