I compounded the problem by not using terms/values DG know and accept. Instead of the word "cut" or Yoduh's (Scam) I should have just listed every deduction as well as the per player fee I intended to charge. Each of which was a conscience decision I made along the way. Judge me on those choices and their value and what you received not on how you felt.

I'd like to beleive that by posting the financial page of the tournament paperwork clears up any controversy.
and
That I set a precedent that all TD's make this page of their paperwork publicly available

Will I do it differently next time? Certainly. but will be for free? No.

One thing is for sure

Now when everyone of you looks at payouts you will pay more attention. If you see something you don't like say it then.

This is a learning moment. Can we survive with innuendo and conjecture? Online sure, but in the real world No.

By offering transparency we will see just how efficient our TD's are, what and how they assign value to their efforts. Our biggest challenge is to actually get golfers to respond with feedback

Or you can fill out this online survey as a local option with improvement as it's goal. I do want to thank the 3 who have responded

I don't know what else I can do to help make my event better

a good start would be following the tour standards.

jub, the link for the survey isnt correct. with a little deductive reasoning i found the survey, and after looking through it i think that it needs some more work on some of the questions. most of the latter questions might have been done better by having more options or worded differently. but i did fill out the survey the best i could.

thanks for pursuing this and trying to make your events better. i wish more people would give you actuall input so that you can accomplish what you are trying to do.

If I had my way the TD's would be paid on a sliding scale (just like the tiers) but for this each would have to publish all the numbers and be held to a higher standards apporiate to their tier. The only short coming of this process is the golfer who can't or won't be bothered to respond. Apathy Kills!

This revenue could actually support more then just the weekend players. Like the port o let for 3 months instead of 3 days. It could also be used to reward volunteers with actual wages for helping or heaven forbid Tournament Sponsored Comped Entry. "That's right! Each and everyone of you contributed x $'s for this persons entry for doing ...." The opportunity is there for every golfer all they have to do is know they will be recognized for their help!

jub scale
$4 for C
$6 for B (after $300 added cash disperesed across the entire field),
and a wopping $10 for A (after $1500? added cash dispersed across the entire field)

These ideas would compensate TD's for hunting sponsors without under valuing the ones who want to do it for the sport
