-13/-14 to make the cut. Geez. Wouldn't it be great to see enough players to make up 2 divisions? A Pro and an Am perhaps. Apologies to Admin, just thinking aloud. A couple years ago we had secondary events, which basically was an attempt at that, but just to see if the separate leaderboards could work. Eventually, the website dominates, and the database of events overflowed into other seasons that did not have secondary events. www.tgctours.com/Tour/Tournaments/?tourId=5&season=2017 For what it's worth, I've been wanting to have two tours for a while, but this is the first year that the demand is much higher. In the end, all I'd ask is just trust that there is something like that where my ultimate goal is to have two TST tours, but I think it may take a while to sort - especially when control to the website is not directly mine. |

Whether TST would be allowed 2 separate tours is another matter, but 200 participants each week says it should to me. |

Oh I was sure it had been considered, many times I'll bet. Hopefully one day, it would be nice to fight for promotion/fight against demotion rather than just having the cut to focus upon but I appreciate you probably need a few more players to make that a reality for starters without even considering the vagaries of the website! |

MachOne117 looks like we're ace buddies today lol. Mine came on the 7th, but the 4th round was good to us!

The weekend was kind to me! Finished 66/64 with 64 being my best TST round to date. Only 3 bogeys for the week which was the difference between this week and past tourneys. Makes a difference when you limit the rubbish and make some good birdies across 4 rounds.
Pretty happy with my week in Houston and hoping to take this new found confidence to the windy South Carolina Pete Dye classic.

Nice to see a big bump in participation Xbox this season, great leaderboards! Thanks Craig. Looks like only 5 of us made it so I'm pretty chuffed. Let's just say I finished 4th overall! MachOne117 , that sort of finish should see me flying up the rankings right?  |

The only issue I would have with this - for what it's worth - is that the Xbox players on here would probably feel that they don't have a seat at the adult table as it were if there was a master's division again. I know I would at least. Especially having had a few weeks now were we've kind of shown how much better we can compete on these settings on TST (admittedly I prefer playing on master swing myself but undeniably pro gives a much fairer cross-platform picture). That said I totally get that it's all about compromise in these sorts of things and I'll play regardless as you guys know by now. Just a thought. |

I’d personally prefer two divisions at the same difficulty level bringing promotions and demotions into the mix like the Pro/CC tours. |

X box players can pick the TST pro tour to compete. Half way leaderboards of 36 under just doesn't feel sim at all. I am sure there are a lot of TST veterans that miss master difficulty as much as those who prefer pro difficulty. HB have totally improved the near tempo miss punishment but have unfortunately made splash an arcade shot again. Master is easier now and so is Pro also. Anyway just a suggestion from an ex admin. |

But that's also my point that you're basically saying in that scenario there's one tour on which only dualshock users can compete and another for non-dualshock users. Don't get me wrong I may be totally out of sync with the aim of the tours but it seems to be me that's a bit contrary to the aim of cross-platform boards. Just in my opinion at least the current system is much preferable to that (of course some, most, or all might disagree lol) or even the two tier same difficulty bracket system Ben mentioned. Also - and again I might be mistaken - but I don't think the leading scores have been drastically lower or have they? More a case that they're more bunched up throughout the field that pushes the cut line lower. And again the two tier system would be good here for people who want more of a chance to make the cut if they are filtered into the secondary tier. Like I say my worry would be were we ever to go split difficulty tiers that you're basically resigning really good non-dualshock users to a lesser division not based only on skillgap* but also on hardware. Just speaking from the Xbox side I know if I have a mega week I can compete right now (last week i really did have the chance to challenge), I reckon Dansamps even moreso than me and HorusPhoenix certainly as well if he goes low. But bring back master and we'll be back feeding on scraps largely due to controller limitations. Fwiw I always agree with everything you say and were I playing on a different system we'd be bang in line with each other and what we want from the game / tours. Maybe the only difference is I don't think this is a sim - although your USE society is certainly by far the closest to sim-like play - more just a case of shorthand for playing without grids and scout. I mean even on master last season winning scores were routinely in the -40's so I don't see the five or ten shots increase being that huge a problem personally. I just always kind of feel the need to give my perspective as an Xbox player even if I'm a bit of a pain in the process haha One thing's for sure and that's that it's great to see far more of a buzz around TST to the point we can even have these conversations about the possibility of expanding in the future. That can only be a good thing. *And of course I don't mean ONLY hardware differences. Those players are better than the vast majority of us even if we were on the exact same system. But it has been nice lately to at least feel like we have something resembling remotely similar shot outcomes to dualshock users even if it's not entirely a perfect solution. |
