  If your already tired of Merion.

  If you already know your not going to make the cut for this years virtual US open.  

  If you can't wait for the next full stroke play course on WGT .. well .. here you go. 

  1. 2014 - Pinehurst #2 - should be available in 12 months
  2. 2015 - Chambers Bay - a new open venue comes on in 2 years
  3. 2016 - The open is at Oakmont - maybe we'll get new pin positions again
  4. 2017 - Erin Hills - a new venue for the open 
  5. 2018 - in 5 yrs we get to play the immortal Skinnycock Hills Golf Club
  6. 2019 - Pebble Beach - in all it's glory
  7. 2020 - Oh Boy --- Winged Foot ...

  Of course I'll be dead by Winged Foot ... but I bet Chris Ironbones still hasn't quit .. :)

  I get to play with 5 all the time.  Wonder what there'll be to whine about  on winged foot.  (presuming its WINGED (whining) not winged as in bird).:)

  So it looks like the new standard for WGT is 1 course a year now. That doesn't bode well.  :-(

  Prices have gone up on balls & equipment, yet courses are going down.  Good business for WGT but bad news for us players  (not even a tru golf course extra)

  well at least it gives me something else to do for the other 10 months of the year.

  no Muirfield / no replacement .....i'll play a lot less ffor sure.

  1 course a year isn't really enough to keep me enthused.

  that's not a punch at WGT......it's just how i see things.

  2 hd courses a year shouldn't be too much to ask.....they don't even have to be championship courses.....any decent ones would do.

  It would be nice to move Pebble Beach up to replace Oakmont in the listing but I don't see it happening.

  It seems that the negotiating with the courses holding the British have been part of the hang up, if so let's get the PGA on here instead of the Open.  Whatever it takes to get us two quality courses each year at a minimum.

  Each of those two should come with at least two sets of pins as well.
