  Alanti  ~~~~  Nice job with the list.    Suggestion:  (if it hasn't already been made)    Could we get through to WGT that they should paint the flagpoles @ Merion with some bright florescent yellow paint.   Zooming in & out on approach shots is a hassle.  Thanks again for all your work   --  just dandy

  Is there also something we can do about the players who frequently quit the game?

  Can you tell if it is intentional, or like my case, where the service is so poorI often get disconnected 5 times in a 9 hole game.

  Where r u thairan, 'cos up north where I am 3BB give me 10MB ADSL for 661 Baht per month, and my friend down the road has similar. We have no complaints about speed or game loading or disconnects over and above the norm.

  I'm in Issan---I'm paying for 10mb, but often get only 0.4mb which is a far cry from 10. Impossible to play, and don't want to lose my 'consecutive games'. Nowhere else to go, altho 3G BB is supposed to be available around April.

  I haven't read through all 33 pages so  this may have been previously suggested.

  As it looks like we are only getting one new full 18 hole course this year (par 3 pitch and putt course does not count as a full course) would it be possible to have new/alternative pin positions for R.S.G. and Olympic. As far as I'm aware, every other course has at least 2 alternative pin positions except for these.

  Please and thank you

  For the love of god man get a life, think of all the good you could be doing for others instead of compiling an endless list of nonsense, no wonder the world is in the state that it is.

  Great work Alanti, a fantastic compilation, and also good to see WGT involved. It would also be wonderful if the programmers could come here & add their advice too.

  Here's one of my suggestions, I'm adding to this thread.

  As far as MORE player interest is concerned, an easy way to create a lot more stroke play games, would be to extend the four WGT compilations we've already got.

  WGT Hardest I, II & III.

  Likewise for WGT Famous, Par 5 & Par 3.

  We could also enjoy a WGT Par 4 round, & WGT Blitz/CTTH bunkers only.

  An extra nine+ games would be amazing for all of us, plus as a Business, it would retain more players.

  As a CC owner, I can tell you that in the year & a half I've been running two CCs, I have removed hundreds of players. They have just walked away.  Hundreds of them, and I am only one person.  It's very easy to verify this critical aspect by checking out the majority of player activity in the Global Top 50 CCs.  

  Top CCs even have members who have not played since 2012 !

  Player interest needs to be upgraded & retained.

  Give this some serious thought WGT, and consider the cost effective simplicity of this move, and especially the ongoing financial payoff by keeping more players interested.

  Cheers 4 now, Craig

   I'd like to see WGT put more energy into giving us more variations in the competitions.

  They could organise club v club tournaments, something along the lines of the Time Zones Golf Club League, now coming up to it's second running. see link218251.aspx.  

  A club owners tournament similar to this one:  ClubOwnersLeague

  Why don't we have more than one set of holes in CTTH putting?

  Why don't WGT give us more pin positions on more greens?

  Why am I even mentioning doing something about the cheats?

  "Tie - Breaker"  ----  WGT: isn't there a way you can set up a sudden death play-off round when there is a tie for first place.  The The Transamerica Classic is a perfect example.  For a major tournament, I think it wouldn't be that hard to set up a program where they would play the 18th hole, then the 9th hole & so on like they do in the PGA or start at the first hole till we have a clear cut winner.  Sure would make WGT a little more like "real golf".  --  just dandy
