    hi

    i think it's not likely to done for 2 reason.

    1. most people prefer playing tournaments alone, at their own pace, often taking 30 seconds for 1 shot and 5 minutes for another.

    2. many times it would be unfair advantage to play with partner who may be able to help with wind.,  reading shots, and so on:)

    How about a real time, multi-round tournament?  Players would have to be on time to play of course, but if for instance a player could join a tournament before it starts, be assigned a start time and must be ready to play at that time.  Match foursoms up and run it just like a real 72 hole tournament.  When you tee off players will play the course as a foursome, have a cut after 36 holes. 

    Tournaments could be run as country specific and results compiled.  This way a player wont have to play at 3am or in the middle of a work day.

    I'm sure i'm dreaming as this game is not built on a platform to support it.  I am thinking that a tournament could be run similar to how the online poker tournaments are run.  Real time, if not logged in at start time, you lose.

    My 2 cents.

    I agree with Budman. Have thought this many times and just figured it had been brought up before. I know a lot of my friends like this idea also. I don't think a lot of people like playing them alone. I play them alone and always wish that I could play it against someone at that time.

    It would sure be nice to see more opinions on this. Maybe if there is enough support WGT will implement it.
