May I ask why not just open up all things to RTS-C and then decide if there's really some scoring or cheating problem?

From what I can tell and what I've heard, no RTS-C person is going to have a prayer vs the scores that 3C people can put up anyhow, right?

Buck, poll runs to Weds when all the main events finish, nothing going to change before then, let the poll run out and the decision will then be made.
The scores may be unrealistic, or even a joke but heyho, that's what we got.

Play well and enjoy your game everyone! :drinks:

btw, not a game for snowflakes.

Honestly, it doesn't bother me anyway..
Love to participate at some point if it's "allowed".

I just don't conceptually understand the opposition to it.
Was there some point in time when controllers were allowed, yet those users were obviously cheating and winning all the time?
If not - what's the issue with allowing them?

Buck there were a few playing RTS-C at tour pro and averaging 85-95 and even 100% fairways.

What about their overall scoring?
I’m really good on FIR’s usually also, although I do play Pro, not TP

Drive for show, putt for dough - ya know? :notworthy:

Yes there were a couple but most of us are lucky to get 50% either in greens or fairways and to be honest I would take that all day long with a controller and by the way I would also take 30 putts which is harder than fairways or greens. I see 3C guys hit every fairway and green in a round but nobody says anything about that and it happened the tournament before the current one. There are no axis controllers out there and trust me if someone uses one we will all know as it's impossible to hit them crooked. They Speedlink and most Logitech models like the 210 and 310. If a player puts an Xbox 360 or Xbox One in their hand like most of us do good luck hitting anything straight but we sure as hell have fun doing it.

Greensboronclion 50% would be my average playing tour pro motion swing 60 % sometimes, one guy playing on the tours playing tour pro rts-c was able to hit almost every fairway by playing fades and draws with rts-c . I dont mean a slight i mean a wild draw or fade im sure you know who im talking about. Playing witht the controller real time around the greens and short game is tough yes i agree the putting being the hardest. And i voted yes to allow controller guys to play

At the current pgls 18 out of the top 10 of so players average fairways is about 60% tour pro most are 3 click, i do understand the putting is tougher playing the controller, hands down probably the hardest in the game but if mastered and you are hitting the fairways it will cause all the wild not fair swing method arguements again .
