    I think a "Best Of Par 5" course would be lotsa fun to play...anyone else think so?

    It would be. Others have suggested a Par 3 course as well. Somehow any games played on those courses would have to be programmed to be outside of the score averages and class statuses, though.

    I'd rather see Pebble Beach and Edgewood become playable with all options of games.

    I 2nd that idea.  Played Pebble Beach when I joined WGT.  Edgewood Tahoe I just enjoy in in blitz or closet to the hole, love to see the alien in the mountains & the lion face.  Bring it on WGT, make it happen I know you can.

    Long ago, in the days of Sega Genesis, they displayed a fairly accurate version of TPC Sawgrass in Jacksonville Florida, where the "5th" major is played. The course has every kind of challenge that WGT should love, and plenty of water - most famously, the 17th hole Island green.

    WGT doesn't even have to worry about the abundance of rain!

    But if WGT does expand to TPC Sawgrass, I would hope they don't mis-apply the lateral water hazard rule (in their favor) and charge stroke and distance, like they do at Congressional 18.

    Where the ball last crossed the margin, it may be placed within two club lengths, not nearer the hole from the point at which it last crossed that lateral hazard margin.

    WGT (of course) should charge exactly two club lengths from nearest point of relief - it's bad enough they get to confiscate 300 credit calloways or 450 credit nikes for splashdowns.

    Water hazards were NEVER designed to be the same penalty as lost balls!

    We have been told that Pebble beach will be back at some point. but as for Edgewood Tahoe I don't see it ever being anything but CTTH. The Expense to bring it to 18 hole full stroke play would be too much.
