  Wouldn't it be super fantastically brilliant if you logged on to Wgt 1 day in early 2014 and there was all 5 courses from that complex available to play. I'd be like a kid in a candy store with the excitement and so would every other player on this site.  

  I agree... having played two of those courses in reality.  But I have to add:  Wouldn't it be equally great if you opened your mail in early 2014 and found a bill from WGT charging you $1000 for the extremely expensive implementation of those 5 courses?

  Just trying to keep things real... not raining on anyone's golf course/parade.

  From the newws page:

  Bandon Dunes has decided to create a 9-hole, par-3 course based on players' favorite par-3’s at the Resort. So they’re letting players vote on which of their favorite holes will be included. The 9 par-3 holes that get the most votes will be launched in early 2014 on WGT as a full stroke play course, free of charge.

  I am with dazza on  this one. The par 3 courses are fun, but still not the same as a full 18 stroke play. Another disappointing announcement.

  *Sigh*

  this sums up my thoughts

  This is their business, if they cant afford to be in business they should sell to someone who can.

  If we are only getting 1 new course a year instead of the two we used to, what the heck are they doing with the money they are making and how are they spending their time?

  I mean really.  By now I would think that they know how to use the photos that they have and are not struggling with something new.  Few new courses, new equipment that isn't really worth getting if you have the R11's or G20's.  Avatars?  Who wants to SPEND money to advertise for Lexus or the Golf Channel?  I don't, they should pay me to use the avatar.  As far as avatars go, make them so that we can personalize them and not have to spend $3000 to do so.  I imagine that there is a trunk load of cash that WGT is missing out on. Just think if we could purchase watches, hats, shirts, ect. to personalize our avatars.

  WGT please listen to the paying customers and you will prosper beyond your imagination.
