alanti: what does concern me was the side venture in baseball and whether this has sucked money away from WGT
When you consider there was no new HD Open course last year, and the money had to have been budgeted to shoot one, so you've got extra $Ms to pocket or re-invest I think the answer alanti is obvious. They chose to re-invest in a baseball game.
So here's a question for all of you. The deal to photograph Royal Lytham couldn't be made. What if they could have made a deal for a TruGolf version of Royal Lytham and then paid TruGolf for the course "photos" so RL would be a free Open course. No greens fee. Then hold a Virtual Open, etc.
Would that have been more acceptable than no Open course? Knowing of course a HD version was out of the question.
