  Good afternoon WGT.

  There are several golf courses that would be perfect for inclusion:

  Gary Player country club @suncity

  Fancourt GC

  Mowbray GC

  What would the procedure be for any of these to be part of WGT ?

   

  Best wishes

  Good luck Curt, Great courses but unless you want to play for the WGT team to photograph them (all expenses), I can't  see it happening. Although it is World Golf Tour, the emphasis has been on US Open Courses and when possible, the Open Courses. SA and Australia do not seem to fit the bill.

  What it entails is exactly what I am trying to find out [ assume no difficulty with $$ ]

  Thanks for the replies. My daughter sitting on the back of my caddie cart with a camcorder is just not going to cut it !! LOL. The you tube video was very informative - Thank you. What is the $ cost from start to playable on WGT. It is a wonderfull marketing tool and I think some of the more exclusive clubs in SA would consider it from that perspective.

  I note some legend players have dollar winnings listed. At what stage does one stop earning credits and start earning dollars?

  Thanks for fantastic entertainment. [ golfers are pobably the only species who would spend money on equipment that doesn't exist - don't even try to explain the concept to your wife !!! ]

  Half a million $

  Not real dollars. That's the credit equivalent you're seeing. Every 100credits won is $1 in earnings.

  LOL Thats how I felt, played a year until I upgraded, as I kept saying, how can I justify spending real money on pixels that I don't even own! I wish I had upgraded earlier with hindsight.

  I have been lucky enough to play a few courses in SA and personally know that many courses would make great WGT courses. I even made enquiries at the club I belong to, but was obvious the majority of members would not want to lose its exclusivity. I feel whilst this would benefit many clubs, the red tape and legal logistics must be a minefield.
