  I received a message from a couple of members saying they cant play in some of our club tournaments , They cant see them or enter them . It might have something to do with playing the game on a tablet or mobile ? I don't know .  Could it be the course ?

  Why are we not aware of this ?  Why doesn't WGT tell us what can be played and what can not , I would really like to know .

  We have a help tournament every couple of weeks so we can help a member upgrade their EQ ,  The tournaments are premium so members can donate credits . I have members that want to help out but they cant !    Because they cant see the tournament or enter it  !!

  WHY ? WHY ? WHY ?

  Mobile players will not see them if they involve a course or hole not available on mobile. Oakmont is one that comes to mind, and I think most of the Best Of's.

  I know of Oakmont (assuming the same old contractual limitations) and Bo4 (no known reason).

  We've had the subject a few times, so the company may have the POV, "it's all said already".

  You might let your mobile members tell you which courses are available to them in regular stroke play - that is the list!

  I am tournament director in my club. We keep our club fairly small with weekly house cleaning of the dead weight and dingleberries. At about 110 members, we have a half dozen or so solid members that strictly play on mobile. When I set up our yearly club championship a few weeks ago, monthly tournies leading to playoffs at the end of the year, I eliminated Oakmont and the Best Of's so that the mobile players were able to compete in it throughout the year. I did use the Best Of Par 5's as they seem able to play that one for some reason.
