  Hi,

  We need more courses and they'are plenty of good ones.

  for example, Golf National St Quentin en Yvelines, host of the Ryder Cup 2018. 80 % of players love this course. One more in Europe, Gleneagles or Carnoustie in Scotland, Valderama in Spain. And of course a big choice in USA so.... work on that and many wgt players'll be happy....

  Ty to read me and sorry for the bad english

  It costs a significant amount of money to add a course, not to mention all the work that has to be done. apparently, the planning alone requires about 6 months per golf course.

  Not to mention the negotiations that they have to do with the course owners to get the rights to use the course. And as we found out last year with Royal Lytham they can't always get the rights to use a course/

  Add the additional costs of overseas travel to the normal cost of the procedure.  I think that WGT might want to focus a little more on the PGA tour courses that will probably be more cost effective and not as difficult to negotiate with in the future.

  I could live with harbour Town, Torrey Pines, etc. over nothing.
