Just to add to what everyone else has said already. I agree It's been pretty bad for months. Come to think of it...pretty much since topgolf bought them out. They must be lowering amount of rgs so more people have to buy credits. They've made it public in various forums they are hurting somewhat financially, I mean topgolf bought them out. Also, If anyone remembers... they lowered the payout in monthly virtual tour by 50%... Wouldn't be surprising in the least if they are pushing them in certain ways to increase profits.
So, this is what I believe is happening. I'd like to see more 200-500 credit rgs. But that's probably where the majority of players were making their profit and wgt was losing profit. 1000+ credit rgs fill up quite slow and are filled with higher tier players with large amounts of credits to begin with. Wgt isn't losing there. Uneven lies is similar, they fill up much slower. Then there are the several 50-100 cr rgs which make up the majority of rg list, with the expense of balls, you pretty much have to place top 3 to make much. They have so many of these out to give the appearence of a big selection but in essense it fixes their profit margin issue. I'm pretty sure current rg list is very purposeful
Maybe add a 500c oakmont and merion 18 hole rg with 14 stimp greens. Mod-high winds. I like Courtneys suggestion of a 1000c st andrews rg... Haven't seen that one in ages.
And then other random 200-400 at rsg, bpb, kiawah, olympic etc, 9 holers and some 18 holer rgs. But I can understand why they went away from these.
I hope they take note of our unhappiness with this. Readygos are a big part of what makes this game fun. Would be nice to see them address the problem. But I can also understand they have to make money or there won't be anymore wgt.
