I was reading the boards on tgc tours during this weeks event. And people were saying that players from the higher tiers come play in the CC events. Why would they even do that? And it seems like they are always on the top of the leaderboards. Maybe their scores don’t count; However, it is ruining the true feeling your competing against other CC players. I’m well down in the ranks for ever being in the top 100 in an event. But what would this prove to them placing on the top of a tourney for an event that they aren’t even competing in ? It’s almost like they are loathing how much better they are than us. Makes no sense !!! Why are they even playing in our events in the first place ? They are playing because they enjoy playing virtual golf I suppose. Forget the leaderboard that you see in-game. It's not relevant, just disregard it completely. The only leaderboards that mean anything are found at tgctours.com

I’m a CC player myself and I’ve never understood this argument. Pro tour players can play whatever they want as can CC guys. It’s just plain and simple practice for them. The only leaderboard you should care about at all is your particular CC-Tour leaderboard. Even if you somehow restricted playing in those tournaments to registered CC players you’d still have 2 problems. The first being that I don’t think they have the ability to restrict who joins those societies but they certainly don’t have the manpower to enforce. TGCTours is run by I think 3 guys who have little to no influence over HB and 2K and do a pretty damn good job running a tour with thousands of total members. They are granted a limited number of societies within the game and that’s about the extent of their influence over anything. The second problem is that even the in game leaderboards are useless to most CC players unless you’re in CC-A or maybe B as nobody else is going to be competitive at the top anyway. Focus on your own game and trying to improve. There’s nothing stopping anybody from joining a higher tour and playing better courses with a greater challenge either. The point to this whole rant is just have fun and realize that there is only 1 leaderboard that means anything and you will never see it in game no matter what tour you’re on.

I personally think it is annoying as all hell. I would like to see how I truly am ranked with all other challenge tour players. Have no reason why they are even on the challenger tour leaderboards. Almost like “ look how superior I am too you..”. .. bull crap or something. Why can’t we just compete Against our own level of players ? But I guess everyone has to have something in life where one can feel like they are superior at. So if besting people weekly is what makes them sane or manly .. then I guess give them that one little spark on life they never have except for this one little moment
Than the one guy named peanut keeps on antagonizing everyone on the challenge tour chat board. Not enough he out duels everyone.. but the jerk has to downgrade everyone all the time. Wish he would just pack up his sad self and do something constructive in life

Not enough he out duels everyone.. but the jerk has to downgrade everyone all the time. Wish he would just pack up his sad self and do something constructive in life" This post has to be the biggest load of crap I've seen in a while. I would like to see how I truly am ranked with all other challenge tour playersYes, that's why you have your own Challenge tour leaderboard literally on this site. The leaderboard in the event means sh%$. You can also compare your own scores with those from the other tours. So, argument is invalid. Almost like “ look how superior I am too you..”. .. bull crap or something.Ok, first of all. This is a virtual golf game. People use it to pass the time. F people for actually wanting to play the game, eh? So, argument is invalid once again. But I guess everyone has to have something in life where one can feel like they are superior at. So if besting people weekly is what makes them sane or manly .. then I guess give them that one little spark on life they never have except for this one little moment
And once again, those people are probably not even on the same tours as you. Are you even on a tour yourself? If not, why are you complaining about a society which you're not even a part of? Than the one guy named peanut keeps on antagonizing everyone on the challenge tour chat board. Not enough he out duels everyone.. but the jerk has to downgrade everyone all the time. Wish he would just pack up his sad self and do something constructive in life"
I'm not even sure if peskypeanut has a tour card, but from what I've seen he gets way more crap from everyone else than he gives. He streams on Twitch, go there and check him out if you think he's a cheater or whatever. And once again, just to hammer it home: EVENT LEADERBOARD MEANS SQUAT. THE ONLY LEADERBOARD THAT MATTERS IS THE ONE YOU'RE IN ON TGC TOURS.

Wish he would just pack up his sad self and do something constructive in life Now this is an honest post.I can see the side of both of the coin on these comments so far.But this is a truthful one for sure.The true question would be why are they playing on a lower level tour and then proceed and cause conflict on the society chat page?And agree.The peskypeanuts causes and loves conflict with people of abilities lower than his.Than he boasts his social media outlets so others can watch how good he is compared to everyone else.Does sound like some crazed egomaniac for sure.Weird a virtual golf game brings out the crazy in some people. Thanks for the great reply

They are literally not competing on the CC tours so it's a non-issue. Sloaner is #1 in the world and sometimes plays CC rounds for fun. But his scores doesn't register since he's a Plat player and he's not stealing tour cards from anyone. Stop thinking that the leaderboard in the event matters because it doesn't.

I'm Kinetic. Had been CCA/B for a very long time, years. I'm no leader board topper but on rare occasions have done decently. I'm in the Dirtbag league, started with them when I was in CC. When I promoted to Kinetic I offered to step aside from the DB's so a CC player can have my spot. I was told to stay on and they preferred I did. So I play the CC events. I will continue to do so even if I wasn't. I also play Elite and Platinum events. For years it was allowed and even encouraged to play the other societies. I don't do the cc events to show any superiority, there isn't as I'm struggling with this game. I like to play in societies and chase the leader board rather than just play casual rounds against myself. It's the competition that I like, it's what drives me to improve. trying to keep up with the leaders.
The TGCTours societies are set to the settings that I prefer and there are not many that are set to masters and run well so I play them.
Contrary to other feelings I do watch the leader boards. I can understand being frustrated seeing high level players always at the top. On pc there are 2 or 3 who are 20 strokes ahead of everyone, sure that can get annoying but they have a right to play there too as it's allowed.
As for someone antagonizing people in the chat, thats poor form and low class. I wish society admins had the ability to delete users posts.

I’m a CC-F player. And I like to challenge myself with the best on the challenge tour circuit. And see what I have to work on for improvement. When you got Kinetic / Platnum players thrown in the mix that consistently are the top 10 than what is the point ?? I would’ve never known who they were except for one big mouth ( mostly likely some bottom dweller living in the families basement) top level player causing havoc. He will boast and downgrade others on how good he is. I’ve scrolled thru so many pages of the chats and he seems to revel in stirring the pot. Just sounds like a spoiled little brat and really ruins the game when I see his screw ball name at the top each event. He revels on showing his dominance. Get the heck out is what he needs to do

Some people really need to calm down a little. You are way too determined and uptight, it's still a game after all and not like you're competing for high prize money. If players want to practice and play in other societies, so what?! Just look at your own game more instead of being so serious about everything. Jesus Christ.

Get the heck out is what he needs to do Lol 😂. I don’t think I’ve ever boasted about my ability. I’m an average plat player. Post some quotes of me boasting please. If you don’t like people playing in a society start your own.

I'm a CC-D guy myself and I play Platinum every week. Point is, people can play whatever the hell they want since there are options out there. Why does it matter so much if pro tour guys are showing up on the CC in-game leaderboards when it actually matters so very little? Should we now start banning those guys from playing CC events, which would also mean that we CC guys should never get to play pro tour events so we will never see where we're getting at on tougher levels unless we fight our way there? If one side should be allowed while the other is not, that's just wrong in so many levels.
In-game leaderboards like it has been said a thousand times already don't usually mean that much with these events since anyone can play them, they are just like any open society in the game. Compare yourself to your own CC flight or whichever tour you're currently on, or in some cases the special events, because that is what you're truly compared to every week and you see those so easily on the site. If you want, compare to the in-game leaderboard but don't then start complaining about how some top guys shoot -60 and you can't touch that. They have all the right to play CC or any tour event for that matter, much like CC guys have all the right to play those top events since they are open to everybody. Because they are public societies, and I can think of a few very damn good reasons why that is. I've never complained about those guys showing up, but if for some reason I've ever seen a competitive round against those guys, I usually think that's a sign that I've done good! If Platinum players have only shot a round let's say 4 strokes better than me at CC-D, what does that tell you? I personally use those guys that way, I don't shoot to beat those guys but I will compare if I can.
And if someone stirs the pot? Just ignore them and get over it. You're almost none the better while you're complaining about the complainers and those starting stuff. I get that sucks and it is some low form and class to do anything like the things they're doing, but this is exactly what they want. Attention. Until those posts can be removed, best bet is to just not look at it and certainly don't start getting in it yourself. I know I never get involved in any way since those doing that are mentally probably 12 years old, because it isn't worth the time or energy. They're good for a laugh every now and then though.

Lol the things that really bug people. A few more things that I believe have not been mentioned.
1. There are other smaller groups in the community comprised of CC and pro tour players that have there own little societies (see community and society boards). They use the CC society as the rounds for their weekly groups, so those guys are playing them as part of their other friendly side competitions.
2. CC guys play the pro tour societies as well, some because of my point above, some for fun
2. These societies are public so anybody can join and play the events even if they are not registered on the website. Obviously their scores don't show up on any leaderboards on the website, but they do show up in game.
3. The fact that someone now has to stream rounds to justify that they aren't cheating because everyone is accusing him is really a shame, and frankly stupider than this thread. Kudos to him for defending his name and I hope he continues to lap you on the leaderboards, he now has every right to talk as much smack as he wants in your message board.
4. Don't they say in order to be the best, you have to beat the best? Don't like seeing them on the leaderboard, make more birdies and get in front of them so you don't.
5. If you want to see where you are stacking up, go to the website and check out the leader boards of the other CC tours and see where your score would rank. When I was in CCC I would always check the CCA and B leader boards to see where I would be. This way you get what you want only CC players.
6. The fact that some people think we play CC to loathe, stroke our egos, or show we are superior is comical. It's fine if you don't like us playing in the event, but if you make posts on the message boards and threads like this, we do have the right to defend our integrity and reasons for playing.
I personally will play the CC rounds just to break up my Elite Tour rounds because it can get a little boring playing the same course 4 times in a row and the break up is nice, different scenery but still within a competition setting.
Again, the moral of the story is don't pay attention into the in game leaderboard, plus its broken anyway so its not even right.
