Suggested Improvements for OS LINKS TOURNEYS

Re: Suggested Improvements for OS LINKS TOURNEYS

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.

Yeah, that's why I was thinking about it. It was my first tournament and you even said you wanted to make it like the British Open. The realism does make it fun, I just don't think playing like that every round is fun. Not that I don't like having to work my *** off for a par but hell, even injunwal finished with a +8 or something, lol.

I'm sure many of us haven't reached that point of the game yet thus haven't faced those elements yet. It takes me a few holes to figure out how to hit my tee shots and keep them in the fairway.

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.

Very good ideas, in fact we do the same thing at my league:

Pin Positions: Medium (Round 1), Medium (Round 2), Difficult (Round 3), Difficult (Round 4)
Wind: Breezy (Round 1), Windy (Round 2), Breezy (Round 3), Windy (Round 4)

We also vary the weather conditions for each round too. Usually at least one round is in the rain and one in the fog. Some courses like St. Andrews we have 2 rain days.

We're doing a 9 week season as well, and having a money system for each tournament to figure out the season standings and who will play in the final match play tournament. Sounds like you guys are on the right track here, just need to get it organized.

Hmmmm, does the weather settings such as rain and fog affect
the ball in flight or on putts ??? In other words, are putts slowed down because of the rain or balls hit into the fairways roll less ??? I've never thought about this until now.....has anybody noticed a difference in ball physics when playing under these conditions ????

Re: Suggested Improvements for OS LINKS TOURNEYS

Rain slows down putts a lot. I haven't noticed any clear effects of the ball during fog or wind on the ball during putts.
