  LOL, Over 300 millions people here and you make an assumption based the answers of a half dozen LOL, there are people here who don't know the Vice Presidents name, there are also people who can't spell "home", but it is the exception not the "rule"!!

  Take no offense, but every country in the world has done a comedy sketch at 1 time or another talking to Americans.

  All good points, and expansion to other "Worlds" would be interesting. What I find of greater interest is a different perspective focused upon the cost and an assumption that considers the red-tape and difficulty involved with the machinery, tools, time and people, along with the transportation of all. Having said that, I should think "Palm Springs" (Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, etc,) with over 120+ golf courses, most very top notch, would be a perfect location to expand because of the obvious expense reduction afforded due to such a small geographical area and the crystal clear, always sunny, no rain conditions that would erase any down-time completely.

  None taken as I am aware that for every 1 person in that clip 20 more were edited out of it, prolly told him to F'off, besides, no one makes more fun of Americans than the American media, and no one takes us for bigger fools than our own politicians.....LOL

  I don't see the need to step on anyones country, citizens don't make policy Governments do and I don't like a lot of our policies!

  Now I DO say bad things about your country, not the people, but I am totally in favor of some sort of barrier to keep this G'Dam cold air moving in again tonight up there,,,geeeesus, we send you nice warm air you would think you would show some appreciation.

  golf channel's involvement might just open many previously closed doors. Hope remains ;)

  Good reply.  I've noticed things are changing.

  In Australia we were not eligible to enter a few big prize comps, not for gambling regulations(we have none...lol) but because of sponsor driven golf trips in the US or we could enter but not eligible to win the top prize.

  Some of these Sponsors are Global as well.  Why not have a golf trip as a prize in your own country, if the Sponsors are there as well.

  This might sound silly, but I've stopped buying products from these companies because of it...   I know what ya's thinking....lol

  Let's face it, there are idiots in every country, America certainly doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity.

  For whatever reason though whenever you see a video like these it's always Americans being made to look stupid.  And as already pointed out, I bet for every one person who stayed on the video, several were deleted.

  America gets a lot of crap thrown at it for it's world police attitude but I don't think many would argue that most action is taken with good intention.

  I'm off to watch Team America again.

  America!  F**k yeah!

  I think, in the next 5 years a company out side from America will opening a new golf game. For shure. I know a lot of players, they are asking for a alternative of WGT. 

  Money and intersting people are around. A company in Asia or Europe with a nice customer concept can earning a good charge of money.

  Hi all!

  Since Royal St George no other course outside America (including TruGolf Whistler and Cabo Del Sol, who are in America...)...

  Most of the best course in the world are NOT in America... Even if the US golf course are probably the hardest in the world (due to their unplaying greens, most of the time), some great course are abroad... I know US citizens are not very aware there is an outside world, but THERE IS ONE!!!lol

  So I would suggest some new courses in Africa, Asia and Europe :

  Doha in Qatar

  Blackstone (Incheon) in South Korea

  Sentosa Island in SINGAPORE

  Fanling in Hong Kong

  Lake Malaren in China

  Leopard Creek  and Royal Durban (very tough one!) in South Africa

  Kuala Lumpur G&CC in Malaysia

  Kingston Heath, Lake Karinyup and Royal Melbourne in Australia

  Golf National (St Quentin en Yvelines near Paris) in France (tough one isn't it Mr Bubba Watson?)

  Valderrama in Spain (with a kind thinking for Seve..), probably the toughest course in the world if windy...

  Wentworth in England (another very tough one with his 2 finishing par 5...)

  Carnoustie in Scotland (for Links' fans)

  You see, not only in America are located some very interesting golf course...

  This selection is random, and I am sure ther are more beautiful, interesting and difficult course in the world, but look at these ...

  Friendly

  Sir I think that it is time for your geography lesson. Whistler is in Canada and Cabo is in Mexico - not America !! Both countries have many courses that could grace WGT. And yes there are a multitude of courses outside North America that we would love to see added to the menu. Any Addition would be most welcome !!
