    Hi guys,

    LGGT Season 2 will begin on Monday, January 12th! @Tris10 is working on a few things to get me setup to run things, but he needs a few days to have things the way he wants. So, we'll start in another week, if all goes well. I will be acting as Commissioner, but expect to rely heavily on Tris and [MENTION=7031]PHJ314[/MENTION] who are acting in a supporting role that I am very grateful for.

    Meanwhile, I want to make some announcements.

    - We are officially one LGGT league now, with both XB1 and PS4 players playing against each other. Our goal is to have larger numbers so that we can then consider a two-tier league. We do not want anyone to be discouraged, and understand people are at different skill levels. For now, we're one group, but understand our goal is to have Season 3 have multiple tours for different skill levels!
    - The Season will expand from 12 Weeks to 16 Weeks, meaning a Major once every 4th Week. Our goal will be to find a Course that will have different pin placements/tee boxes for each round.
    - There will be 1 Primary and 1 Secondary Course each week. 4 Rounds on the Primary, 2 Rounds on the Secondary. As per last year, points will be less on the Secondary.
    - I am seeking people for a Policy/Fairness Committee and a Competition Committee. Policy/Fairness will help with monitoring of the league and ensure fairness. The Competition Committee will be involved in Course Selection and Review. If Tris is able, we are hoping to put a database together that permits us to identify what courses are able to be considered for Seasonal Play. We are hoping to avoid courses the Community finds unsatisfactory to play. All Committee members will be looked at for offering feedback on how to improve LGGT.
    - We will NOT be utilizing the Handicap System in any manner. It is too arbitrary to police, and anyone can sandbag during non-LGGT rounds to alter their rating in an unfavorable manner. I'm not interested in adding a layer like this.
    - We will NOT be utilizing the Stableford system, although we can consider this down the road.
    - Considering adding things like Press Tents (A nice idea from our friends at TGC Tours), among other things.

    We're excited to get the Tour back out there! If you have any questions, let me know!

    You can discuss your round(s), and make your own media of it. It's more fun, and to add life and personality to the Tour.

    I am willing to serve on the competition side of things. I play almost every night and scout couses all the time...

    Just a note, there is one sanctioned PGA event each year that has Stableford scoring, that's the Barracuda Championship in Reno, NV at Montreux GC. Maybe there can be just one secondary event this season to test Stableford out.

    As previously stated in my first post, we will NOT be utilizing this part of the game. It's too arbitrary, in our opinion, cannot be controlled, allows anyone the ability to give their controller to a 4 year old on non-tournament play (I have 5 kids who seem to like golf), and benefit from a higher handicap via unmoderated sandbagging.

    It's just not possible to implement, and [MENTION=4]Tris10[/MENTION] can explain how much of a statistical nightmare it would be to do on his end.

    If you need me to scope out courses or anything else I'll be happy too, just let me know.

    One suggestion if I may though, can we have a mixture of courses each week/month instead of 3 or 4 straight weeks of desert then rural followed by links or alpine. There should be enough quality courses out there now that we can pick and choose. Don't know about anyone else but by the 3rd week of the theme I was getting restless with it, would just prefer to play desert or links once every 3 weeks than for 3 solid weeks in a row. Anyone else feel the same?

    Just above the media clips on the LGGT page is a menu bar, and the Schedule is there.
