  How about playing in real time? Players get matched together just like in a real tournament. This way would mimick real tournaments. Depending on tee times, winds can change alot. It would seem to me to be a more fair fix. Would be nice to see a leader board in real time. WGT could go as far as offering tournaments that match the PGA. But anyway, the play is fun.

  Nice, but folks are spread out all over the world. Golf pros will show up for their tee time because, well, it's their job. WGT players still have other jobs and other things to do, in all the various time zones around the globe.

  However, if you pay me like the pros, I promise to always make my tee times.

  Again i have to ask the question,Is it fair that Player A can be hitting a 3 iron into a certain hole and player B  hits a PW,that's some difference isnt it,Thats what you will get at RSG with high winds,So my question is,,Is that fair? I don't putt well enough on Championship greens to worry about winning Opens ,I just dont think its fair,Is there another way of toughening the course up without high winds?

  i love high winds like the black death.

  why don't WGT just scrub the high winds and toughen up the game by spraying molasses on the greens or have a moving pin target?
