  Still shows BD as November on the WGT Virtual Tour Schedule.  Pebble Beach has been completely removed from it.

  Pebble Beach (CTTH) was the January tournament - don't remember any further mentioning.

  The course of Bandon Dunes was announced by WGTWildcat with nine holes Par3 - quite an unusual course for a Major (in November) I'd assume.

  Per Shoe Bandon Dunes is an 18 hole par 3 course. 9 holes chosen by us and 9 holes chosen by WGT.

  So one official statement will be wrong - cf. the first post of this thread.

  Launch as a nine hole course ... St. Andrews "launched" nine holes at a time ... and I think Kiawah did too. 

  So not necessarily wrong on either count ...

  Yeah skip Brandon Dunes then...ask Jack Nickolas if you can do Muirfield Village in Dublin Ohio...he will say ok. Better yet you want a beauty...ask Pete Dye to do his 'Signature Course' in Clarksburg West Virginia!!!! Woe you want cliff tees and caves and creeks surrounding one entire hole with 600 feet deep ravines to hit in a mountainous championship golf course (where the PGA will play one day soon) over a dynamic awesome layout! WHERE IS THE LEVEL 96 BIG BERTHA??? PUT IT AT 93 FOR A SPECIAL MEMORIAL DAY...OOPS I guess we got NOTHING??? pure bs

  we dont need anymore par 3 crap..we want full stroke 18 hole courses..is that too much to ask?

  You would think that all the money spent by US members wgt could come up with more 18 hole courses, there are a hell of alot of courses out there that you can put up.... Step up to the PLATE & put 2 18 hole courses up every year,, It can be done if you want it to be so....

  on that note, pebble is coming this year possibly so would be 2 18 hole courses this year.
