  i was lucky to make the ace on hole 3  i but i diddent pay for  the gamble and skipt it.

  So i wont try it again for credits because lightning never strikes twoo times at the same place.

  But i saved the replay.

  I'm level 79 and to date I still haven't got a HIO, but why do I get the sneaky feeling that the first time I do eventually manage this feat that it will be on this lottery hole?

  As it is, I have nearly got it twice already (out of 5 attempts). I just hope I'm wrong and it doesn't pull a 'Oh look you aced it, maybe you should put a bet on it next time' kind of shot, or am I just being a bit suspicious? :)

  As it stands, the bet pays out 14/1 if you get the HIO, but it wouldn't matter what the prize was, as I am not touching this with a 100 WGT foot stick.

  Little tip for all you gamblers out there. If you set this up as a CC tourny (Pebble Beach Group 1) you can shoot for your HIO with low rather than high wind.

  I just blew 100 creds being 1.2 feet short with a dead straight wind.

  These hole in one challenges seem to be all over the place now, I thought they were just limited to Pebble Beach.

  Odds are pretty bad so after trying it a couple of times I just started to ignore it.  If you play real golf you know how this works....

  One hole on the course gives away a car for an ace.  Sometimes it's just a free part of the tournament but often it is a pay $5, make an ace get a car, inside 5 feet get a dozen balls, inside 10 feet get 25% off in the pro shop.  Don't get any prize we give you a logo ball from the course.

  In this case the odds are much longer and there isn't a 25% off in the pro shop or a free balls for not winning.   Think I'll pass on this one.    Come on WGT how about some cool challenges, a free avatar for an ace on the 18th at Pebble for example, not like it cost you anything and there aren't many aces on that hole.

  Nice thought but only for the avatars they have in stock, not for the Elite item :)

  Seems like every hole that is played from the tee on any CTTH course has the hole-in-one challenge. With the way it is set up now the only way you can win is if you actually get the ace. Even with in 1 foot you still lose most of your stake, Maybe they should consider returning your stake and the credits won,so you would only lose your stake on a shot that did not end up closer than 5 feet. If they did that is seems to me that they would have many more people willing to give it a try.

  Sting you are forgetting   it's a business, and not looking out for the players.

  If you know you are going to lose $$ then the EASY thing to do is NOT PLAY THEM.  SIMPLE.  Even Danmark can realize this??/  Ehhhh???
