    WIZARD Video setting Gimmies Tour play

    We have had too many people not following 6ft gimmie tour rules. Whether accidental or not here is a video to help. Enjoy

    Hi guys, if you see this, send me a PM. It almost always is someone new that hasn’t had TGC2019 for long and thinks they found a “cheat” like kids do in video games. They usually aren’t members at GSF and don’t know any better. In TGC1, the system automatically didn’t count scores for people not shot recording. ProTee is working on changing TGC2019 in the new year to address it. With being able to lock down most things such as rewinds they didn’t anticipate this new thing happening. We have been removing the scores and I have been contacting them via email.

    I love the gator gimmie name.

      When I play a round in TGC2019 on Tour, Rewinds (Mulligans) are disabled which is probably the way it needs to be.  But there is the occasion  where my LM will read (or mis-read) a stroke.  It usually happens on the green when you're moving the ball around with the putter to get ready to putt.  We've had balls zoom across the green and go 20+ yards into the rough.  If I was still using skytrak, I would think there might be more mis-reads... When you say TGC is going "lock down most things such as rewinds they didn't anticipate this new thing happening"  Are they planning to allow for this type of thing? Not a critical thing but just curious. As I'm writing this, I imagine it being more work for you if they do.

      By “this thing” I’m referring to people setting any ball on the green to be a 1 putt. I put out a poll before TGC2019 asking for a vote on removing rewinds from the tour and the vote for yes was well above 90%. There will not be rewinds allowed. They were abused with the common explanation of “I’m a good golfer, I know I hit a better shot than that”. You need to be careful rolling balls near your LM.

      If I play with someone as a ghost, and I never see them putt, is that a sign of something shady?

      I played a ghost earlier and never saw a putt. im playing a different ghost during round 2 and am watching putts.

        If it’s a gimmie the ball will poof and disappear in ghost play. That’s how you can tell it’s a gimmie. That and they never putt. Lol.
