  3 courses a year should be mandatory for WGT.

  At least a us open course..a British open course. And a US Woman's Open course.

  Then you could throw in a couple of True-Golf courses.

  True-Golf courses should perhaps be for areas in the world it would be to expensive to photograph.  Or courses that would'nt be hurt to much visually by using thew True Golf build.

  Melbourne would be a good choice as it meets 3 criteria:

  Expensive to photograph

  The terrain isnt so rugged that using tru golf technology wouldnt compleatly ruin it

  And it's a famous course

  I think the intent when TruGolf came on board was to add the US Open course, the British Open course and a couple of TruGolf courses each year.

  Unfortunately according to WGT each of those courses still require a negotiation withe the course itself, not just the USGA and R&A.  This past year the British Open course would not come to an agreement and hence we lost that course.

  Since many of the US Open and British Open courses are on a rotation, for example St Andrews comes up every 5 years, Pinehurst and Pebble Beach every 10, I'm not sure what will happen when we start to have a course come up that we already have.

  With the "Best Of' courses available, plus putting challenges, CTTH, etc. it would be nice to get the 2 Open or a PGA course each year and at least 2 TruGolf coursese.

  Personally I don't care, as I never play the two we have now. They just seem so Disneyfied to me.

  I wouldn't mind the "phoned-in" graphics they offer, if the breaks on the green were actually fixed to be true to what's shown. With that said, I would just add Valderamma to the above list of choices.

  Don't play them much since they refuse to fix the unreal putting.

  What`s going on with a new Trugolf Course? Very disappointing....

  I have not looked over the list yet but another ocean course (Melbourne/other) would be neat and relaxing to play.

  And why do they need to take 1,000's of pictures on some of these courses, if True Golf already has them on file?

  They do sell a lot of simulators for a variety of courses already.

   

  Merry Christmas!

  Because if they just used what trugolf had on file then the course would look like a trugolf course and not a HD course like all the others that WGT has produced.

  Wow, I thought they used the same ingredients to produce both. So WGT courses are more real then TruGolf . Makes me think twice about buying a golf simulator. I guess that's why Cabo looks so much like the Sunday funnies.
