Re: More or add more courses for Stroke Play w/o fees

  It would be nice to have some more options for courses or add more courses to the Stroke Play sets that would not have credit fees.  Why not bring in course like the following:

  Doral Blue Monster

  TPC Sawgrass

  TPC Sugarloaf

  Spyglass Hils

   

  On Pebble Beach, when can we have a full 18 there?

  When can we play the full course at Harbor Towne without fees or challenge?

  Thanks!

  We know that there are contractual and financial issues between today's status and any amendments. Alas, the Hold-Your-Tongue tribe of Bay Area don't talk about such issues.

  My two Pfennig:

  We're better off to take things as they are - they are WGT, hope is futile.

  You forgot Augusta. Everybody asks for Augusta. And then somebody explains it.  :-)

  I'd love to see Augusta too!  But, I bet they are hard as #17 at TPC Sawgrass on a very windy day to get approval to be used on a site like this.   We can only dream to play Augusta...maybe one day we can.

  First off you havent played enough to ask for more courses . L40 Pro member since 2009 63 ranked rounds played . They just added 3 best of courses as well . Hopefully swe will get the back 9 of Pebble with the next update .That is if WGT is willing to get their heads out of their behinds .

  But either way , before you ask for more courses you first need to play the existing courses  more .

  Maybe I haven't played that much because I don't have a lot of time to play the courses as much as others can.  I just want to see a few others added to add more "flavor".

  Do you have any idea of what it takes to make this happen?

  You average about 9 rounds a year in play and you want to see more courses added . What a joke .

  As pointed out, there are a few contractual and financial boxes to tick before WGT can even dream of making a course. Of course if you would like to bankroll some of the courses, I am sure that will be received favorably by WGT.

  Sadly the copious amounts of money you have thrown at the game so far means they are a tad short on the investment required.

  SO.....my advice is to learn how to play the courses we already have and master them.....unless you have already under a different account.

  I don't understand why WGT don't add some regular courses. I get that there are financial and contractual obligations, but the courses they have thus far are all courses that host major championships. 

  Why don't they add some regular courses that nobody has heard of? Probably wouldn't have to pay the owners much if anything at all, and we would all love one or two new courses even if they aren't courses the pros visit.
