  Fully agree. Phiber was awarded this posthumously, and I believe that Andyson also merits the honor.

  Further, my CC has a memorial wall for those in the CC who have passed. Sadly, we just added another name.

  Given that actual criteria has never been determined (by invite only?), I recommend wgt use this "Tour Champion" tier as a de facto memorial wall. To honor those members who have made a significant impact on the wgt community.

  Cannot agree more with this.  Absolutely AYE.  A number of others need to be there also, but not the time for names

  es,     

  Yes, by all means.

  Appearently I have not been trolling the forums as I shudd.  I have not read that Andyson is no longer with us.  Only that inquires were being made.

  He was a bright glowing light in the darkest days of wgt.  I know he is at peace.  MY NICKLE.

  Eric, a post from someone in his country club said he had a massive heart attack and passed on July 4th. Prayers for his family.

  Oh hell, I had missed that very sad piece of news, that's genuinely upsetting.

  To the question at hand, aye.

  Ironic you say that because, of all the players I have come to meet over the years, Andyson was the most legitimate TL I know in the end. He made it the way the game was designed, letting his natural ability reward him. When he made TL he personified what it takes to make the grade when all you do is exert yourself. He was genuine. I salute him for that.

  I oftentimes busted on him for his lagging behind-he made Legend before me-but he was insistent. He played his game and stood fast. At 60.06 he was a sconce away from Champion. He was in no rush, he let the game dictate it. 

  My favorite memory of Andyson was a discussion we had after he qualified for the VUSO last year at CBay. I congratulated him and in relating the final holes he mentioned all his calculations and then added a "VEM factor." A VEM factor?? Man, I was all over him for that and that's when I realized how he played-he didn't miss a trick. He might have outsmarted himself, going that deep, but that was Andyson.

  Oh, I'm going to miss those discussions.  :(
