  it's obvious many of you have taken to it. The more of you that jump in here and like this idea, the more likely it becomes that it may someday come to fruition. 

  Just saw this, and I'd like to 'jump in' (prepare for tidal wave) and say I believe it would be a well used feature.

  Anyway, I can't guarentee that we will add this feature, though it's obvious many of you have taken to it. The more of you that jump in here and like this idea, the more likely it becomes that it may someday come to fruition. 

  We have been asking Wgt if we can pay the green fees for others since the courses came in.

  When setting up the game, just click a drop down box giving you the option of paying the green fees for others. It shouldn't be too hard I think as now we can add credits to a free CC comp for prizes.

  Most people would rather save credits for golf balls/equipment rather than pay a green fee. If somebody else pay the fees for them then you will get more people playing those courses

  which could show more interest in the TruGolf  resulting in more courses from them, maybe? 

  As cartoony as they can be, they still are different courses to play and I'd imagine it wouldn't take as long to add new ones here and there.

  Good point Sir ,  If the " Sales " of green fee numbers  go up they might just add some more courses, Or maybe every now and then have a Special ,,

  (   Forth of July 2016 , This week end only Play 9 hole Tru golf course for 25% off  , dont pay 40 c but pay 30 c ,   , And invite your friends to a game . )

  Thinking out side the Box 

  WGT holds  a "Tru Golf Team Tourney" ,,   

  4 friends get together a form a " Team " , 

  ( Please make sure you have a player that can Post a score card pic in the forums )

  Teams play each course , They can do 18 or split in into 9 if need be for time to play , And that gives the 4 friends time to get together and get the game in .

  Cabo and Whistler are great courses, ok they might be Cartoon Courses as they have been called.  For me I don't look at the scenery when playing the game, from tee to green they look like all the courses we play on.  I usually have a bit a fun looking around in multi player games and notice everything around like carparks and highways etc...lol

  If we do get the option of paying green fees for others, then thousands of more players can play those courses too.  

  Not forgetting too, as in real golf,  we can also make side bets with our friends to see who pays for the next round. So basically it brings in more good things.

  I don't like the idea of gift cards,  just a box we can tick would be good

  I am willing to bet that if we do get to pay the green fees for others, there would be a demand to have all game types available.

  Can you imagine the revenue from matchplay and altshot games. It would be like two new courses to choose from.
