I would like to know how a player can shoot double figures in all 4 rounds of this Tourney. A total of -51 and the nearest challenger with a modest total of -22 which is imo reasonably achievable but -51 strikes me to be odd, we have heard of cheat modes being available and some players will go to any length to achieve these ridiculous scores and should be sought and removed from pgls as it ruins competion for every one else who play like the sport should be played. We have been through this time and time again at wgtls and look where that has gone, ( to the dogs) Such a shame the minority spoil it for the genuine majority. This goes on not just in 1 tourney but the rest. If a cure cant be found for this ridicule,my suggestion is to put a limit on the most realisticly achievable score so the outrageous scores wont count, take the example I have shown above, something has to be done or this will go the way others have gone before.
I know Andy ( Affo ) is trying his best to do something to even it all out but I have my doubts as someone will find another way around it.
I have written my feelings and I am sure there are many others who feel the same way, lets see where it goes.
Just for thought, we have had discussions at our local club in the past about handicaps and how certain players protect them, and we came up with a method that many agreed that the handicap system should be is that any score shot under par would determine that players handicap and would only get point 1 of a stroke back for any strokes shot over par on a permanent basis. So for example: player handicap 18 - Par for course 72 - shoot 85 - that player would play off 13 next time out, shoot over par the next time out after the last one, they would be off handicap 13.1 the time after etc etc. Worth thinking about?
