Keeping it real

  Since WGT likes to keep the game close to real golf ,such as lost balls and ball wear (profit centers), how about new pin placements a lot more often. Most courses in real golf change the pins daily as opposed to every few months at best with WGT.

  The placement of pins is dependent on the photos taken when the course was set up for use. Moving the pin just a yard would make every approach distance different and is dependent on whether pics were taken from that new position. They'd have to take thousands of pics on each green to cover all positions.

  According to WGT, they've photographed multiple pin positions for every stroke play course they've done. Getting those other pics color corrected, sorted, and into the system can take a good while. Their engineers are likely busy with other fish ...

  +1!

  Pin positions do not directly contribute to revenue but new inventions like CC XPs and Clashes and wrong "last shot/ball" signs do.

  Nonsense. This is for sure a very unrealistic golf game.

  Please think more carefully before you post a reply.

  1) If there is anyone among the WGT members that does not deserve a break is alosso. Just browse some of the venomous replies he has given to other people and you will understand what I mean.

  2) If he speaks English better than you can, is neither here nor there, as what he has wrongly quoted was in medieval middle French :)

  As you can see you did not have to wait long for the next lesson.
