  l find myself going through stages, i can be bored with this game to an extent where i will only log in and collect my XP points for the day, other times have been known to go without sleep if l'm 'enjoying myself'.

  Have to agree with Alanti, this is a great game and the potential l personally think could be phenominal (think l've spelt that right ) :)

  Here's wishing??

  alanti:

  I agree with the OP that more stroke play courses are needed. But apart from Merion soon, I don't know what plans WGT have this year, and hoping they will surprise us.

  I think I saw the number 6 million members - the true number will be somewhat lower but I don't want to get to the stage that I cannot book a tee time on any of the courses!

  Currently we have 7 courses and 2 Tru Golf courses( I will ignore the best of courses), which is pretty good considering the quality of the courses. However if you take 2 out (in my case Kiawah because of the shoddy green mapping) and RSG (I dislike this course intensely as I find it so unappealing) I have 5 course and 2 tru golf courses available.

  If you take someone who has played 1000 RR they probably have played all courses at least one hundred times, so the monotony does start to set in.. Without regularly introducing new courses players will eventually leave or will certainly play less.

  Yes you can take up uneven lies, but not everyone enjoys this. What WGT cannot allow to happen is for the game to become stale, because at that point players will leave in numbers.

  This is a great game, but has so much more potential to be even better.

  Just do what I do IRL - if the course isn't challenging enough for you, drink beer until it is.

   

  It's not fun until you ask yourself how you got a quadruple bogey on a par 3 the following morning.

  WGT courses are worth the wait, and yes, we do play them over & over but no other game has these photographed courses.  We were spoilt in the past receiving UK and USA open courses giving us 2 a year, but now i dont know if money's a factor with WGT or cant secure deal with british courses for UK Open, but why cant they introduce a few extra Trugolf courses to fill the gap as playing same courses re-mixed doesn't quite sit the same as a brand new different course.

  Whats the chance of WGT just photographing a local or less well known PGA course as well????

  Yes, TruGolf courses aren't as good as WGT ones, but I wouldn't mind paying the green fee's just to get something different.  Why doesn't WGT develop any course and charge us a green fee to cover their "extra" costs

  Nice post. I agree. If there were three or four more obscure courses from four different landscapes,pay for or not I think that would fulfill my hunger. And of course,being able to somehow,once year for a month bring Augusta National on. Whatever it takes! Tell me how to sign on. lol
