  we shouldn't even bother wasting our breath mate.

  wgt obviously don't give a sherman tank what non US members think.

  Ain't that the truth. They even give out times of things in California time, how long would it take them to add GMT? After all it's what all the zones are based on. Take the recent shot-pal fiasco. They only announced it when the Yanks were getting up, three quarters of the world were wondering what was going on until it was announced as a Father's Day gift.

  Not quite true . We get treated with the same total disregard as the rest  of the players . We arent getting a new course either , much to our dismay . Why is it that Pebble Beach is open for RGs , but not for stroke play . Instead of wasting money on 9 holes for CTTH , shoot the whole course for stroke play , and develop other course formats from there . Oh remember the Masters weekend free rental , when it took players posting a heads up in the forums , so everyone would know . Also you would think that by now , WGT would have the ability , to design and install its own courses , instead of using Tru- Golf courses. So you see , we all are getting the big let down , not just the players , across the water . My 2 cents. Happy Swinging:-)

  That's a different story. PB has been a CTTH in the Olde Days, I kept the link to it.

  Now they revived it, but there still ain't more than a CTTH available, in RG or open play. No news to expect before 2019 (US Open @Pebble).

  Actually I don't see it solely as Non-US members being ignored, I see it as all members being ignored. Requests of courses, product features etc are all too often ignored and certainly never acknowledged whether or not they are deemed for implementation or deemed for the trash. We simply do not know.

  Obviously as a US based company, the costs associated with producing an off-shore course would increase significantly. That said there are hundreds of great courses around the world (many that have suffered as a consequence of the economic downturn) that would love the exposure this game would bring, therefore could be a win-win situation for both parties.In such cases, The term "a deal can be done" springs to mind.

  The Open courses in many cases will be very hard, if not impossible to secure (due to the clubs) so MisterWGT, I think it high time you started thinking outside of the box.

  I have this theory.....

  When it's time for Chad & Co to contact the R&A or the British Open course in question to strike up that initial point of contact to initiate some kind of test the waters rapport....I think it goes some thing like this...

  " Ring....Ring..................Ring...Ring"......"OK we'll take that as a no then."

  "Sorry guys.....we tried our hardest to make things happen but couldn't reach an agreement"

  Question tto WGT.

  "Do you intend to bang us 3 yrs on the trot?"

  The reason I ask this is because my ar$e is still sore from last year.

  Sure there's some Heinz 57 Best of Par 3 whatever the heck the place is called...coming out next Feb/March.

  Take that jumble of dictated crap and RAM it.

  And while yer at it....remove both thumbs from Old Smokey and go photograph some other decent course in HD and give members what they want or this site will slide.

  You're walking on a fine line.....

  i.e New Par 3 Course due out in Feb / March......that's a long way away.

  Perfect Parallel's going live this Fall (so they say)....which ain't too far away.

  If they do go live....you can expect to see interest in this game take a sizeable hit....if PP turns out to be 1/2 as good as those initial vids.

  Stop taking your loyal members too much for granted. It's will only got belly up.

  No problem Madam. It's something I learned in this " stalled turgid little country, "  as you described it. I think it's called 'manners' !!
