  Are we going to  get free rentals for the open this week? considering you tailor everything for the Americans, all new courses are american they get better offers, and their majors get free rentals!

  Britain needs free rentals!!!!

  WGT is hanging with the US open the last years. They are thinking this option must be very importend for the advertising to the game. But they vorget about that a lot of foreigners are here in this game around. And some have won the US open as well. Very lot of foreigners are paying there money too WGT. And all a round the world there are very interesting golf places. Hope they are open their mind to have more international places in the future.

  You and me had a free rental day with the VUSO, what do you want more?

  "Britain needs free rentals" is illogical. Does the Queen need one, or Mr. Cameron, or ManU...?

  "Home of golf" is sentimental, thus irrelevant. AFAIK, it's the Americans and Japanese who created that hype (resulting in the enormous green fees).

  Our US host has a clear main target market which is the USA, and they have a deal with USGA concerning the USO. Apparently, there's no current deal with any responsibles for the (British) Open.

  Furthermore, they limit the number of free rentals to two or three per year.

  And there are the free two hour rentals on levelling up - new options for players!

  Joking aside yes we all just had one, and it was not dependent on where we live.
