  just a noob, but in a month & 1/2 ive only been asked about 12  times "can we watch your game?" spectate mode would generate ALOT more interest , is the admin listening? and the ability to speak to one another even with language barriers would be nice, so u can tell if youve been genuinely schooled by a drunk. latter is farfetched cause that would cost bandwidth/money not likely the money-whores at the helm of this game would be interested, but what do i know, im just a mouthy drunk with friends across the globe that wanna see me fail.    :P

  I've heard whispers of interesting in allowing players to watch others. How they are planning on doing it is a mystery to me. Thank you for the suggestion though. If a voice over ip were to happen you may have to refrain from inappropriate language haha.

  WGT itself has promoted some ?stream-saving? two years ago - a highlight of Chad's somehow famous video conference. Not much to be heard of that item lately...

  Yet, video streaming and VOIP is available - I have used both with WGT.

  The only thing is that you have to set it up with third-party software, e.g. TeamSpeak or Skype for chatting.

  Streaming costs a lot of bandwidth which obviously may endanger the meter. Which of the opponents would take this burden?

  You mayeth not explore any advancement if it impacteth the Holy Meter.

  And that is the truth.

  Yancy and I hope to do a weekly blitz on Twitch  I use C3 voice chat and Yancy can call in using his cell phone w/ speakerphone activated to my unique C3 room access number [cue James Bond Theme]

  Yes, streaming affects my 2G laptop but Twitch can be more about getting together rather than getting a Hole in One. I use my G25 irons for a slower meter while broadcasting. The good news is that when I stream, Yancy's meter isn't affected by my broadcast software.

  It's all about having fun, chatting, sharing jokes or tips or current news about World Golf Tour. 

  I may meet other Twitch WGT streamers and then viewers can watch a multi twitch* if we both stream the same game. Multi twitch is free and the streamers can add inserts, view profiles, scorecard, reverse view, player equipment, hole info, use telestrator/chalkboard, access chatrooms etc. I'd like to keep advancing with it.

  [below is what a 3 player multi twitch could look like to a viewer.]
