  Why is it that if you live in Australia and you work 6 days a week from 7am to 4pm 

  That when the course is under Reconstruction when you get home in the evenings 

  So you end up going to bed before you can play a round 

  Then go to work the next day 

  When you finally get to play the next afternoon you are penalized for nonconsecutive days played loosing all your extra bonus points and getting a massif 14 points for a closest to the hole game 

  It's hard enough to get enough points to up level as it is without this happening    

  
  

  What does everone else think   do you agree

  
  

  Cheers Pete

  Sounds like you are a victim of an unlucky time zone, as it compares to WGT's usual update schedule. If you could somehow find the time to play a CTTH or a random 3 holes on those days before or during your workday is about the only solution you are likely to get.

  or as someone has so nicely pointed out in another post:

  from your regular home page go to the wgt community tab, select courses, pick any course then select 1 hole to play, then your done, takes about 5 minutes

  Play one hole

  Top of this page , see " WGT Community "   place your pointer there , click on golf corses , pick a course , click play hole , I pick a par 3 hole . Play that one hole and you get your Cons days played

  Unless it's a major update taking 3-4 hours, that downtime is usually not that long or that often. Don't give up when you first see it, look back a few times.

  Unfortunately the downtime is in the evenings for Australia, beginning around 6 pm and ending around 10 - 11 PM EST

  Most of the time they are 3 - 4 hours.

  Playing a single hole is all well and good, if WGT were to announce the downtime a few days before hand rather than a few hours before.

  And.. due to Australia being way down on the list of users, under the US, Canada, UK, India etc - we have to put up with it.
