  WGT,

   

       Closest to the pin is not playing new courses!  Those who play golf know this!  You need to open more courses more quickly to complete play; stroke, match, etc.  What's the problem?  When will you open more courses to full play?  If you've got closest shot play, what's the big deal about going all the way?  The game is getting boring without new courses for the full range of play.  Again, closest to the pin is not playing the course!

  Dread to think, maybe they think Bandon Dunes and a crappy CTTH course will satisfy the masses for another year!!

  I don't get why WGT does not understand that 80% or even more of the players here want full stroke courses and not CTTH!!!!!

  Sure it would be great if every course were full stroke 18 holes but it takes a lot of money to shoot and produce a full 18 hole course. It was 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars 5 years ago just think what that price has raised to by now.

  $500K in 2008 is $541K in 2013.  Less than a 10% increase.
