  Hi, got a couple suggestions I didn't see on the list:

  1.More a question but in suggestion form - can more of the courses seen on CTTH be made into full stroke play?  Would love to play the Hawaiian course(s) and others such as Netherlands course, Edgewood, etc.

  2. Probably getting nitpicky, but using the putter off the green should not count as a putt.

   

  Thanks!  Love playing!

  It happened for Pebble Bech but don't hold your breath waiting for more.

  To make them full courses requires going back and surveying and re-photographing the whole course. The cost is prohibitive and would be much higher if they travelled outside of the USA.

  What we do get is the US Open course every year, so the next course on WGT will be Erin Hills in early summer 2017.

  It doesn't, when you hole a putt from the fringe that goes it it shows you holed out an approach shot....correct me if I'm wrong, I never really looked at it...

  It does and it does not.

  Putts are counted differently on the scorecard and in the in-game stats. IIRC, the former doesn't count putts from the fringe but the latter does. (or vice-versa)
