BolloxInBruges:
Pretty sure they photographed 3 sets of pins for most courses, can't remember where I read it, maybe a misterwgt chat?

Hey Sam,

MisterWGT's only statement on multiple pins AFAIK didn't give a number

MisterWGT:

We shoot multiple pin locations and have done so for every stroke-play course. That said, each pin location equates to several thousand photos to review, edit, color-correct and insert into the game. Thus, over the years, it's always a balancing act between new course production schedules & additional hole locations.

- MisterWGT

That said, I'm quite sure they shoot 3 pin locations.

YH just think its a bit lame, we got 2 sets of pins on some newer courses before RSG , been nearly 2 years now lol...

Think you may be right about holding a set back for The Open, but on the other hand i dont suppose anyone will bother organising that at WGT as they seem pre occupied else where.

Just a side note WTF is the "swing circle" any use for ???

Maybe time spent putting the new pins on is way down the list afterall lol..

I turned it on once...there is a round thing taht say's "swing" in it...I assume useful for MP games, when you and another player have the same avatar?

My assumption (but only tried it in SP) is it pops up when it's your turn to hit.

I've seen what it does but i don't understand why its needed, i know its late here in the UK but......if some bright spark could let me know if its any use for anything in particular id be greatful.

....And maybe if i could see the long list of wgt players who asked for this "improvement",

..Probably the same ones who asked for extra large dots on the putting surface no doubt.

Yeah, I agree Mike, but I need more than that. Something like this, with a klaxon horn, might get my attention.

Where do they get these ideas? You ever get the feeling there is a whole other forum we don't know about?

LOL yeah, and I think they are paying WGT to not make "yelloways". ;-)

I wonder if there's a WGT FaceBook page?
