    Does anyone know how can we go about requesting WGT to set up game rooms where players can compete over 9 or 18 holes for reasonable stakes?

    I understand from other discussions on this forum that many players are delighted to play single hole matches to quickly earn coins and apparel upgrades, and more power to them. But for those of us who enjoy actually playing golf (albeit virtually), it would be nice to have the option of playing longer matches.

    Before the recent changes to the rooms, I enjoyed playing the 9 holes "Beverly Hills" room.  It was fun meeting other players from around the world and chatting while playing. Over 9 holes skill and consistency mattered more than luck (it would be even more so over 18 holes). There was also time for the match to ebb and flow. It seems crazy that one now has to risk 50k or go all in to enjoy a 9 hole match.

    I'm also not convinced that tie-breaks are necessary.  I don't mind sharing the spoils with a competitor who has matched me shot for shot over 9 or 18 holes.

    Ask WGT via "Contact" below.

    Remember: They are WGT. Hope is futile.

    Very well said - entirely agree. Think I'll be deleting this game soon if there are no more options. It was more than earning shinny things, it was connecting with real people enjoying a sport together.
