  This is a good.

  People call Cabo and Whistler cartoon courses,  I suppose they are ...lol, but the game play is no different to any other course available to us now.

  Which leads me to this...  Bring in 2 more Trugolf courses,  get rid of the green fee's on Cabo and Whistler and include in CC's

  I agree with you and all other, David.

  I fully encourage your petition, dear friend, especially considering that WGT works really bad (and every day worse) from about a year ago (then, WGT needs to be "forced" to work better).

  Thank you to have asked mine opinion, David.

  Greetings.

  100% of my CC members support this petition!!  ;-)

  additional suggestions on adding Cabo & Whistler to CCs.

  1. Make it a benefit to a CC reaching a certain level.  For instance, they get Cabo & Whistler when they reach CC Level 12.

  2. Use part of the greens fee on Cabo & Whistler to fund the CC Bank.  Effectively a slight price cut for WGT, but an incentive to hold CC tournaments on them.  For instance, 5 credits of the green fee for a 9 hole, 10 cr for an 18 hole round goes to the CC Bank.

  Sorry Andy but in this case I totally disagree with you.If CC level is he criteria for obtaining new courses then you are literally punishing the smaller CC,s who wish to remain small.

  Most of my members play everyday,being a small club we are still not at level 7 so level ing up tolevel 12 would be a long long time away.A CC is a CC regardless of size and any options for course play should be equal to all.

  I agree wholeheartedly with Trev (100 plus)  ^^^^^^^

  Forget about the CC Level.. completely irrelevant, why complicate this?

  Just give CC's these additional Tru Golf courses to play on please.

  And free if possible!

  Thanks in advance :)

  Nan,

  And twenty two other optimistic members @ The Lobsters Lair CC.

  Agree:  More options + more reliability = more satisfied customers = more revenue.

  As much as I would like it, the  reality is we are not going to get lots of new courses, Avatars, etc.,etc., etc. Above all I would like this site (WGT) to be simple open and reliable.

  However I do believe The management of WGT have lost the plot, they simply are not listening and do not realise the extent of discontent. IMHO thousands of $ income are being lost daily and wiped off the value off the company for simple lack of customer care and some effort being put into "total quality"

  The hope to believe in this thread will be hard to overcome.

  Last news, and that could leave well portend, is that Cabo has been "sold out" in the new Ready-Go list of tournaments where with enough 50cr. you can access a full stroke.

  Irrelevant?  No.   Trying to make it happen.

  This request is more than18 months old, including the original post, and the only response from WGT has been Icon's

  hi

  I know this has been request for a while but I have no news about it nor I know if it will ever be possible. It may have to do with our contract with them, so it's not something I can foresee changing.t

  -wgticon

  Nothing in 18+ months from WGT management.  Silence.  It hasn't tweaked their interest.

  And that's the intent of my post.  Sweeten the offer. What does WGT need to make this happen?

  Either they can't do it due to their agreement with TruGolf or they feel they can generate more revenue, more interest with their development staff working on other enhancements.  They are a business.

  No doubt in my mind they have enough data on TruGolf play for fee, for free, and in ReadyGos or premium tournaments to give their analysts an idea, a number, predicting how much revenue giving CCs TruGolf courses will generate. 

  Will Cabo and Whistler really generate more CC rounds played?  Or will they merely substitute for rounds played on St. Andrews or other courses?  There's a limit on the number of CC tournaments.  Based on CC level but still a limit.  Will it be a short term interest or will it last?  That's the kind of questions I'd expect an analyst to answer.

  Anyway, the silence from WGT says a lot.  If it was easy to implement and generates a lot of revenue they would have jumped all over it.  So my suggestions were aimed at giving WGT more of what they need and that is more revenue.

  But evidence says WGT doesn't feel course play needs to be equal to all.  WGT Nation members got to play Cabo and Whistler free.  Across the board with Player levels and CC levels WGT believes in incentives.  Play more to get better equipment, use more CC passes to get more CC benefits.

  The level 12 was a "for instance" off the top of my head.  I'm sure WGT would analyze their data on CCs and come up with levels that maximize their incentive across all CCs.  You might still not like their number.  But it's your choice to remain small.  What level could you live with?

  CC level should not be a part of it at all IMO.  If it is then L5 tops or create quite substantial pressure in slowing down CC creation.

  Much as WGT would love every owner wanting a great big club chasing XP at all cost fact is most are not interested in that game, and often for very good reason.  WGT like carrots, but the juicy ones are set low for the quick frying of the masses usually.  Saying that who knows with WGT:)
