Been reading the comments on the challenge circuit in game boards. And many are saying that pro tgc players should only stick to their appropriate tours. Which I somewhat agree with. This weeks lowest golfer is at -85. And supposedly a top platinum player. I would say out of respect. They need to quit tying up the leaderboards with their lower scores. It’s actually frustrating seeing players -21 to -22 round when you play the game. Yes .. we should only focus on the leaderboards of our groups here. But come on .. go play in your correct groupings . It’s really aggravating many

Many of us play in competitions that use the CC society as their rounds. We can’t stop people from playing any society.

I find it helpful on the XBox side. Every time I'm going "oh woe is me" about the controller or connection, I get reminded that there are XBox players getting it done and going really low on CC.
As I've improved my game over time, it makes me feel pretty good that I'm getting closer to that crew. Those low scores don't bother me a bit.

You said it yourself, only taking notice of the leaderboard in your own tour/tier.
Further to that, the in game leaderboard for CC covers all the tiers from A to L or whatever it goes down to. Naturally the players in the higher tiers are gonna have lower scores so even without pro tour players playing it, you'll still have the same issue if you're in the lower tiers.

Yea, I believe there's a Pro player society that uses the CC events. It's not as bad on Xbox, as there's less Pro players , but I imagine the CC leaderboard on PS is a lot worse. Personally, I think it's unfortunate that Pro players feel the need to use the CC event for their society, but it is what it is. Considering all the CC tiers are lumped together on 1 leaderboard anyway, what's a few more ridiculous scores to look at? And keep in mind, CC players are allowed to "join" the Pro societies - Kinectic, Elite, Platinum, and TST (gridless pro society) - and play alongside the pro players. You can play anywhere from 1 hole to 4 rds. And just come and go as you please. And consider joining an alternative society (entire thread dedicated to them). Lots of good ones out there that may be a better fit than being relegated to CC purgatory.

Yeah! Maybe there should be a society for every level of CC. A CC-L society, a CC-G society, all the way up to CC-A. This way no one will get their feelings hurt. Because c'mon man....you cant expect it to be o.k. for a CC-F guy to have to look at their leaderboard and see a CC-A guy on there. How unfair is that!?

Personally don't see the issue, everyone knows the standard they play at and their scores will reflect that. Get deflated by seeing the low scores, don't look at it!

Just ignore the in-game leaderboard. It is literally not worth spending any time looking at or considering.

Hello. I am the secretariat of Happy Tee Friends, a team competition for players in the Pro Tours at TGCT that is based on the Challenge Circuit and thus probably the main reason for top players to appear on the CC leaderboards ( The Brew Crew and Dirtbags Reboot being other reasons). Please allow me to add some perspective to the debate. HTF has been created in November 2020 as a response to the fact that fun team events had already been in place for the Beer League (The Brew Crew - they moved to the CC as TGCT moved to Pro difficulty) and the Challenge Circuit (Dirtbags Reboot). At the time, we started with 16 players of various skill from the 3 Pro Tours Kinetic, Elite, and Platinum. Now, we have 60 participants including 5 players ranked in the top ten of the WGR. Thus, we have come a long way. When starting HTF, it was clear to me that I didn't have the resources (I only have the game on PC) nor the motivation (schedule weekly tournaments, choose courses, etc.) to create and run a separate society that is available on all 3 platforms. Thus, it appeared natural and uncomplicated to base the competition on one of the existing TGCT societies. In particular, I chose the Challenge Circuit for basically one reason: The CC is neutral ground for all (Pro Tour) participantsApart from that, since I play the game mostly for relaxation, I personally prefer easier courses and conditions that are not tricked up artificially, and I wanted my competition to provide a relieving alternative to the harder courses the Pro Tour players have to deal with each week in their official TGCT tournaments. I hope this provides some clarification. Cheers, Kevin

I can see all the issues people have with the best of the best playing a society event that average joes play. It would be impossible to tell them not to play. But you would think out of common sense they would let others be on the leaderboard that aren’t up to their abilities. Hoping that the next version of this game can really improve on online society play.That is one area of the game that has never really been revamped

Why go through all that work if a simple, streamlined solution is there across all platforms. Not to mention that the in-game leaderboards are meaningless. That is the purpose of this site?

What? No. By this logic you shouldnt agree with CC-A and CC-L players sharing the same leaderboard. Also, the real leaderboard is at tgctours.com. The one on the game literally means nothing.

the real question I dont really see anyone ever answer is why the in-game leaderboard bothers anyone?
people say it's aggravating, or pro players should stick to their spot, or they see why it's an issue, but what's so annoying about seeing those scores? Even if the pro players weren't in, the in-game leaderboard still wouldn't reflect the CC bracket you are in, or include all the players since it's cross platform. The CC-A winner this week probably shoots mid -60s, so I don't think that the idea here would even solve the problem for most who feel this way.
the best I can figure is that people don't like seeing how far they are from the best players, and that could be disheartening or de-motivating especially when the game is frustrating. but I don't know the response is feeling aggravating instead of either motivation (if you care that much) or re-checking goals / expectations (maybe you shouldn't care so much). PGA2K isn't an outlier where the best 1% of players are almost playing a different game at another level, you just can bump into those players and play with their ghosts if you want here instead of just randomly destroyed in a call of duty lobby or whatever analog you'd like.
