  Having been a member of WGT for some time now, I must say it's getting boring....

   

  Only being able to play to courses is not what I was hoping to see when I first joined WGT. Endless rounds of closest to the hole challenges are driving me crazy, we have these nice courses why can't we play them in strokeplay mode?

   

  Please add more courses so play becomes more interesting for members of all levels.  Is there a specific reason why WGT can't add more courses? Perhaps they can increase revenue by placing sponsor signs throughout the course like they do in real golf tournaments....

  i think the same, if we can play closest why don´t play a stroke play? its surrealist. someone of the team of WGT should contest this question please. thanks

  Goodness gracious, what's "surrealist" about it?    It's certainly disappointing there are only 2 stroke-play courses, but if they haven't assembled any other courses yet, except for 9 shots & their possible outcomes in those CTTH challenges, what can you do? I'm sure if you have a spare $1 million available & donate it to WGT, we're going to see a new stroke-play course pretty fast. A forum poster has just recently argued it must cost well over a quarter million dollars to produce a new stroke-play course for this game.

  You make a good point nvanduyn about inserting advertisements in the courses, like Rolex. I understand it takes countless hours to photograph a course, with aerial shots, and more.

   Like Faterson said, $250.000 is a lot of money per stroke play course.

  It's tough to come up with that kind of money, when cost upgrades on average per person is some where between $2 and $12, or there about.

  Keep the input coming on this topic, there could be an epiphany.
