  Around this time last year, WGT's big announcement was a new partnership with the PGA. Coinciding with the PGA Championship, there was the Valhalla CTTH, along with an opportunity to vote on Sunday pin placements on the PGA website (using WGT to try out each of the four proposed Sunday placements).

  This year....  [crickets]

  Guess that partnership was short-lived

  PGA probably was sol on 10 million accounts, then when real world interaction happened, they realised 50% where just made for free balls 30% signed up thinking it was a Facebook game played for a few hours n never played again.

  10% where multi accounters 5% got bored n stopped playing the next 4% don't even know there are forums

  and the final 1% are the active vocal people on the website!

  Something like that was discuss a couple of months ago. The quest is the same as the op and in some of the linked pages extended from WGT Media to the PGA site we talked about that add a single course, no metter if stroke or closest, per year it would be a good start even, an excellent start. Valhalla is a project done and I think that during this year we could have a new course if there were not so much issues as the ones each new release. Pebble Beach is under construction but it will be full 18.

  Probably next course will be a closest and I would like it for sure. The activities advertising from WGT and Partners is a process that cannot be suggested but only well-advocated for daily players, the registered cash doesn't care if you are a multi, a cheater, a sandbagger or whatever else an account represent while is online.

  Just a thought.
