I was an old Links player for many years, even back to when it was played via the old America On Line internet. Had to load the tee and pin settings for tournaments and connect back to send them your score, man those days on the internet sucked.
I don't think was Born said that it is necessary to buy the rights to do the courses like Links did many years ago while WGT has to spend days on the actual course to shoot it from many angles. I'm not sure exactly how TWO gets as many courses as they do, it might be the same thing you can use the course as long as you don't have to photograph on the course itself.
It was fun back in the old day of Links to design courses and play on the custom designed tracts. I can still recall playing an end of year championship on a course called Waterville, every shot was to an island, I was lucky enough to win the tourney, got a nice glass trophy from them, bigger than most of the real ones I have.
