Since there seems to be no way to start threads on the Tournament board at the moment, I'll put it here.
Thought number one...allow more time for the big tourneys. How about trying a 48 hour window per round for the one in the first half of the month and 72 hours per round for the later one? Try that for a few months and see what works best. My bet is that more members will complete the four round competitions than the current 24 hour ones.
Actually, I think it might benefit the club to make all of the tourneys either 48 or 72 hours, or even a week for the single rounders.
Finally, it might also be better to offer slightly fewer tournaments (I'm thinking of a reduction of 25% or something similar). There are just so many now that it seems like overkill. I realize no one has to participate in all of them, but we want participation, right? As it is now, it's difficult trying to balance country club matches, WGT-wide tournaments, other matches and practice. I don't think the idea of the country club is to put a stranglehold on the members to spend every moment in club activities; then again, I could be wrong.
Hit 'em straight and sink those putts.

I have to support you on the 48 hour window per round. I also find it very difficult to complete some tournaments in time, especially due to the time difference. Cheers Hansie

I had a reply to this, don't know where it went.
Total agreement; I couldn't have played the US Open if the rounds hadn't started at 5 AM for me; I play a lot after work and I work late. 48 hours is not unreasonable, especially for a major, it would just be a full week. Seems like we'd have 30 play it instead of 15.
I could also get behind fewer tourneys. I do like the Order of Merit idea, and like to see my name climbing it, but there's just a lot that I feel I need to play just to get SOME points, even if I don't try very hard. I don't think that's what we want from tourneys.
However, I go along and get along! Best club I've found, by FAR. I really, really appreciate the work you main guys put in.

Once again it's not letting me sign in. So strange. Anyhoo...
One other thing...how about making the two-part Gold & Silver monthly finals 3 days per round? Again, it's a "biggie" and that might allow more people to play.
Thanks.
