  I know theres a forum for courses but i thought i would ask on here as often discussions with reliable sources on this one. Anyone think "second best of par 3s, 4s and 5s" would be an idea, just to break it up a bit, no reason why WGT cant, is there?

  Personally, I don't much like the Par 3/4/5 setup.

  If we must have variation within the current courses, I think it would be better to have more along the lines of Best of Hardest/Famous, and maybe have a "Random 9/18" from all available courses, so you would never know what was coming until you were on the tee   ;-)

  H_LL NO ,, I hate the best of courses. what we need is more real 18 hole courses & what would help a lot is just more pin locations on the courses we got , different pins would make each course different

  Producing new courses is a lot harder and time consuming than producing Best Of courses from what they already have.

  New hole placements require making a ton more photographs, post production of the photographs, and the time needed to integrate the new holes into the programming. Before that can happen WGT would have to get the golf course to let WGT return and disrupt their operation to make the needed photographs.

  It takes WGT's team of photographers a couple of weeks to make the 200,000 to 300,000 photographs it takes to produce all 18 holes of a golf course. We can speculate on how much more time and photographs it would take to photograph and post process more hole placements per green.

  ApexPC:

  I beg to differ: WGT stated that they have pics for the alternative pin positions of all courses. If these are not published for RSG, OLY, PIN, it has more to do with the missing will of the company.

  MIB, I agree with new courses needed but it aint happening, i dont really like the best ofs but as WGT have them i think its time to mix them a bit. I like a lot of par 4s on the game a damn sight better than some of those on the "best of par 4s". Each to their own but shake up needed.
