    may i suggest or put forward an idea on the possibility of introducing ' A Back To Basics ' ( A-B-T-B ) competition. starter WGT clubs and balls to test skill and ability on an equal level for all tiers to enter. just an idea to debate. another game play idea is a 3 club, 9 or 18 round. this is where you have to use your chosen putter and then select 2 other clubs from your bag, ie, a driver and a 7 iron perhaps. i have to admit the scope is endless, putting competitions or a favourite of mine, the distance challenge. this is where you only play a tee shot, 9 or 18 holes later all tee shots that have landed on the fairway are added up to give you a total drive distance. this distance is then recorded as your score for others to beat. maybe a game to be played by members who have not got time to complete a whole or half round. like i said, just ideas.

    We share similar thoughts on your ABTB idea and have been looking into the possibility of doing that.  That 3-club mode is an interesting idea as well, but that may require a little bit of reworking of the way your inventory is handled.  I'll pass it along for consideration though.

    Thanks for the suggestion. =)

    Great ideas! I think it would be pretty interesting to see how the elite masters shoot with basic clubs. Lets make it happen!

    If you boys want to see how some of the best would do with start clubs .. check out this thread.  Coolswing ran a Starter Club Only tournament in September.   Lots of pages to sift through but ... look who won the Master Tier ... a name you will all recognize.   AvatarLee.   Suffice it to say ... i think the "elite" will kick my butt (most of yours too)  :)
