  I think its reasonable to expect WGT to provide a 2nd full 18 course this year and new pins on a couple of existing courses.   I explained why in this post I recently made:

  how about the next time WGT jump on a plane to go photograph a course.....they board via the International Departure Lounge. It's always US Fkn HD courses we get. This place is so top heavy with US courses.

  Sure I'm fk'd off at not getting a British Open for the 2nd consecutive year BUT any non US course in HD would suffice.

  If I had one wish....WGT would lose their agreement with the USGA for a few years so that they might just get off their jacksies and go find other countries to photograph in HD.

  Perhaps you should voice your complaint to The R & A?  It is obvious to me the USGA has more influence with the chosen US Open clubs than The R & A has with its nine Open clubs.

  why the R&A?

  i'm not that selfish that i'd want UK courses instead of US courses.

  just this place is top heavy with US courses that's all.

  how about Australia, Germany, Spain, France, Holland or any other country with a decent course.

  The point you're ignoring is: Right now the ratio of US to World HD full courses is 6 to 2.  It wouldn't be as top heavy with Royal Lytham & St Annes and Muirfield. And that is where The R&A comes into play.

  But we can agree on the need for additional full HD courses outside the UK and US.  There's some great courses in Texas for example.  ;o)

  wgt probably never even bothered contacting muirfield.

  ring ring.....ring ring......hang up. "sorry guys we tried to get muirfield on board but couldn't reach an agreement"

  same old bullshyte.

  also i'm not ignoring things.

  i couldn't give a wet dream about UK courses and the R&A are a bunch of former public schoolboy tossers, so far up their own a$$pipes.

  but we do need hd courses from other countries.

  yes i'm pi$$ed at not getting muirfield and now couldn't give a fk about UK courses because they don't seem to be on WGT's agenda.

  so it's time to move on and get courses from other countries outside of the UK & USA.

  let's give players from other countries a chance of playing some of their own country's courses instead of being fed US course after US course and even UK course for that matter.

  Well it is a US based golf game, which might explain a few things.   Some of the best courses in the world are down here in Australia.

  Not forgetting too...  some of the sponsors that Wgt has are also global and yet we Downunder can't enter or win prizes that are US based.

  Just Saying......lol
