  Considering you have so few courses; couldn't you at least change the the pin positions occasionally on the courses you do have? It would make things at least slightly more interesting. Cmon man innovate a little please.

  Sound simple enough. But when you consider they did not take may not have all the HD pictures of the different pin location its not so simple. Look at Kiawah and all the weird putting angles because they didn't take enough pictures for the putting angles.

  ZM, see MisterWGT's statement on this page, 3rd post down.

  MisterWGT:

  We shoot multiple pin locations and have done so for every stroke-play course.

  I should have mentioned this at the time, but how does MisterWGT explain the diabolical job of the second set of pins at Kiawah?

  Certainly in the early days they may have taken many photos but not with real planning of where the pins may be placed. I do think they have learned since, they just do not have the required competency nor staff to implement these......ever thought of applying Andyson?

  Nope! Happily retired thank you!  ;~)

  A while back I tried to piece together the story of Kiawah's 2nd set of pins.  How they got done.  Scroll to the bottom of this page for the post I made in December.  AFAIK MisterWGT has never commented on it.

  Two additional 18 hole stroke play courses are in progress right now:

  A collection of 18 par 3's from the Bandon Dunes resort courses in Oregon, and all 18 holes of Pebble Beach Golf Links for stroke play.

  Not counting the 'Best Of' courses we have, adding those 2 will bring the total of 18 hole stroke play courses to 13 - 11 made by WGT and 2 made by TruGolf.
