  Custom Courses don't count towards averages -sensibly -because it could be a par-3 custom or whatever.

  Custom rounds do not count on average.  But stats do.  I agree with WGT on this.

  Think about it. Can't trust us to design custom course that fairly reflects average,

  If some player wants to run easy St. A all the time to tier up, so be it.  Don't get custom courses into this.  Have fun.  Everything doesn't have to be for average.

    Okay . Here is all they say . From the FAQ's

  Will scores shot on a Custom Course count towards my average score?

  No, since the par on a custom course can vary, any score shot will not count towards your average score. However, other stats will be saved, such as Hole In Ones, Birdies...etc.

    Which means it will be counted as a ranked round . But not to effect your average .

    Formats like match play and the like that do not record stats like birdies and HIO's are not ranked and will not count as a round .

    If they did not count . They would be worthless and a waste of time . Especially in a CC . 

  So, in essence, you're saying someone

  1 - could tier up to Legend,

  2 - play 1 normal 9-hole RR & shoot a 27 resulting in a 54 avg., and then

  3- they could play 499 Custom Course "RRs" and tier up to Tour Legend?  (These would count as RRs affecting stats but not affect their avg.)
  
  That's ^%&$%^@#*& up to say the least.

  Nope. Concerning average, they count neither in score nor in number, just like the Par3s and Par5s.

  All other stats, yes.

  Mcduff61:

   Maybe someone at WGT could let us know what happens when a cc gets to ten created courses. Can a cc delete a whole course?, or do you just edit one of the ten you have if you want to create a new course? Can you get rid of a whole course anytime?

  Next to each of the Custom Courses, there will be a set of icons (Edit, Copy, Create Tourney, and Delete). Players that have access to create custom tournaments would be able to delete these as well. You also wouldn't need to wait until you reach 10 courses and can remove them when you have any number of courses. 

  Best,

  WGT's automated tourney validator could easily pick out the normal par courses .

  The ATV?! You just made that up!

  pdb1:

  . And should count as well . That's what CC rounds are supposed to do . Period . 

  Are they, says who?

  pdb1:

    Not going the extra mile to sort out the valid par courses will make this new feature fail . 

  No it won't.

  pdb1:

    No one wants to waste their time . 

  They are not a waste of time.

  pdb1:

    If that is the case then these tourneys may only be half popular . If not . The new feature will fail miserably . 

  No it won't.

  The 400 credit price tag to play a custom course is overly excessive.

  You pay 40 and 60 credits to play Whistler and Cabo De Sal.

  That was wgt's benchmark. TOP GOLF your being excessively greedy!

  Your staff know it, your customers know it and all the cats in my neighborhood know it.

  It's TIME TO REPLACE EITHER THE CEO or CFO just put someone there that knows what we are doing.

  50 credits MAX for a custom course please.
