  Golf courses are traditionally measured in yards, it's unlikely WGT is going to change anything any time soon.

  Really though, what does it matter?   The numbers are what counts and they're all the same unit of measurement.  Whether it's yards, meters or elephant's tails makes no difference.

  No difference? What if that elephant comes back looking for his tail?

  It's the feet and inches that make it tricky for metric users.

  12 inches = 1 foot

  3 feet = 1 yard

  1 yard = 0.9144 meter.

  'A miss is as good as 1.609 kilometres' isn't quite as catchy as it's imperial equivalent, hehe.

  WGTICON my suggestion is make it real. I have tried to play numerous tournaments only to find that there are some many times when the ball doesn't go where or far enough to my swing. It's obvious there are some problems with the programming of your VEM and i just wanted you to know that.

  Why not stick to the subject or did you just come here to flash your ***?
