  The #1 online golf game with 18 famous courses including Merion, Pebble and St Andrews

  I love how they consider a 9 shot game as a golf course, pfft..

  I'd give away all the CTTH "courses" for 4 more full strokeplay courses, wouldn't you?

  just imagine how great it would be to have an 18 hole match
  with your friends on pebble, instead of those stupid 9 ctth shots.

  I mean they're already THERE! at one of the most beautiful
  and challenging courses out there, so why not shoot the whole damn thing??
  so frustrating :(

  and yet as much as we all want pebble as stroke play,
  we all know that'll never happen.

  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,Maybe just maybe WGT will think about this more,now that they may have some competition on the way...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8aDjjQ6E4U

  also looks like you'd have to download and install some stuff to play it.

  have to say, when it comes to wgt, the key selling point for me
  was the "no hassle" part of downloading and  installing stuff
  or needing a strong machine to run the game.
  you can play wgt from just about anywhere,
  all you need it a browser and an internet connection,
  just wish they'd listen more to their customers
  and go out and shoot us some new full strokeplay courses.

  TGO won't touch WGT. TGO does however look better than TWO.

  Nothing tops WGTs HD courses. It is disappointing that WGT is only going to introduce one full stroke-play HD course a year. 

  I never understood why WGT wouldn't create any HD course, from anywhere in the world. They all can't be saying, no, we don't want our course shot in HD.

  I don't know this to be true and don't want to be guilty of starting false rumors. I don't think Lou intended his post to be that, either, I just read it as conciliatory and the thought struck me that he might be right.  WGT hasn't said they won't, I'm just making a broad assumption based on the past and WGT's seemingly status quo stance.

  Personally, I think it would suck to have to wait another year.
