Cabo and Whistler: The Petition

  Hello Folks.

  After the communication came from Bloshoe and regarding the reopening of the cash register for the links in TruGolf, I already followed this well knonwn discussion to ask a petition to ensure that Cabo and Whistler are inserted between the courses available in the country club, also included fee.

  The mechanism would remain the same, the creation of the tournament with one of the two links taxable applies an individual quota to each player who will agree to participate in the tournament, though WGT must be careful to place this mechanism for it to work even in the case of multiround tournaments.

  For years I ask and heard this feature, to those who like and who is not, but this is golf anyway, no one would go to play on a course that does not like it. I personally would add another one to have a wider choice, but I also know that when there are issues far greater than request a new link or open a simple petition to release two courses for country club might seem unnecessary.

  This is a public petition.

  I would love to have 2 more choices for tournaments,  if a member chooses to not play its no different.

  Two more courses to play would deliver a much more tangible benefit to cc's than those ridiculous cc v cc clashes ever will.

  Full support for the OP in his tireless quest here!

  I thought to find more support but maybe this is won't be a new feature.

  Thanks for reply guys.

  I agree David, the TruGolf courses should be available for CC Tournaments.

  If WGT can have free weeklies, then of course it can be done. These courses are not played on by the masses, and even having a reduced fee may tempt more players to use them.

  But as usual WGT do not seem to listen to sensible requests as the marketing department have far grander plans   cough cough.

  Good luck mate...you just never know.

  Thank you Alan.

  Up above is linked a previous thread posted in the product suggestions wrote down an year ago, I didn't remeber, and just to involve as much players and owners I can. Sure, the WGT Staff are busy enough to solve major issues but waste a couple of days to work on this won't be o sort of unlike, disaffections if it's right. 

  Improve the country club options and selections will be a great stuff for all.

  My owner and I have talked about this recently.  Having Cabo and Whistler included in the CC tournament selection would be awesome!  But considering the issues this game is currently having, I would be hesitant to ask for a change of any kind.  We might all end up with left-handed clubs in our bags.

  I don't think they will lower the green fees again. When they released Whistler they reduced the green fees by 40%.

  Here is the price list from the news section when they released Cabo in April 2011. 

  0 credits – TruGolf closest-to-the-hole
  100 credits – TruGolf 9-hole stroke-play
  150 credits – TruGolf 18-hole stroke-play

  And remember it is not WGT that gets the green fees it is Tru-Golf. I wonder who gets the rake from Cabo and Whistler RG's.

  I've always  wondered why anyone can play a CTTH game at Cabo or Whistler for free off the game client page, but they aren't listed as available for CC tournaments.

  Even just that would be a good thing.

  I agree B2B with the info provided and is 100% correct. However what I suggest is having subsidised green fees for CC Events only (if not free).

  Is this possible? I believe so as the courses have been free to use since December (Nation players only) which makes me think the contractual agreement with TruGolf has possibly expired. WGT are not known for being philanthropic, so why would they open up the courses if it was costing money? 

  The only reason prices were dropped is the courses were not being played (speculation - market forces -demand curve - forced a change). Then the promises of more TruGolf courses never eventuated, which sort of proves my speculation,
