Although why they have to saturate it I have no idea. The figure would mean more if it was genuine.
+1 *faints*
YankeeJim: A TL with an average in the 60's is one that doesn't cherry pick rounds to protect an average.
According to you then I come under the 'cherry pickers' crowd. Did you think that during the last alt game we played? I missed one putt and you couldn't wait to dive in with another berating comment.... 3 (or was it 4?) up I believe over 9 was the outcome, yes?
I can assure you I was one of the first to tier up and that was with me, according to the data/spreadsheet experts within my CC at the time, completing somewhere around 90 - 95% of ALL rounds/tournaments (no matter conditions).
No way my average scoring is what WGT displays. I CAN shoot a 56 but I can easily hit a 66 next time I play the exact same tournament.
There's nothing I can do about the way WGT cherry picks the rounds they decide to include when calculating the so called 'average' - wouldn't affect me anyway.
Jees - just look around - some players have egos so big they refuse to allow anything other than crystal/diamond awards to show on their profile pages - way too funny.
I'd love WGT to include EVERY SINGLE HOLE completed in ranked rounds and not just those taken from a round that the player him/herself decide to post or, as suggested previously, do away altogether with the saturation point at the highest tier level.
sarak362336: why people get so hung up about their 'average' amazes me. My true average is around 61 for 18 holes - thats what I would expect to score over 18 holes - My WGT average is now in the mid 57s simply because I have played and posted a lot of rounds.
Similar here. My average is defo more quantity rather than quality.
I used to keep a check up till a few years ago. Here's a sample of what it looked like at the time below;
(Click for full sized version)
My 'true..ish' average is shown as almost 2 strokes worse than what WGT opt to take into consideration.
Nowadays I'd say I'm nearer 4/5 strokes away from what's shown at present, maybe more.
Cherry picking works both ways btw - sandbaggers know that only too well.
