Re: Par 3 Amalgamated Practice Course

  Hi, I guess this has been suggested before, but I'll go ahead anyway. What are the thoughts of having a Par 3 course made up of the Par 3 holes on all the stroke Play courses. I find some of the par threes hard to judge, and often slip with a bogey or worse. It's mostly down to not working out how much I need to give it off the tee. My stats probably show an average of 3. something on par 3s and less than 4 or 5 on the other holes. It wouldn't be hard for WGT to put together has they have the holes ready. No need to balance the winds and greens as I am suggesting just a practice course. I would find it a great addition.

  Yeah Peter I would like to see this too.

  I would also enjoy a course that consists of 18 of the best holes on WGT, don't know how hard that would be but fun.

  Hi

  As each course is brand named & copyrighted, I personally don't there is a high chance that this can be done.

  Can you put the suggestion upstairs though Icon.

  Say that it is just for practice mode.

  Or alternatively, some kind of functionality that allows us to select certain holes at each course to practice, rather than an amalgamated course. That retains the course branding.

  i.e. practice mode, select course, select holes to practice.

  I brought this up as my own idea year+ ago. Also putting only CTTP where u'd feature #5 sta #7 + other long/hard greens. Same answer though.

  What about a putting CTTH for all 9 holes - say at Oak tournament greens?

  You know how this works. When you deal with contracts and licenses, things have to be spelled out ahead of time. For now, what we have is what we have.

  Soz to jump in Mr Hopper  -  but how about the option to choose the 3 holes from the same course you wish to practice on? At the moment if you opt for '3 hole practice' you are given random selections.

  TBF Icon, I don't know how this works at all, and the vast majority of WGT players don't either.

  I think this response is a little curt on your part TBH. Now you have spelled it out, I understand. Don't assume that we all know the information that you do.

  This specific forum is called Product Suggestions and is designed to ask members what they'd like to see on WGT. Your other responses where fine, this sniffs of you becoming impatiant with the questions and talking to me like a naughty child.

  What we have is great. And six stroke play courses is great. If WGT don't want suggestions there shouldn't be a forum for that purpose.
