  LOL. You know there's only 1 time zone that counts and it's 3 hours behind us.  ;-)

  Yessir, and I have it set up on my personal laptop/desktop as well as my work pc.  I hover the mouse over the clock- bottom right corner of monitor and boom  local time and wgt time.  LOL

  +1

  GMT (UTC 0) may be useful for you, too, to catch the CDP switchover. I imagine that the running ahead of five to nine hours isn't easy to manage.

  Not so bad in the continental US-only 3 hours coast to coast and east coasterners are used to looking at the west 3 hours behind.

  Think trans-atlantic: GMT vs. PDST.

  LOL. No thanks, you get to think about that. Time zones on the other sides of the big waters gimme a headache trying to keep track of.  I do know that Australia is tomorrow most of the time for me.  :-D

  Thanks, but can't take the credit.  Believe Scott brought it up in the forums not too long ago.

  That's why an entry for GMT in the PC clock display is helpful - what I said ;)

  Gee, and all this time I thought it was 4 hours difference...No wonder I'm so screwed up! (sigh)

  Just seen the 2015 virtual tour scheduled, and it seems that we will have a few new courses:

  

  So, Pebble Beach will be launched very soon.

  But even more intriguing is the inclusion of Harbour Town and Valhalla. As they aren't any CTTH tournaments, it could be that we will be getting the full course!

  Maybe WGT can confirm this.

  Might be worth remembering too that last year's VT schedule kept changing. Bandon was on for several different months before disappearing completely from the schedule at the end of the year.

  Best case scenario: they release PB in conjunction with the Feb tourney (really best case scenario: we also get Whistling Straits sometime in August with the new PGA tie in)

  Worst case: all those "classic" VT events are CTTH, and full-stroke Pebble languishes into the late fall.
