  Considering all of the upgrades that WGT has done to make this site/game more enjoyable, the next logical step, would be to change pin placement. If you have played a course many times, you can almost shoot with your eyes closed. All real courses, swap pin placement. So, It's time you do the same. Your site, strives to make the experience as real as possible, and as such, this would be the next thing to work out.

  hi

  we do have plans to add new pins to rsg and perhaps cabo/whistler... but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

  Why don't you work getting the yardages straight. There is so many glitches in your program it is funny. Also make it were the clubs you use are what the yardage is suppose to be on them. Stop picking winners for a game and let players try to win it their self. I was in a game with another player and we got booted because of and error. Said she won 7 skins. We were only on 3rd hole. We finish the game and guess what she won  7 skins LOL. Tells me that you pick a winner in every game because it has happen a few times. If you don't want people to know that you need to fix your glitches.

  54 yards to the pin and the shot comes in at 52 yards with 1 dot of check backspin.Spins back into the water at 43 yards.Therefore the distance to the pin from the water is 11 yards.

  This shot is 42 yards to pin therefore I assumed to clear the water 31 yards are needed.39 yard flop shot no backspin loses 8 yards somehow and goes 71 yards. What is the answer??

  From : http://www.wgt.com/help.aspx#equipclubs

  Avg. Distance: Displays the average distance the ball will travel when hit at full strength on a flat surface and with no wind.

  Wind direction/speed, elevation difference between point where ball is struck and where it lands, landing point slope, fairway/rough/green, stroke length, dinged or not dinged stroke, are all factors that affect shot distance.

  You also have to consider golf ball characteristics, because that also effects the actual distance.

  In other words, the distances a club is rated at can only be an approximation,

  When you consider the size of some of the greens for example at St Andrews, a few new pin placements wouldn't go a miss, hole 11 the par 3, a massive green and only

  What I like to know is why is it so difficult to change the pins anyway?
