  What about playing the vitual British Open (The Open) 2010. This years course is already 1/2 there. Since we're expecting the back nine of SA, it would be nice to introduce it just after the US Open and start qualifications immediately. WGT, It's just an idea, but I think it will make everybody happy and can give a extra boost 2 WGT as well. Cheers, GoodyChamp

  LOL-You're onto it GC. You know it's a marketing thing and what better way to jump across the ocean and grab the European market.  The B.O. will probably be something akin to Canada's hockey Gold Medal with the virtual version making it available to everybody.

  First, let's do the US version on Oakmont!

  The R&A might have some objections to that.

  Quote WGT: "After witnessing an incredibly exciting Masters, now it’s your turn to compete in two Virtual Majors and endeavor to be crowned Champion of The USGA Virtual Championship and The Virtual Open Championship 2010."
