    2) Vary the conditions. I think there should always be championship tees and difficult pin placements. However, having 30mph winds every round is not realistic. I think their should be a mixture of windy, breezy and clear non windy days throughout the 4 days. There should at least be 2 really windy days but 4 is kind of odd. Mixing it up would be more fun.

    3)I think we should create a season of sorts. We have 8 courses or so now with more on the way. I think that each course should be its own tourney and that their should be 4 majors.

    For example Masters (at Oakmont) US Open (at any US course) British Open (at St. Andrews) PGA (at any U.S. course; Greywolf for example)

    Create a money system to delve out money for the top 15. I will in fact volunteer to be in charge of it. That way we will be able to track average rounds per tourney, have a money list, etc.
    You wouldn't have to participate in every tourney, just the ones you want too. Just like the real PGA. More money in major tourneys than non majors.

    To #2, I love the British Open, that is why you have these conditions.

    To #3, It is a good idea and if you would like to do that away from OS, that is cool.

    However, with the recent problems that "official leagues" have caused to OS, I like the present system we have right now. Everyone just has fun and we don't "open" ourselves to cheating and whatnot. Just my opinion fellas.

      I agree completely. I'm all for the stroke play with cuts. I don't really like plain stroke play. It builds anticipation in a sense. Makes it more realistic to me.

            yeah, the cuts make it that much more exciting....seeing where you stand after each round and what kind of number you have to put up to stay in the hunt is a blast, adds to the fun

            as for the conditions, it really makes no difference what they are, since everyone has to play them the same way anyway

                  -I like having the cuts, too. It gives us something to shoot for.

                  -The one day deadlines aren't a problem for me, but it's not a big deal going to two days.

                  -As for playing conditions, I wouldn't mind alternating from calm to windy on different days.

                  However way the tourneys are set up, you can count me in. I'm looking forward to the next one.

                        fsquid i should apologize for jumping the gun with the criticism a little. the last tourney was perfect for a british open style tourney. i shouldn't have assumed that it would be the norm since it was the first one i was in. i don't mind doing that every now and then just raised an eyebrow if that was going to be every one.

                              While it was windy for those rounds, we also played from the front tees and I made the pins "medium". I'm basically trying to make this as random as I can get so I don't favor a select few in my tournies.
