SimGolf Discussion: Choosing Majors

[wig]

How should we pick majors?

[Balldog]

Which courses have the highest difficulty ratings?

I vote for voting. Going by difficulty would be a good starting point, but we'd still have to have a means of ensuring the course didn't get such a high difficulty from lack of playability. ie: I can make a course with a +39 average score, it's be ugly as hell, but I think it'd have a hell of a difficulty rating ;)

P.S. Been running tournaments with the progolfer.dta, I'm using Gary Golf, who blows huge chunks, but my golfer seems to suck almost as bad. There's also one mean ass course, I forgot the name, but Tiger had -3, the next best was +6 and it ran all the way down to +47, ouch....

The tough one was Coyote Flats. I think that we should have a vote with all the relevant data from each course. Average score, skill ratings, length, etc.

I want our majors to have some variety. However, I think it would be cool to pick one of the original courses to host the FOFC Masters each year and then leave the other 3 open to possible rotation. So the top vote-getter from the first season is a permanent major and then we vote on the other 3 each season. They may repeat, they may not.

i chose vote. that way we can ensure a good variety of majors, and its not purely skill based.
