In nearly every Clash recently, my club has been “randomly” assigned the same course repeatedly. In this one, we’ve had Olympic F9 4 out of 6 times, 3 times in a row just on Thursday. There should be a revision in the Clash structure to ensure a rotation of courses that provides more uniform conditions for each club.
All clubs should play the same course during each 4 hour Clash window, with each of the 6 chosen courses getting a 4 hour window per day. All clubs would get to play each course once a day. Rotating the courses on Friday allows players with different time zones and schedules more opportunity to play each course at least once during their typical playing times. Each player has a chance to play a free pass on each course twice on this schedule.
Thursday
- Midnight-4AM. Course 1
- 4AM-8AM. Course 2
- 8AM-Noon. Course 3
- Noon-4PM. Course 4
- 4PM-8PM. Course 5
- 8PM-Midnight. Course 6
Friday

- 4AM-8AM. Course 5

- Noon-4PM. Course 1
- 4PM-8PM. Course 2
- 8PM-Midnight. Course 3
Yes, I know there would need to be some significant reprogramming needed to make this happen, but since Clash is probably WGT’s biggest ball hit and pass buying generator, it would be in their interest to keep players engaged and make their purchases in a way that benefits rather than bores them. It's a proposal I expect to get nowhere.
