  I know that there is no Open course - old news - but would it not have been good to hold an British Open for us to play, even on either St A or RSG.

  It cannot cost much in credit prizes and would go well for those of us who tried the other qualifying and were found short (maybe even quite a way short in my case) of getting into the final.

  Could even have been in the Nation and brought out the UELs but.....nothing.

  A missed opportunity

  One of the many :) Looking at the dynamics here, it seems that WGT is heading not towards IPO, but towards closing... Which would be a pity for once a very promising game.

  Hey, if it ain't in the 'Good old US of A' it ain't happening..

  What on Earth gave you the idea that the R.O.W means anything to WGT ?

  Just look at the Ad campaigns / Sponsored tourneys to see who benefits !!

  (sad, but sadly, so true)

  Andy

  Edit: Maybe WGT,  someone @ head office could have recognized the R.O.W are generally left out and hosted a Tourney ( like the Starter one) to include EVERYONE for once ??

  Might've been fun....( We will never know ) 

  What I do know is that the 'Marketing and Promotions Dept' need a good kick up the hacienda !!

  ( I say marketing dept, but I guess it's just 2 ppl running around trying to do the jobs of 10 )

  Hence all the..........

  Mr WGT, ''What is this they are all saying.. An Open Golf Tourney!!! And where would that be??''

  Lackey, '' I think its at a place called Muirfield Chief.''

  Mr WGT, '' Muirfield, Muirfield!! Where the hell is Muirfield?''

  Lackey, '' I think its in Scotland Sir.''

  Mr Wgt, ''Scotland you say.. So what has that got to do with us!!!''

  Lackey, ''Well its the British Open Sir.. All the big names are playing.''

  Mr WGT, '' Ohhh!! That place across the pond... We helped them out back in the 1940's..We are not doing anything else for them..Sod them, we only take care of our own here. Keep it OUR wgt..''

  Lackey, ''So whar do we say to them boss!!!''

  Mr WGT, '' Say to them!!! You don't say anything to them.. They'll maybe get the picture and go away..''

  Lackey, '' (Silence!!!!!)..''

  And to be honest they don't do that very well !

  We passed on the language and what do you do ? ..Start taking letters out !

  Pure laziness imo , hence the weight I suppose...
