  Just out of curiosity, and for those who cant make it. If some of the questions in this thread do get asked, is there somebody who is going to put the answers up?

  Some enterprising type might figure out how to video that hour and post it.  :-)

  Another question: Will there be a practice "DING" swing implemented. I know some people wouldn't use it, but it could be turned off or on in the settings.

  When will Country Clubs have the same Game options, (or as near as) as the main menu on the game page, ie: The option to create Match Play tourneys,  Alternate Shot Tourney's, etc. That function would be nice.

  My issue is the questions to be answered will be vetted first and all the important ones to   us will be overlooked or laughed off.

  Chad,

  1)      A couple of other issues related to development of new HD courses. While we are not privy to the financial arrangements between WGT, the course or club, and the golfing organization (such as the USGA or R&A), some overview of how this works might help WGT members to understand better how the course development works.

  2)      The US Open and British Open venues are oftentimes extremely private clubs, so that the golf club itself has no interest in generating greens fees from its cooperation with WGT. But there is a very real business opportunity, it seems to me, for the leading golf resorts to have their courses developed in HD for WGT. It is great advertising for their courses, and you can imagine that lots of WGT members would want to play those courses in real life. We have a couple of these resort courses in the Trugolf format, but why not--for example--develop Wolf Creek in full HD? It would be a win/win for WGT and for the resort operator in a way that would not be true for an exclusive private club with a long waiting list for membership. Here there would be just two parties involved: WGT and the resort operator.

   

  Thanks!

  good post ..

  it would be interesting to me to understand WGT's capital formation & how they plan to expand the game and platform .. i believe WGT can be considered a fledgeling company still in the process of consolidating its financial foundation & expansion opportunities ..

  i understand it's not a listed company & that equity is held privately ? which makes it unlikely that they would disclose their financial position to the public at large .. as is their right of course ..

  i also understand that most of the profits generated are absorbed into equity & not necessarily distributed amongst shareholders in order to enable WGT to expand its platform & diversity of gaming ..

  this is merely my estimate from what i've picked up off the forums .. so i assume it would be safe to say that WGT subscribes to sound financial management priciples build on generally accepted accounting practise ?

  just wondering as someone who's in that line of work myself ..

  Correct. I wouldn't expect them to disclose any details, but it seems there are sources to bring more HD courses into the pipeline without relying solely on the tie-up with the USGA or the R&A (to the extent that we can hope the R&A returns).

  The reason we did not get the Lytham & St. Anne's course this year could be that the R&A is not on-board for the long haul, or maybe as simple as the members not wanting their club to be computerized and digitized and so on (which I would understand, if you are a golf purist).

  We understand that the PGA and August National are tied in with the Tiger Woods game, at least for some time, but there are other tours out there that are untapped: the European Tour, the Asian Tour etc.
