    I am assuming without having done a product or game update it was not possible to load this months tournament and sponsor? Do you even have a sponsor or are you running around Sunday morning still trying to find one?

    I know its only a day or 2 and we have the entire month to play, so not a huge deal. I probably won't post a first round score for a week or so anyhow. However, this is the virtual tour. It is suppose to be the pinnacle of WGT and as of right now there is no tourney, the Golf Channel Leader Board is empty and linkless, when you click on the monthly tour in the Virtual Tour section, it just says sorry there is no tournament available this month, effectively looking as if the Tour is dead. 

    To me it just looks really unprofessional, but the way things have been round here in the last few weeks, I am not entirely surprised.

    Well Done WGT, you made it through 5 months of the tour without any major issues

    ... perhaps there was a sudden realization that the Tru-Golf contract for Whistler doesn't allow for unlimited free play for 3+ weeks and no green fees?

    Thanks for flagging up the tourney's absence!

    I was wondering that myself, but that is an easy fix.  Just give us another course for this month, while you sort that out. If you never sort it out then put Oakmont in the mix, as i don't see it in the schedule.

    Not to mention, as Woodo points out in another thread, WGT has not added any News updates since the 22nd. They have been pretty much non existent. Like they went on Memorial Day holiday and never came back

    We may be looking in the wrong place. Remember the first tourney in the Virtual Tour was CTTH @ Pebble Beach. Maybe June @ Whistler is CTTH as well.(Edit) No it's not there either.

    that image/note is an update in itself - it wasn't that way a few days ago - so someone is doing work somewhere - selective as it may be :(

    Come on guy's give wgt some slack, yes they can't seem to handle these disconnect problems, but its a SUNDAY, they're all probably relaxing some where.  It will probably be done tomorrow when every one is back at work (unless Icon might work 7 days a week 24, 7?? Who knows?)

    Being Sunday means nothing Chris, to my knowledge.  Look at the monthlies, they are all there.

    From what I can tell,  tourneys just need to be put into the system with the various info and on the start date entered the tourney starts. Maybe not that simple but all the June freebies and premiums are there and probably loaded automatically at whatever time.

    I think the problem is either with tru-golf or the fact they did no update in May. With these tour events, I think they need to do a downtime to load the sponsor and their ball and maybe some other things.

    Other thing is, we is the community, always give WGT slack. We have no choice. Its there game and they do as they like and we get very little feedback from them on things. The peeps here in the forums comprise a very small percentage of the client base. We are the die hards, the people who love this game and just want to see it even better than it is. So you think they would come in here from time to time and let us know whats going on, just a little.

    Lets say they have to be at the headquarters to kick this thing off.  How many Sundays in the year land on the 1st? 1 maybe 2. So mean to tell me a handful of programmers and other people can't work 1 Sunday out of the year?

    Anyhow, I don't normally even get involved with stuff like this or say anything, but lately reading the forums has become tedious. Tons of posts of people having issues and not one word.  It doesn't matter if you have the fix yet or not, just acknowledge it. Like this event. I already seen Icon respond to a different post today. Why not just pop on and say hey guys, just ironing some things out with the tour event, should be up in the next couple days. Probably just get a bunch of "thanks for the heads up Icon"

    That's really my point, could careless if the even is there or not, cuz i wouldnt have played it today anyhow.

    Yes thats true the forums are heaving with complaints by loads of players but its like its been brushed under the carpet for us  to just carry on as normal.

    Yes, i thought their job WAS to respond to forums, but it just seems the Mods are getting very selective with the posts they choose to answer. If you're a newbie wanting to know how to purchase stuff you get a response nearly INSTANTLY, but anything to do with all the complaints they seem to be ignored.  Plenty of players enjoy having a read in the forums and will respond to posts, its not too dificult is it??  And we're just players.  You're right, a response from the mods here and there on important issues like this (no TOUR) should be normal practice, but as Its been shown in the past, WGT don't do normal.  But in their defense, they will respond to e-mails quicker than forums if you have a problem
