  +1 I dont know why we cant have Pebble . Its open for RGs , so why not stroke play? The same with Manele , if they are going to spend the money on doing a course, spend it to do every form of game mode and not just CTTH. Even though I do play them from time to time, the CTTH  courses are a waste of money , and time . My 2 cents. Happy Swinging

  The Augusta petition was DOA and everyone knows it.

  In terms of Pebble Beach, it appears that while WGT shot the two CTTH courses, they were not allowed to shoot the full course during the last Open at PB.

  You probably should read the FAQs and learn the difference between what is needed for CTTH and stroke play, it is night and day.  I think the US Open is scheduled for PB once again in 2019.  I do believe that we are scheduled to be played on Oakmont in 2016, since we already have that, maybe we will get PB in it's place.

  Many of us do like the CTTH courses, it's a great quick game.  However I would say that I don't think WGT should spend the bucks to do only a CTTH course, if you select and negotiate with a course go ahead and do the full thing.
