  I think that WGT should enable players to slice or draw the ball so that way we can put it closer to the pin even with 20 mph sidewinds

  Although there is no option for this shot, you can work the ball from the right or from the left, on purpose, by hitting before or after the white line. You need to practice this so you'll have some idea how this technique works with the clubs and balls you use. Don't expect great precision, after all, you are missing the ding on purpose, but it can be done.

  I don't think that's what the OP meant...

  Using  Olympic as an example...If there's a right to left wind on # 10 you can't fade the ball around the trees. On # 16 with a left to right wind you can't draw your tee shot or your second shot.

  I'm using the examples from the back tees...

  Screen shot taken at Olympic. You can fraw and fade tee shots with the driver and 3 wood.

  I think the OP wants a legit Draw/Fade, not some forced deviation crap.

  The ball does curve not just go straight left or right. To me that's a workable draw or fade. It doesn't work with irons on the fairway but it's better than hitting it into the trees instead of bending it around them. 4th hole on CCC and up to 3 holes on Olympic I use it to hit fairways with the driver.

  I'd want the opportunity to Draw/Fade other than with my Driver or 3 wood.

  What Joey is referring to is an intentional controlled pull or push and it works very similar to a draw or fade. And once you get the hang of it it works almost as well as a draw or fade.

  I would really like to see the dot on the ball for putting. Being able to get that extra roll or using a little back-spin on those down-hill putts would be a thing of beauty to use. I'm just saying......
