   I think that the structure of the Virtual Tour is wrong. Playing a first round unlimited it's only a big favour to people that can play all the day long, trying and trying until they obtain a wow score. A great advantage that don't allow to normal players to compete for the victory. Personally I had one only chance to play the 1st round. The second round is perfect. Single, difficult. There you can see the real good player and you give also a chance to everybody to win. There should be two rounds like the 2nd, imo. Now, so set, the VT is just a meaningless tournament. Tks Bye

  There must be some grind involved - grind sells balls!

  No grind, no win - that way the players finance their winnings!

  1 UL and 2 single play has been suggested by other players before. Gives kinda enough for both parties.

  If the game worked the way its should  ie 10 ft pitch at 30% lie hit at 13 ft should go 10ft but don't they go 15 or 6 or what ever the hell they decide to do putting green are nowhere near accurate for speed and roll when u hit a 7ft put on torny 11 at 5ft  it should make the cup on level shot same shot different hole goes 5ft past or might go 3ft it takes on average 20 rounds 4 me to get one fairly accurate on in if I have limited time I'm placing in the 200-300 place range aint that fun NOT

  I totally agree, I've never been a fan of unlimited play. Can you imagine the line at the first tee if they allowed restarts in the real U.S. Open? It would take a month to complete the first round:).    Frank

  I concur with the OP, but single rounds will never occur as a grind is required so WGT maximize ball sales.

  Personally I seldom play any unlimited round more than once, including the VUS Open. Do I qualify? No. Do I care? No.

  Any unlimited grind is meaningless in terms of skill....and demeaning to those who cannot/will not grind away, but those who are willing to grind will succeed.

  At best consider it an eclectic golf tournament....play enough and your bad scores will drop off. 

  I am not sure if comparisons to the US Open and WGT are relevant....this game is so  far removed from reality....and that is all it is - a computer game.
