  Such games are also some sort of practice area...

  ...which brings the idea of a CTTH-like "longest drive" contests to my mind.

  I'd appreciate ranked Skins games w/o wagers. Thus a friendly Skins game will be fair by positioning each player on his appropriate tee. In practice mode, a better player has an advantage at this point.

  After watching Tiger try and hit out of that bunker this morning, I had another idea.

  How about an option to pick-up the ball or take a drop option?

  It may not necessarily stop players from quitting altogether when hitting into a bunker at St. Andrews, or the deep rough at Bethpage, but some of the players with integrity may very well use this option.

  FWIW, Tiger should have taken the stroke penalty, and picked that ball up.

  It wasn't an option. Graeme McDowell did it right.

  I'd like to know if there is a specific time-frame for the release of the next TruGolf course and whether we can have any clues to what that course will be. And when this Q&A session will actually take place ;).

  Jack.

  Tiger did have an option to take an unplayable lie in the bunker.  He would have had to go back to the tee to play or drop in the bunker.  He probably didn't want to drop in the bunker because it would probably plus so he would have been playing four out of a plugged lie and made double bogey.  I'm sure he never gave a thought to just chipping to a flat area in the bunker, he could have turned his wedge around and done this easily if he didn't have room for a stance.  He has that superman ego and can't stand having to take a penalty, he always believes he can overcome whatever the issue is ..... in the bunker I'm sure he felt he could get it on the green and make the putt for a par even though it was impossible.

  In terms of the ball Scott had in the rough moving, I felt he should be penalized and I think the announcers did as well.  When he took several practice swings and stood never the ball it started to move, he then walked away and the ball actually finished it's move.  I think that he felt that he got an unfair advantage and it threw him off his game for the rest of the round.

  Anyway it was great to see Els win, he is one of the great people and players in golf.

  hmmm our commentators certainly felt differently and they and i were glad he was not penalised. the ball certainly did not move on his practise swings, the bbc showed it at 1000fps. They also changed the rule a year ago, which does relax the addressing issue (if you moved something within 1 club length of the ball you were penalised, this rule has been relaxed), however even under the old rules, i believe the right decision was made, i certainly do not think Scott thought he had an unfair advantage....... however not a fan of his belly putter, but i do like him:)

  anywho lets at least try and keep 1 thread on topic.....

  Oleson executed the exact same shot yesterday to save par.

  Hi  WGTICON

   

          i think this forum is neat and i just thought i would through in a comment about the alt shot format that we have ,  i like what we have and have not played more than a 9 hole alt shot game so not sure what the 18 hole setup is.

  I was thinking it would be neat for wgt players or other players playing in that game format to throw in to the 18 hole alt shot format..1 hole that gives a reward for the shot ctth with a bonus award for that hole..... and also 1 hole that has a bonus award trophy whatever for the longest drive in the 18 hole alt shot format just a suggestion.

  thanks:)
