  I've read most of the blogs and treads about new courses but still wonder why WGT still can't use the courses that we play most of the CTTH contests. I think it would be great if we could play a whole 18 holes on courses such as Harbor Town, Celtic Manor, Edgewood, or even Bali Hai. Does it cost that much more for WGT to do the whole course versus just the CTTH? The holes are already there. Is that the main reason? I'd like to know please.

    But I can't wait to play Pebble.

  In order to photograph an entire 9 or 18-hole course we need plenty of time to do so. If the course / country club does not have that ability then we can only photograph the course for a CTTH game. It is not a matter of why don't we, it is that we likely do not have the photographs to make a full stroke play game.

  What about oakmont and the missing best of courses on the mobile platform, any future plans of including them?

  Some CTTH courses are just photographed on 6 holes if you look carefully. You can't stretch 6 into 18.

  Now that was extremely interesting and very instructional as to how each course is set up on WGT. I now have a better understanding of what it takes to be able to play this wonderful game. Thanks ZioMio for showing this to me.

  Oakmont most likely will not be on the mobile platform, The owners of Oakmont are very protective of their Course and how it is used. That is why there are no Oakmont holes in any of the best of courses.

  More pins on existing courses would help a bit, now that should not be too difficult ?

  YES !!

  Unfortunately the RSG ones are "in the can", seems its gone too rusty to be bothered about anymore.
