why no one or at least, why so few play Ch-Classic?
surely not for fear of losing to me :D
but in last couple weeks, only 1 other played - what am i missing?
and the Hndcp? 50+ i usually end up at the bottom of that standings board - yet so many flock to it!

i'm just not understanding the draw, can someone please enlighten me?

Bruce, I stopped playing Elite for that very reason. I have been playing some Pro just to have some company. I have to work a lot more so I don't end up in the bottom of the pack where as in Elite, I just played more for fun and where I ended up was just fine. I only play in one or two events per week so just try to keep a few guys in my sights. I am guessing that most of them just like the competition that they have in Pro and Ammy.

I'm a member of Pete's World Tour and Steve's European Tour. With 12 rounds weekly, that's just about my limit. I really like playing some of the classic courses, and I'd like to play the PLSA too, but just don't have the time for it.

It's down to time for me and the ones I do play are where there is real competition and numbers. Pro on the Links tour , elite on the world tour , some champ on the Euro tour. I miss playing RAW but just can't fit more in

good feedback!
for now, i'll stick with Ch-Cl... and be lonely :(
but ~ maybe a few will trickle in to make it interesting.

as for time, i understand. i can do 4 rounds/week, but 8 is pressing.
and i'm not so much concerned about 'standings'... just curious why so few played Ch-cl

When everything is working perfectly with the swingmeter and computer, I prefer Champ, but not much activity in Champ these days.

If you want company, you are most welcome to join the European Tour, we have 5 or 6 regulars at various Champ swings :D

And an irregular :wink: I only play sometimes on European and World Tours but I've considered the PLSA a bit as well lately, I just know I probably wont finish 4 rounds on the same course in one week, the 2 round setup is one of the main reasons I mostly play on European Tour.
