  Hello,

  I am fairly new to playing WGT and i do love this game.

  I have been playing real golf since i was 5 and was in the golf industry as a club pro for 8 years.

   

  I would love to see the ability to move around on the tee box, as the angle from which you can tee off from would be very beneficial depending on wind, dog leggs, angle of approach, TREES!, etc.  

  Is this at all possible? 

  Thank you for taking this into consideration.

  This has come up before. WGT shows no inclination to make it happen, even though they could even with the restrictions of the photos available to them for game play. 

  Anyway. Are you aware that you can hit fades and draws off the tee with driver? You can even curve a ball into the wind.

  Nutshell: To draw, aim well right and ding in the DARK blue area of the meter, early. Reverse for a fade. A good place to practice these is #1 StA.

  That's how most of us fight the wind and trees. 

  Good luck.

  :^)

  Note the wind.

  This angle difference is very narrow, a max of two degrees, probably not worth the effort. In real golf, it serves the psyche more than the physics.

  Furthermore, take into consideration the bad ratio of costs and benefits (for the company) - need I say more?
