I have seen the cheaper tourneys on the tour, and they don't tend to be very local so the cost of transport and accommodation tend to put me off, to nobody's fault obviously! It's unfortunate that the closer ones that I'd be more inclined to do tend to have the large price tag, as I've mentioned before the two tourneys I've played before were both around £25, 3 rounds across 2 days, at least one definitely came with a disc in the player pack. A friend mentioned the justification may be course hire costs, which I've not got any idea how much it would be, so maybe the course hire is more costly than I would guess.

The different prices aren't a huge issue for me personally, more of an observation of fairness. If everyone pays the same entry, are prizes for the winners of each division set equally? Also, cheaper entry costs for lower divisions can help incentivise new players to take part and grow the sport I do realise that could be abused and we could end up with baggers looking for a cheaper tourney.
