  If it turns out to be a par 3 course , then I think we all know that it is game over !

  Wgt needs to bring new irons for those 90 +

  and a new course for the general public.

  One a year is not enough !

  We dont need cobra drivers and other  none bs.

  Maybe they can only  provide that , maybe they are at their last breath ???

  past  updates used to be with callaway, nike and etc.

  Now it is????

  We wanted a cc inter game , and they came up with a pass shite!

  Do we need a historian ?! Rome is burning and it is not getting better with the silence !

  I fear that it is the end!

  I hope they stick to this. I just don't don't think the Top 4 finishers will be the 4 playing on Twitch. It would be great to see something like that, but I have a feeling the 4 will be from the Top 20 or so. Funny how some claim their meter is screwed when running other programs. I used to use (until about 4 months ago) a 2007 Dell with Vista, have max of 4.5mg download, .40 upload, and when I pinged WGT, it was never under 80ms. That is probably the slowest connection in America, and I could run Skype, Ocam, both WGT windows (main and game client), and listen to music from Youtube while playing and it didn't bother my meter hardly ever. Maybe once a month I would get one jerk or stutter.

  With that said, I now have a souped up HP, and I can still do all of the above, although the Vista seemed smoother, to me. I think the game is better suited to older machines and OS's. Just my observations.

  Please don't be a Par 3 course.

  Valhalla would be great as a full stroke play course.  The Ctth should be released to CC's too

  I woulda thought BD too but a par 3 course for a championship? Sounds a little weak.

  i know, right.

  Pebble w/ heavy winds? Lol !!!!

  Did anybody notice the 3rd requirement? -

  'Bout time they did something like that so we can lay to rest the cheating conspiracies. 

  Sounds good, so the right player wins it.

  All who think that streaming the final four is a great idea -well think about this-system requirements:

  Computer Memory 8 gigabytes or more recommended
  Network Upload Speed 3 megabits or more recommended
  Checking your Network Upload Speed-wgt

  What about those who are using a laptop with 2G and upload speeds of 40-48KB/s- guess they will have to forfeit.  

  All  who think anyone who shoots a 52 on Pinehurst 2 must be cheating just don't get it.. There are some very good players on here in contention for the final four-and they are legit.

  There might be an alternative..  I have an incredibly slow upload speed too, and it was mentioned to me that instead of streaming my games I could record them so that you could go to my twitch page and watch the rounds after the fact. Not sure how it all works, but it would at least provide us mere mortals with a chance to see someone shoot a 52.

  Just sayin'...
